Allah is the source of all existence

“Everything we see, everything we breathe, exists because of Allah.”

The khateeb, at 8:29

Allah is Al-Haqq, the ultimate truth and source of all existence, so Eid should deepen gratitude, worship, certainty in revelation, and belief in resurrection.

For the dinner table

The khutbah teaches that Allah is Al-Haqq, the ultimate and only true reality, and that everything exists through Him. On Eid, Muslims should thank Allah for the guidance and strength to fast Ramadan, pray at night, and establish the daily prayers. The takbir reminds us that Allah is greater than everything and that our worship belongs to Him alone. The speaker also reminds us that resurrection and the Day of Judgment are certain, so we should ask Allah to gather us among the righteous.
