For the dinner table

The khutbah reminds us that Eid al-Adha honors Ibrahim and his family for their obedience, trust, and devotion to Allah. Ibrahim followed Allah’s commands, called people to worship Allah alone, and treated even his rejecting father with love and respect. His family’s example teaches us to build relationships marked by mercy, patience, and sincere advice. On Eid, we should show gratitude through generosity, joy, family time, and sharing the meaning of the day with others.

  1. When is it hardest to obey Allah, and what could help you follow through?
  2. How can we give advice kindly when someone we love is making a mistake?
  3. How could our family share Eid joy with someone outside our home?
