In mosques, it is the Imam who delivers the khutbah (sermon) of Eid, however, that is not allowed when the prayer is performed at home. You must say extra five takbeers during the starting of the second rak’ah and then finish your prayer like you normally do. One can say seven takbeers in the first rak’ah and then begin reciting the Quran as done during normal prayers. During normal prayers, ‘takbeer’ is said only once, but for the Eid prayer, you have to say ‘takbeer’ 12 times in two rak’ahs (this is the procedure followed in the UAE). Takbeer refers to when “Allah-Hu- Akbar” is said to begin the prayer and one raises the hands to the ears, it is an Arabic word. The Eid prayer has two rak’ahs, however, it has extra ‘takbeers’. The Eid prayer is done in the same way like in the mosques, however, there is no Khutba (sermon) being delivered by the Imam of the mosque.
