What should be the topic of the Eid
Khutba for this year 14/45/2024?
I think,
people are asking about this because of the
situation in Gaza and the pain the Ummah
is going through.
First of all, just general advices. 1st of
all,
the Eid Khutba,
the Eid Khutba
should not ignore what is happening to Muslims.
This is a must, otherwise
it will be irrelevant and that will put
people off.
This is number 1.
Never ever,
never ever,
send negative messages to people.
Tell people off
during the Eid Khutba. It is one of
the great opportunities that Muslims
are attending and using to learn about Islam.
You should
let them come out of the
Eid Khutba and Eid gathering and Eid salah
positively.
Be careful.
My dear brothers, my dear imams.
Okay? The third thing, which is a recommendation,
if you send some positive
clear messages, actions
that they can do. So these are the
three points that
really
imams should
take care of, which is not to ignore
what is happening in general and
this id Khutba,
they should not ignore what is happening to
our brothers and sisters in Gaza.
The second point is
they should let people feel positive.
And the third one is if there are
action items,
such as for this year,
we should encourage people to vote,
to register, to vote for the coming elections.
So these are the 3 messages.
Now Eid Khutba in general, it should start
by glorifying Allah for
the nirmah of al Islam.
Secondly,
we should give a brief description of al
Islam.
That it is a deen of submission of
Allah
and the essence of submission is loving Allah
loving,
glorifying Allah,
fearing Allah, loving the prophet
believing in the hereafter.
Then
some of the clear features of al Islam,
that Islam is built upon 5,
pillars as the prophet
and Islam
and also the main pillars of Islam. And
as the prophet
said, and you can quote the,
the the the ayat
that talk about this. Then after that praise
Islam for its
high
morality,
for the ethics of al Islam, for the
akhlaq of al Islam and quoted the hadith
when the prophet
said, I was sent to perfect the akhlaq
of people.
And this year, in particular,
let us focus on justice.
The justice of alayhis salam, Allah Jallallahu Alaihi
says, Yaa yuallahu
Alaihi wa'ala called us as the Ummah of
justice
and the injustice
that we see in the world and
the raza,
the occupation
of raza have
manifested that injustice that is carried out by
even
the global systems.
And we need to take this opportunity
to offer Islam as an alternative
system. My dear brothers,
my dear imams,
offer Islam,
tell people that
now Islam
has
the Islam always have
a role to play. But now in particular,
there is a huge
gap and there will be no other system
better than Islam to fill that gap.
So this is in general what to say.
Now regarding the messages,
the the final point, which is the messages
that we need to send.
I suggest that,
you
give people
those action items.
1st of all, that they need
to continue,
their ibada and
trying to increase even their ibada.
And you can and you should mention the
hadith of the prophet
about fasting 6 days after fasting Ramadan, which
is symbolic for what? Continuation of Ibadah. Continuation
of repentance, of recitation of Quran, of salatul
layl, of, abstaining
from haram things,
improving your language,
improving your akhla, improving
maintaining their ties of kinship, etcetera.
This is one
thing. The second thing,
unity
of Muslims.
We should stress on this
and we should showcase that Gaza have united
Muslims. This is the second point.
The third point is we should encourage Muslims
to do more dawah in particular
these days because
the world is looking for alternatives
and we have seen that so many people
are accepting Islam. It is our unique opportunity.
The 4th
point, which is the empowerment of the Muslim
community.
We need to empower
every single one within the Muslim community. Within
the Muslim Ummah, but here in the UK,
within the Muslim,
community. Empower them to be active
politically,
to be active,
to be active on media, to be active
in the judiciary
sector,
to be active
also
in economy,
to be active in education,
to be active in social life,
and
importantly,
more importantly, to be active in da'wah. In
general, we have a very unique opportunity.
The end of the Khutba should be a
very positive end by telling people be optimistic.
The prophet
used to be optimistic
and he,
he said that he
likes
optimism.
This is part of our an extension of
having good thoughts about Allah
and this is the nature of Islam.
This should be an end that people
leave the Khutba with. May Allah
to deliver this message.
to deliver this message.
