Quotes
In the khateeb's words

Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
In this Eid khutbah, we heard how Ibrahim faced difficult tests with trust in Allah, and how his family showed patience and faith. The khateeb encouraged us to follow that example through obedience, remembrance of Allah, and sacrifice for His sake. He compared remembrance to planting seeds for our place in Paradise. He also asked us to reach out to relatives, share with people who are poor or displaced, and take the first step toward ending quarrels. As we enjoy Eid with our children, we can remember those facing hardship and share what Allah has given us.
