For the dinner table

Today we thank Allah for the blessings of faith, safety, family, and the ability to celebrate Eid. The khutbah reminds us that the spirit of Hajj and sacrifice should last beyond Eid by caring for our families, community, and people who are struggling, while remembering suffering in Gaza, Palestine, and Sudan. If we are able, we should offer the Eid sacrifice as an act of gratitude. We should keep Allah greater than our ego and desires by praying on time and teaching our children to pray. Eid is joyful, but our joy should stay within Allah’s limits and not become an excuse for sin.

  1. How can our family help someone who is struggling this week?
  2. What does Allahu Akbar mean in our everyday choices?
  3. How can we help each other pray on time?
