Eid should renew Ramadan habits and justice
“Let us carry the spirit of Ramadan with us, remain connected to our masjid, and work toward the betterment of our community.”
Eid should renew gratitude, unity, Ramadan practices, community service, and patient commitment to justice for the oppressed.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Defines Eid as gratitude, joy, unity, and obedience, urging continuation of Ramadan habits.
- Reviews UICA’s Ramadan worship, education, charity, youth programs, and volunteer efforts.
- Calls listeners to remember Gaza and support justice for oppressed people.
- Addresses polarization, restricted speech, and the treatment of immigrants.
- Uses Quranic and hadith guidance to encourage opposing evil and standing for justice.
- Closes with calls to remain connected to the masjid, serve the community, and support suffering people worldwide.
In the khateeb's words
“However, our devotion should not end with Ramadan. The habits we build, fasting, connecting with the Qur'an, assisting those in need, practicing patience, and seeking forgiveness, should continue after Ramadan as well.”
“We must be a voice for the oppressed, standing firm against injustice while maintaining the character and the patience taught to us by our beloved Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.”
“Let us carry the spirit of Ramadan with us, remain connected to our masjid, and work toward the betterment of our community.”
For the dinner table
Eid is a day of gratitude, joy, and unity because Allah gave us strength to worship during Ramadan. The khateeb reminded us to continue Ramadan habits such as Quran connection, helping others, patience, and seeking forgiveness. He also encouraged us to stay connected to the masjid and keep serving our community. We should remember people suffering in Gaza and elsewhere, and stand for justice with courage, patience, and good character. We ask Allah to accept our worship, relieve the oppressed, and keep our community united.

- How can we speak up for justice while showing patience and good character?
