Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani
Ruling 1505
After maghrib and ʿishāʾ prayers on the eve of Eid al-Fiṭr, and after ṣubḥ prayers, and after the Eid al-Fiṭr prayer, it is recommended that one say these takbīrs:
اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلِلّٰهِ الْحَمْدُ، اَللهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَانَا
allāhu akbar, allāhu akbar, lā ilāha illal lāhu wal lāhu akbar, allāhu akbar wa lillāhil ḥamd, allāhu akbar ʿalā mā hadānā
Allah is greater;[1] Allah is greater; there is no god but Allah and Allah is greater; Allah is greater and all praise is for Allah; Allah is greater for having guided us.
-Ayatullah Sistani, Practical Laws of Islam, Prayer (Salah)
As mentioned in the section on adhān, the complete meaning of this statement is ‘Allah is greater than what He is described as’.
