Muslims around the world are preparing for Eid ul Adha with the recitation of the special Takbeer, a highly respected act of worship observed during the first days of Dhul Hijjah.
The Takbeer, also known as Takbeerat al-Tashreeq, is a declaration of Allah’s greatness and is commonly recited after obligatory prayers from the Day of Arafah until the 13th day of Dhul Hijjah.
The commonly recited words are:
“Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La ilaha ill-Allah. Wallahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillahil hamd.”
In English, the phrase means:
“Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no god worthy of worship except Allah. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, and all praise belongs to Allah.”
Islamic scholars say the recitation begins after the Fajr prayer on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah and continues after every obligatory prayer until after Asr prayer on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah.
The practice is regarded as an important Sunnah and a spiritual reminder for Muslims during the Eid season, encouraging gratitude, devotion and remembrance of Allah.
Religious teachings also encourage believers to combine worship with acts of charity, including Qurbani donations, feeding the needy and supporting vulnerable communities during the festive period.
