What is recommended on the day of 'Id al-Fitr

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Regarding the blessed day of 'Id al-Fitr, what is recommended for us?

Answer:
It is recommended for the Muslim to recite the takbir at the beginning, when going out for the 'Id prayer and in the prayer ground. It is recommended that he strive to attend the 'Id prayer and not be absent from it, because it is one of the symbols of Islam, and so that he may obtain the great reward for completing this month with this great prayer and this great gathering, and for attending the gathering of the Muslims. He is likely to obtain a good conclusion and complete reward from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), so he should not be lazy about the 'Id prayer.
It is recommended for Muslims to display joy and happiness on this day, because this is joy in the grace of Allah. The Muslim does not rejoice in the 'Id merely because he has finished fasting and because eating and drinking have become permissible for him; his joy is not in his desires. Rather, his joy is, first and foremost, that Allah has granted him the completion of fasting this month and standing in prayer, so he rejoices in that. Allah the Exalted said: It is necessary to increase in the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it is necessary to display the breaking of the fast, whether for individuals or for the group.
As for individuals, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat before going out for the 'Id prayer. On 'Id al-Fitr, he would eat dates before going out for the prayer. It is recommended for the Muslim to follow the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and eat dates before going out for the 'Id prayer. As for the group of Muslims, they display the breaking of the fast and the food in the markets and streets, they gather around it, they meet one another, they exchange the salam, they display the breaking of the fast, and they eat from what Allah has provided for them on this day. Yes.
