In one sentence

Islam is a complete way of life, so Muslims should learn its halal and haram guidance, follow prescribed worship rather than inventing rituals, and participate responsibly in society.

The khutbah in 6 steps

  1. Introduces Quranic guidance on forbidden foods and trained hunting animals as evidence that Islam provides comprehensive guidance.
  2. Urges Muslims to learn halal and haram rulings and seek informed guidance for everyday decisions.
  3. Explains food prohibitions and lawful hunting conditions, including trained animals, saying Bismillah, and slaughtering game found alive.
  4. Warns against creating new religious observances and distinguishes prescribed Eid practices from invented celebrations.
  5. Leads the congregation through prayer and announces Eid al-Adha prayer times.
  6. Encourages understanding U.S. law, constructive civic participation, and concern for people affected by a San Diego incident.

In the khateeb's words

“pam? oherwydd bod ymddiriedaeth a chymeriad yr arglwydd yn y ffordd yr ydyw yn ei ddweud, y mae'r arglwydd yn ei ddweud yn y ffordd yw'r ffordd.”

For the dinner table

The khutbah taught that Islam is a complete way of life, including guidance for ordinary choices about food, worship, and community conduct. It explained that some foods are forbidden and that lawful hunting requires a trained animal, saying Bismillah, and slaughtering game found alive. The speaker also warned against inventing new religious celebrations and emphasized following the practices prescribed for Eid. After prayer, the congregation was invited to celebrate Eid al-Adha with family and friends and to learn how the U.S. legal and civic system works. The closing message was to participate responsibly, stay attentive to community safety, and support people facing hardship.

  1. What everyday choice could we make more carefully if we remembered that Islam guides ordinary matters?
  2. What does saying Bismillah and following the rules teach us about responsibility?
  3. What is one way our family could learn about or participate in our local community?
