The devotional acts at this night are as follows:
Moreover, some narrations have mentioned that this night is not less blessed than the Qadr Night. Many narrations have referred to the great merits and rewards of those who spend this night, as a whole, with acts of worship. The night of Eid Ul Adha is one of the blessed nights. And if you act this way you may be able to perform the worshipping acts on that night. And if you became sleepy, sleep with the intention of nearness to God so that you may gain energy and wake up to turn to God later. However, if it does not have a special worship act, or a special worship act had been quoted for a portion of that night, then spend the rest of that night with asking for forgiveness and correcting your relationship with the Almighty God by cleaning the heart, rubbing off the darkness that has resulted from insisting on sin, saying God‟s remembrances and other affairs that you need for gaining the prosperity of this world and the eternal home of the Hereafter.
Thus, if there are some especaial deeds for that night you should act based on that. You should act as if you are in the presence of your Master and your Master sees you. The intention from staying up at night and doing acts of worship acts is to completely direct all your moves and actions to the Almighty God with the intention of nearness to God. The following is narrated based on documents on the authority of my grandfather Abu Ja‟far al-Tusi – may God have Mercy on him – as narrated on the authority of As-Sadiq (as), on the authority of his father (as), on the authority of his grandfather (as), on the authority of Ali (as), “Ali (as) liked to have some spare time and spend four nights each year to do acts of worship.” These four nights are as follows: the first night of the month of Rajab, the first night of the middle of Sha‟ban, the night of the Eid ul-Fitr Festival and the night of the Eid ul-Azha.
