For the dinner table

Eid al-Adha reminds us of Ibrahim and Ismail, who showed complete trust and patience when Allah tested them. The khutbah says Muslims must protect one another’s dignity and reject racism, because no race is better than another except through taqwa. It also asks men to treat women kindly and fairly and to honor the women who strengthen families and Islam. The imam remembered people who died, are ill, or are grieving, showing that regular visits and prayers are real forms of brotherhood. He encouraged everyone to live Islam openly and kindly with classmates, coworkers, and others while continuing good deeds.

  1. What does patience look like when something difficult happens?
  2. How can our family show brotherhood and love this week?
  3. How can we represent Islam kindly at school or work?
