Even the Prophet Muhammad SAW also encouraged us to increase the takbir on the night of Idul Fitri and Idul Adha. In addition, this recommendation for takbir is also found in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 185 which states:

"And complete the prescribed period and glorify Allah for that to which He has guided you, and perhaps you will be grateful."
