Does anyone know of the proper greetings for Eid ul Adha?  
Perhaps 3 or 4 might help.  Shukran.

slm,

well according to the brother who teaches our sunday school class, he said that saying 'Eid Mubarrak' is bidd'ah. the best thing to say is 'Takabalallahu minna wa minkum'... i forget the exact meaning of it, but it means something like 'may Allah accept (the prayers) from me and from you'. i have also heard others say 'Eid Saeed'...

so umm... anyway, takabalallahu minna wa minkum :)

one grammatical point:

taqabballah minNA wa minkum
may Allah accept from US and from you

taqaballah minni wa minkum
ditto except from me and from you
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

haha no arsalAN didnt say that... the brother who said it didnt explain... he just said that it was an innovation and its better to say 'takaballah...' after the eid khutba instead of eid mubarrak... he was reading it out of a book... inshallah i'll ask him about it today :)

I hadn't heard that saying Eid Mubarak was biddah, in fact the sheikh explaining how to do the Eid prayer said Eid Mubarak after that.

Well,here we say :
"takabal Allah minna wa minkum salih al-a'amal"
(the last two words mean : good deeds).
we also say:
"min ala'aydeen,alfayzeen"
meaning :
hoping you are from the ones who return(a'aydeen)and winners(fayzeen).
Of course in my homepage I did use "eid mubarak" because it the one understood universally.

AS salaamu alaykum, and may Allah accept all of you all good
deeds and mines. Subhanallah, this morning i was reading ibn
Taymiyyahs'Fatawa and i happened to come across a question similar to the
original one, whereby he {ibn Taymiyyah} was asked: "does the greeting which
many people say at the time of eid "Eid Mubarak" or what is similar to
this, is there a basis or not for this in the shareeah, and there is a
basis for this in the shareeah, how do we reply?
  The answer: As for the greeting on the day of eid they used to say
to each other after the eid salah "taqabal Allah mina wa minka",
"ahaalullaha alayka", or what is similar to this. And this is what has been
narrated that the sahabahs used to do, and other scholars such as imam
Ahmad saw it as permissible.
  However, imam Ahmad said "I do not initiate {the greeting} with
anyone, but if someone says it to me,  I answer him greeting back". And
this is because returning a greeting is wajib, but as for initiating the
greetings, then this is not a sunnah one is commanded to do, nor is one
also prohibited from doing it, thus whoever does it he is following a
good example and whoever leaves it off is also following a good example,
and Allah knows best.
Btw, this is from Assing, my computer is down, hence i am posting in
this manner.
