Hajj, Umrah & EidFrom the masjid's own video, May 29, 2026.
Make Eid joyful with remembrance
“Keep remembering Allah in these days and enjoy and bring the happiness to your family.”
In one sentence
During the Days of Tashreeq, Muslims should combine halal joy with frequent remembrance of Allah, strengthen Islamic life at home, and spread happiness rather than grief.
The khutbah in 5 steps
- Defines the Days of Tashreeq as Eid day and the three following days, marked by takbir, eating, drinking, and remembrance.
- Encourages halal enjoyment and discourages bringing grief into Eid through intentionally sorrowful visits to graves.
- Advises frequent takbir after the five prayers and family learning about Mecca, Hajj, and prophetic stories.
- Explains the name Tashreeq through the drying of sacrificial meat and highlights the Prophet’s humility.
- Closes by emphasizing remembrance, the remaining opportunity for sacrifice, Hajj, and prayers for Muslims including Gaza.

Talk about it at home
For the dinner table
The khateeb reminded us that the Days of Tashreeq are days of worship, remembrance, and halal happiness. He encouraged families to say takbir, learn about Hajj, and share prophetic stories together. He also urged us to bring joy to our homes instead of making Eid a time of unnecessary sadness. These days invite us to remember Allah, enjoy His blessings responsibly, and care about Muslims facing hardship, including in Gaza.
