What is the Arabic term for the Eid takbir recited from the end of Ramadan until Eid prayer?

The Arabic term for the Eid takbir recited from the end of Ramadan until Eid prayer is “Takbirat al-Eid.” The phrase refers to repeated declarations praising and magnifying God during the festival period.

For Eid al-Fitr, many communities begin reciting the takbir when the end of Ramadan is confirmed and continue until the imam begins the Eid prayer. The exact wording and the point at which recitation starts can vary according to legal school and local custom. A widely known formula includes “Allahu akbar,” followed by praise of God and declarations of His oneness.

Takbirat al-Eid is not the same as the talbiyah, the pilgrimage chant recited during Hajj and Umrah. Nor is it a separate prayer. It is a devotional recitation that helps announce and celebrate the festival.
