It is written in Halabî-yi kebîr, “The namâz of ’Iyd consists of two rak’ats. It is performed in jamâ’at. It cannot be performed individually. In the first rak’at, after the Subhânaka the takbîr-i zawâid is said three times, that is, the hands are lifted up to the ears three times; in the first and second times, they are let down hanging on both sides, and after the third time they are clasped under the navel. After the imâm says the Fâtiha and the additional sûra aloud, they (the imâm and the jamâ’at) bow for the rukû’. In the second rak’at the Fâtiha and an additional sûra are said first, then the hands are lifted up to the ears three times, and after each time they are let down hanging on both sides. In the fourth takbîr you do not lift your hands up to your ears but instead prostrate for the rukû’. In the first and second rak’ats five and four takbîrs are said respectively. And in order not to forget where you will put your hands in those nine takbîrs, you memorize this procedure as follows: “Hang them twice and clasp them once. Hang them thrice and then prostrate.”

Qadr Night is a night in the blessed month of Ramadân. Imâm-i Shâfi’î noted that it was most probably the seventeenth night, while Imâm-i a’zam Abû Hanîfa said that the most probable night was the twenty-seventh. We have been told to look for it between the twentieth and the thirtieth nights. It is the most valuable night praised in the Qur’ân al-kerîm. It was during that night that the revelation of the Qur’ân al-kerîm had its inception.
