Today’s khutbah taught that Eid al-Adha and Hajj remind us of Ibrahim’s way of living before Allah. Ibrahim showed submission, frequent supplication, willingness to sacrifice what he loved, clear thinking, a sound heart, peace, gratitude, and patience. We were encouraged to study his legacy in the Quran and practice it by prioritizing prayer, letting go of ego, asking Allah to accept our good deeds, and staying thankful and patient.
