He encouraged worship and dua on the day of Arafah, including fasting for those who are able. Remembering the brothers killed in San Diego, he asked us to pray for them, remain courageous while taking precautions, and appreciate the people who care for and protect our communities.

He urged us to keep learning and sharing our faith, letting the Quran and Sunnah shape our hearts and help us become fair, kind, and useful to others.
