In one sentence

During the Days of Tashreeq, Muslims should express gratitude through remembrance, sacrifice, generosity, restored kinship, night prayer, sincere repentance, and adherence to the Quran and Sunnah.

The khutbah in 5 steps

  1. Introduces the Days of Tashreeq as days of eating, sacrifice, and abundant remembrance of Allah.
  2. Urges continual takbir and dhikr throughout the day, not only during Eid.
  3. Encourages spreading salam, feeding the needy, reconnecting with relatives, and praying at night.
  4. Calls listeners to sacrifice their sins through sincere repentance and purify their hearts.
  5. Closes by urging commitment to the Quran and Sunnah and praying for healing and oppressed Muslims.

For the dinner table

The Days of Tashreeq are a time to remember Allah, be thankful, eat and drink, and honor the sacrifice of Eid al-Adha. The khateeb encouraged us to keep our tongues busy with dhikr, share food with people in need, greet others with peace, and reconnect with relatives. He also recommended praying two rak'ahs at night with family when possible. Eid should change our hearts too: we should repent sincerely, leave our sins, and replace resentment and pride with purity. Finally, he reminded us to hold firmly to the Quran and the Prophet's Sunnah while praying for healing, guidance, and relief for suffering Muslims.

  2. How could our family share Eid food with someone who has less?
