Dream - After fasting for a full month of Ramadan, the day of victory is finally approaching. Yes, Eid al-Fitr is the moment awaited by all Muslims around the world. On Eid al-Fitr, Muslims perform the congregational Eid prayer. This voluntary prayer serves as a conclusion and a form of gratitude for completing the fasting worship. The Eid prayer will be more perfect if Dream's friends perform several voluntary acts before the worship is carried out. God willing, by following the Prophet's voluntary acts, various good things will come to us.

Not only filled with joy, on Eid al-Fitr there are also many privileges that we can obtain. Quoted from nu.or.id, Allah SWT promises forgiveness for those who perform prayers on Eid al-Fitr. As the saying of the Prophet Muhammad, narrated from Ibn Mas'ud: "When the Prophet's ummah fasts in the month of Ramadan and they go out to perform Eid al-Fitr prayers, then Allah says: O My Angels, everyone who has worked will receive their reward."

And my servants who have observed the fasting of Ramadan and left their homes to perform the Eid prayer, and sought their reward (from worship), then know that I have forgiven them. Then someone shouted, 'O people of Muhammad, return to your homes, I have replaced your evil deeds with goodness.' So Allah, the Almighty, said: O My servants, you fasted for Me and you broke your fast for Me, so stand firm and seek My forgiveness.

Sunah before the Idul Fitri prayer is to say takbir a lot. This starts on the night before Idul Fitri or during the night of takbiran. Usually in Indonesia, takbir is done in every mosque using a loudspeaker or by going around followed by many people like a parade event. However, saying takbir can also be done at home.

Before performing the Eid al-Fitr prayer, Muslims are recommended to take a bath first. As the Prophet Muhammad said, "And from Abdullah bin Abbas, he said: 'Indeed, the Prophet took a bath on the day of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.'" (Narrated by Ibn Majah)

The next sunnah before performing Eid al-Fitr prayer is to wear the best clothes. This is in accordance with the following hadith: "From Ali bin Abi Thalib ra, the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. commanded us on the two Eid days to wear the best clothes that we have, and to wear the best fragrance that we have, and to sacrifice with the most expensive animal that we have." (Narrated by Al Hakim in Al Mustadrak)

Before performing the Eid al-Fitr prayer, Muslims are encouraged to eat first. The Prophet Muhammad said: "Do not go out on the day of Eid al-Fitr until you have eaten, and do not eat on the day of Eid al-Adha until you have performed the prayer." (Narrated by At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Ibn Hibban, Ahmad)

Mutual congratulations are also part of the sunnah before Eid prayers. Dream friends can say 'Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum' to relatives, friends, and colleagues. From Jubair bin Nufair, he said that when the companions of the Prophet Muhammad met on the day of Eid, they would mutually say 'Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum' (May Allah accept my deeds and yours). " (Fath Al-Bari, 2: 446)

Other sunnah before performing Eid al-Fitr prayer is to take a different route when going to and returning from the prayer. This is in accordance with the following hadith: "The Prophet saw when celebrating the festival would take a different route (between going and returning)." (HR. Bukhari) This sunnah certainly has a specific reason. By taking a different route, it can allow Dream's companions to meet different people. In this way, happiness can spread even more and people can greet each other.
