Eid al-Adha calls Muslims to center every sacrifice, choice, and relationship on Allah while preserving Islam in their homes and responding to hatred with trust, protection, justice, and good character.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Eid is presented as submission and re-centering life around Allah.
  2. Deeds done for Allah are preserved, while worldly consumption ultimately disappears.
  3. The Eid sacrifice symbolizes willingness to offer time, energy, life, and death for Allah.
  4. The speaker connects the San Diego mosque attack to jahiliyyah, racism, tribalism, and hatred.
  5. The khutbah closes by encouraging confident da'wah and praying for victims and oppressed communities.

For the dinner table

The imam reminded us that Eid al-Adha celebrates Allah’s greatness and invites us to bring our hearts and lives back to Him. Through the story of Aisha giving away meat, he explained that whatever we sincerely give for Allah is never lost with Him. Sacrifice also means offering our time and energy, and helping our children know and love Islam. Speaking about a tragic attack on a Muslim community, he prayed for the families and urged Muslims to trust Allah, take practical precautions, and respond with wisdom. He encouraged us to show our faith confidently through prayer, honesty, justice, and good character, becoming sources of guidance and benefit for others.

  1. What is one small thing you could give or do for Allah this week?
  2. What helps you feel connected to Islam in our family?
  3. When something unfair makes you angry, how could you respond with both courage and kindness?
