It is one of the most auspicious festivities of Islam, with specific practices and supplications. One of them is the \u2018Id al-Qurban prayer. Like the \u2018Id al-Fitr prayer, it consists of two rak\u2018ahs. It is also offered in the same manner, at the same time, and under the same conditions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Whether on the day of \u2018Id al-Fitr or \u2018Id al-Qurban, takbirs are to be recited before and after the prayer (in the case of \u2018Id al-Qurban, up to ten takbirs after the \u2018Id al-Qurban prayer), which all contain the glorification of God, monotheism, His greatness, and our gratitude for His blessing of guidance.[1][610]<br \/>\nIn the qunut of the \u2018Id al-Adhha prayer, as in the previous \u2018id prayer, it is better to recite the supplication, \u201cAllahumma ahl al-kibriya\u2019i wa\u2019l-\u2018azamah\u2026\u201d[1][611] In this supplication, we recognize and remember God through His greatness, omnipotence, clemency, mercy, and forgiveness. For the sake of this great day which is a day of festivity for the Muslims and a source of nobility and pride for the Prophet and his descendants (\u2018a), we beseech God to send salutations to Muhammad and his progeny (\u2018a) and to benefit from His blessings and good things.<br \/>\nThe statement made in this supplication is the most comprehensive request that may be asked from God. We request the following from God: O God! Include me in whatever goodness You bestowed on this day upon Muhammad and his progeny.<br \/>\nAnd also take away from me whatever evil You took away from Muhammad and his progeny.<br \/>\nO God! I ask You for the best of things which Your righteous servants have asked of You.<br \/>\nAnd I seek refuge in You from whatever evil Your righteous servants have sought refuge in You!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>\u2018Id prayer as a prerogative of the leader<\/strong><br \/>\nIn Islam affairs pertaining to Friday and \u2018Id congregational prayers are among the posts designated to the rightful government and Islamic leadership. If oppressive powers assume the posts to advance their own objectives, it is an act of usurpation.<br \/>\nEven designating individuals to conduct the Friday and \u2018Id congregational prayers and the Hajj pilgrimage is one of the prerogatives and functions of the government and guardian of the affair {wilayah al-amr}. Therefore, such affairs being in control of the unworthy individuals is mournful for the progeny of Muhammad (S). In a hadith Imam al-Baqir (\u2018a) has pointed to this fact: \u201cThere is no \u2018Id al-Adhha or \u2018Id al-Fitr for Muslims in which the grief and sorrow of the progeny of Muhammad are not aggravated and revived.\u201d The Imam (\u2018a) was asked about the reason and he said: \u201cIt is because on that day the Ahl al-Bayt could see their rights in the hands of others!\u201d[1][612]<br \/>\nAnd which state of being oppressed is graver for the infallible progeny than the fact that even the Islamic festivities are sorrowful for them, as they remind them of the usurpation of their rights and the deviation of the leadership of society!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tenth day of Dhu&rsquo;l-Hijjah is &lsquo;Id al-Qurban (or  al-Adhha).
