For the dinner table

On Eid al-Adha, the khateeb reminded us to return to Allah through the Quran, the masjid, and the Sunnah. He emphasized that parents carry a serious responsibility for their children’s deen, while children should honor and care for their parents. He encouraged families to build peace, love, and respect at home. After prayer, he urged the community to greet one another warmly, perform udhiyah when able, and make Eid a source of happiness. He closed by reminding us that the reward of obedience remains, while sinful pleasure fades and its burden remains.
