Supplication
Niyyat for Eid al-Adha Namaaz
Recited at the start of the Eid al-Adha prayer on 10 Dhul Hijjah — the Day of Sacrifice, which commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) willingness to sacrifice his son. The prayer is wajib and is offered in congregation. Two forms: for the ma'moom (follower) and for the imam (leader). The prayer is offered at the Eid grounds (musalla) or masjid.
لِلمَأمُوم: أُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ عِيدِ الأَضحَى رَكعَتَينِ فَرضًا مُؤتَمًّا بِالإِمَامِ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى اللَّهُ أَكبَر لِلإِمَام: أُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ عِيدِ الأَضحَى رَكعَتَينِ فَرضًا إِمَامًا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى اللَّهُ أَكبَر
Lil-ma'moom: Uṣallī ṣalāta 'Īdil-aḍḥā rak'atayni farḍan mu'tamman bil-imāmi lillāhi ta'ālā. Allāhu akbar. Lil-imām: Uṣallī ṣalāta 'Īdil-aḍḥā rak'atayni farḍan imāman lillāhi ta'ālā. Allāhu akbar.
For the follower: I intend to pray the Eid al-Adha prayer, two rak'ats, obligatory, following the imam, for the sake of Allah the Most High. Allah is the Greatest. For the imam: I intend to pray the Eid al-Adha prayer, two rak'ats, obligatory, as imam, for the sake of Allah the Most High. Allah is the Greatest.
