Perform Ghusl

Subsequently, it is recommended to perform Ghusl, a full-body ritual purification bath. 

Prior to this, believers recite a prayer, declaring their belief in Allah and their commitment to follow the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).. 

O Allah, believing in Thee, fully aware of Thy Book, following the way of life of Thy Prophet Muhammad, Allah’s blessings be on him and on his children, (I take bath).

allahumma emanan bika wa tasdedan bikitabika wattiba`a sunnati nabiyyika muhammadin salla allahu `layhi wa alihi

اللّهُمّ إِيمَاناً بِكَ وَتَصْدِيقاً بِكِتَابِكَ وَاتّبَاعَ سُنّةِ نَبِيّكَ مُحَمّدٍ صَلَّى اللّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ.

Upon completion of the Ghusl, another prayer is recited, asking Allah to allow you to make amends for your wrongdoings and purify their faith.

Then recite Bismillaah and start making Ghusl, after finishing ghusl, recite this

O Allah let me make amends and compensate for my wrong doings, (so that) my religion becomes pure and O Allah remove the dirt from me.

allahumma ij`alhu kaffarattan lidhunube wa tahhir dene allahumma adh-hib `anniya alddanasa

اللّهُمّ اجْعَلْهُ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِي وَطَهّرْ دِينِي. اللّهُمّ أَذْهِبْ عَنّي الدّنَس

Commence the Day with Salat

Beginning the day with Salat (prayers) is one of the highly recommended Amaal for Eid Al-Adha and it’s seen as an expression of gratitude and an invocation of divine blessings.

Special Du’as: A Connect to the Divine

Special supplications or Du’as are also an integral part of the Amaal for Eid Al-Adha. 

These heartfelt prayers serve as a conduit to seek divine mercy, blessings, and forgiveness.

One such example is the Ziyarat of Imam Hussein (AS) to be recited on the day of Eid.

Recitation of Takbir

Reciting the Takbir (Allahu Akbar, meaning God is the Greatest) is another Amaal for this festival. 

The Takbir is usually recited after the confirmation of the sighting of the moon until the start of the Eid prayer. This act is a form of glorifying Allah SWT and expressing gratitude for His blessings.

Visit the Needy and the Sick

Visiting the needy, the sick, and the elderly is a highly valued practice during Eid Al-Adha, it’s an act of kindness that strengthens community bonds and ensures that everyone can partake in the joy of the festival.

Fast the Day of Arafah

Last, but certainly not least we have fasting. While not mandatory, fasting on the Day of Arafah, the day before Eid Al-Adha is highly recommended, as it is believed that this fast expiates the sins of the past and the coming year!
