In one sentence

Eid al-Adha is a celebration of gratitude and submission to Allah that should transform sacrifice into obedience, purified hearts, generosity, and communal solidarity.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Begins with praise, Eid greetings, and Quranic calls to taqwa, kinship, and truthful speech.
  2. Presents Eid al-Adha as gratitude for Islam, faith, family, and security, not merely animal slaughter.
  3. Retells Ibrahim, Ismail, and Hajar's sacrifices to emphasize submission to Allah.
  4. Urges listeners to remove envy, hatred, and oppression and celebrate through obedience.
  5. Calls for post-Eid sacrifice when possible, generosity to those in need, community unity, and prayers for oppressed Muslims.

For the dinner table

The imam reminded us that Eid al-Adha is a day of happiness, praising Allah, and remembering His blessings, including faith, family, and security. He recalled the sacrifice of Ibrahim and his family, highlighting Ismail’s willingness to obey and be patient. He asked us to think about our own sacrifices for Allah, including removing envy and hatred from our hearts and giving up oppression. He encouraged us to celebrate through obedience to Allah and to share with people in need. He ended by praying for our community to be blessed, for our hearts to be united, and for forgiveness.

  1. Which blessing are you especially thankful to Allah for today, and how could you show that thanks?
  2. When you feel jealous of someone, what could help you treat them kindly?
  3. How could we share some of our Eid happiness with someone who has less?
