Allahu Akbar.
We praise Allah
on this blessed and joyous occasion of Eid
al Fitr.
A day
where muslims gather to worship Allah Subhanahu wa
ta'ala
celebrating,
breaking the fast after a month long fast.
But what's better than having this joyous occasion
in the masajid?
As last the last 2 years, subhanAllah, we
were deprived of this gathering
and this occasion, subhanAllah.
But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
gathered us in his masjid to remember him
and to thank him. So say
We praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala for all
the blessings He bestowed upon us. The blessing
of health, the blessing of safety and security,
the blessing the blessing
of family,
the blessing of friends, the blessing of a
community,
and the blessing
of a masjid like this masjid.
This, my dear beloved brothers and sisters,
is a joyous occasion for us to remember
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
and to reflect
on the days that passed.
As we
deprived ourselves from food, and from drink,
and from marital relations, and from
saying
ill words to others for a whole month.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with this occasion
wants to
tell us, this is your graduation.
This is the day you come out with
a lesson learned. This is the day you
come out with a way that changed in
your life. A routine
that was bad, that you broke and rectified.
And now,
it's the time to implement
your Ramadan resolutions inshallah.
From now until next year, it is a
duty
upon us to increase the par, and to
increase in our
and to increase in our righteous deeds. The
same way we did during the blessed month
of Ramadan.
It is unfortunate my dear beloved brothers and
sisters
that this
joyous occasion for us where
we're able to sit in safety and security,
we're able to sit with our family members,
our relatives,
is not a reality
for many of the muslims around the world.
Especially for our brothers and sisters in Gaza,
and especially for our brothers and sisters in
Palestine,
and the ones who are in Al Masjid
Al Aqsa, who had to pray
who had to
pray
while they were listening to bombs, while they
were listening to gunshots, while they were smelling
tear gas, while they were being
hit and beaten,
while they were in prayer.
In Al Masjid Al Aqsa, defending it at
the forefront on behalf of the rest of
the Ummah of Islam.
So first and foremost,
we send
a a greeting of honor.
And our Eid Mubarak
is special to our brothers and sisters in
Palestine, standing,
defending the honor of the whole ummah on
behalf of us.
They are the well deserving
of this type of greeting.
We ask Allah
to give them victory over the enemies, over
the oppressors,
over the apartheid state, over
everyone
who oppresses and kills
and imprisons muslimeen unjustly.
We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make
this occasion a joyous occasion for us and
for them alike. And we ask Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala
on this blessed and joyous occasion of Eid
al Fitr, to make the next Eid.
Al Fitr in Al Masjid Al Aqsa. 1
where we are able to go and pray
there with them, bi iznillah.
1 where Al Masjid Al Aqsa is free
of occupation.
1 where Al Masjid Al Aqsa
has no enemies, has no oppressors, has no
apartheid. We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
let us see this joyous occasion in this
upcoming year and not to let
We ask Allah.
We ask Allah.
We ask Allah and everyone say, Amin. We
ask Allah that the next Eid does not
come except that Al Aqsa is not under
occupation anymore. Say
My dear beloved brothers and sisters,
we praise Allah
for all the bounty he bestowed upon us.
My dear beloved brothers and sisters, we need
to make this
that is joyous.
That is joyous for everyone.
That is not your normal day. Some of
us may have work.
Some of us may have other commitments.
Some of us
may not have connected with our relatives for
a long time.
Some of us may have some friends or
relatives that are sick in the hospital.
Make this a day where you reach out
to them. Make this a day where you
call them. Do not leave a single family
member, a single relative, a single friend, or
even a friend of your mother or father,
whether they are alive or they have passed
away. May Allah have mercy upon them, except
that you reach out to them. As reaching
out to their friends is part of the
birr of them.
Reaching out to the friends
and family of your parents
after their death is like you obeying them
while they are alive.
So, today, this should be a joyous occasion.
Let us Let, you know, certain things pass.
You know, if
you would normally get annoyed by certain things,
today is the day you don't get annoyed.
If you normally don't allow things, today is
the day you allow things.
If you normally don't go out places because
you're comfortable at home, today is the day
to make yourself uncomfortable, to make others comfortable,
and to change it up for your kids,
and for your family. This is the day
of Eid al Fitr. This is the Eid
of the Muslimeen. The Prophet alaihis salatu wassalam
on this blessed and joyous day,
Abu Bakr radhiyallahu an entered upon him.
And he saw little girls
and they were playing the flute,
right? Inside the house of the prophet
They were blowing in it and dancing.
And Abu Bakr
said,
Right? Is the flute of shaitaan, this musical
instrument
of shaitaan inside the house of the prophet
shaitaan, how can this be? The prophet shaitaan
told Abu Bakr, leave them. Leave them for
every people have a joyous occasion. Every people
have a and this is our
This is
our If there's any time to let something
slip, it's this time.
So let it slip.
Let things go inshallah
and go out with the families. Have fun.
Do things that are not that are not
normal, not mediocre. Make this a different day.
If you even if you go buy your
kids gifts, let them pick whatever they want.
Take them out to a toy store, or
Walmart, take them out to a restaurant, something
that you don't usually go to. Make Eid
different.
And this is part of
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said,
We ask Allah
to bless us on this joyous occasion, to
bless our families, to bless our children. We
ask Allah
to give our children an upright upbringing. We
ask Allah to make them steadfast with their
faith. We ask Allah to unite us all
in jannatumfirdaus.
We ask Allah to accept our fast. We
ask Allah to accept our prayers. We ask
Allah to free our necks from the *
fire. We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to
give victory to our brothers and sisters in
Palestine.
We ask Allah
to protect them from their enemies. We ask
Allah
to help our brothers and sisters in China,
to help our brothers and sisters in Burma,
to help our brothers and sisters in Kashmir,
to help our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan,
in Yemen, in Iraq, in Syria, in Libya,
in Palestine,
and all over the world. We ask Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala to be with them. We
ask Allah to make this a joyous occasion
for them. We ask Allah to unite our
hearts, to unite our ummah and to bless
us with
while it is free of occupation.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make this a
blessed and joyous occasion for the whole community.
