Origins of Takbeer and Why Muslims Recite:

Prophet Ibrahim, may peace be upon him, had a dream. In this dream he was commanded by Allah subhana wa ta’ala to sacrifice his son Isma’il.

When he told his son about this dream, his son agreed that whatever Allah has ordained you must follow. They both agreed to submit to the will of Allah.

Ismail lay prostrate with his forehead touching the ground, while his father laid a sharp knife upon his neck.

Allah then called down right before Ibrahim (a) began moving the knife, “O Ibrahim! You have done my bidding and now you will be rewarded!”.

A large ram was brought as an alternative sacrifice, so instead of killing his son, Ibrahim slaughtered the sheep in the name of Allah.

The angels exclaimed: Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar. Ibrahim heard the voice of the angels and said: “La Ilaha Illallahu Wallahu Akbar”

Isma’il heard this conversation and realized that God had relieved him from this great trial and so he said: “Allahu Akbar Wa Lillahil Hamd”

It is wajib (compulsory) for every adult Muslim to recite Takbeer Tashreeq audibly after fardh salat starting from Fajr of 9 Dhu al-Hijjah until after Asr of 13 Dhu al-Hijjah. It doesn’t matter if the salah was performed individually or in congregation. It should also be recited for Eid al adha salat.

Women are advised to recite silently.

There is great reward to reciting this in the first ten days of Dhu’l-Hijjah as these are venerated days. Allah swore by them in the Quran, this should tell us there is great benefit placed on these days.

“By the dawn [this is an oath from Allah. He has the right to swear by any object of His creation (i.e., the sun, the moon, the stars, the dawn, or the angels]; By the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah)” Surah Al-Fajr ayat 1-2

In the tafseer of Ibn Katheer, 8/413 it is written:
