Eid Al-Adha 2026 Khutbah | Imam Muhammad Al-Durrah

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. All praise is due to Allah.

The staff, we wish each and every one of you a very happy Eid. InshaAllah everybody has a great day. We'll be starting Salah in a few minutes so we can continue At-Takbirat, but in the meantime if you can all fill up the spaces in front and we'll be able to get everybody who is in the back up in the front quickly InshaAllah and we'll get going in a few minutes InshaAllah.

And we worship none but Him. We are sincere to Him in our religion even though the disbelievers hate it.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Ya Allah, barakallah fi kum. Let's get ready by the will of Allah. Every year you are doing good. Ya Shabab, Salatul Eid - the first Salah has seven Takbeerat, the second has, the first Raka'a seven, the second has five Insha'Allah. Then it's like any regular two Raka'at. We ask Allah to make it a good and blessed Eid for the Ummah of Islam. Masha'Allah, are you ready? Bismillah Salatul Eid. Ya Thabakum Allah.

Allah is the greatest. Allah listens to those who praise Him. Allah is the greatest. Allah is the greatest. Ameen. Allah is the greatest. Allah listens to those who praise Him.

Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you. Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.

Three Advices for Eid

Brothers and sisters, three advices in this Eid:

First: Return to Allah's Way

To go back to Allah's way and to connect ourselves to the way of Allah - the Qur'an, the Masjid, the Sunnah of رَسُولُ اللهِ. Allah brought us for a purpose and Allah will come and we will stand with Him. Every individual person will stand in front of Allah with his and her own deeds. May Allah make it easy for us.

Second: A Message for Parents

The second thing, a message for the parents. Allah said we came to this world - so much of pain, difficulties, hardships our parents went through. Then, the upbringing, taking care of the kids in this society at this time, it's not easy. By Allah, it's one of the biggest responsibilities on us as parents.

So we have to get ready and take care of this responsibility in a serious way, or a day will come, as we said, we will be standing in front of Allah and Allah will ask each individual one of us: What did you do with your kids? How is their deen? In a time when everybody is attacking Islam and Muslims, how can we make sure that our kids are on the way of Allah? How can we know that our kids, as they are successful in the dunya, they are successful in their akhirah?

How can I make sure that every day my kids pray their salah, they do their best? As we are upset when they miss any of their assignments, we want to make sure that they are connected to their salah, their ibadah.

Third: Be Good to Your Parents

And a small advice for all of us, especially for the young kids - may Allah protect their deen and may Allah bless them - be good to your parents. Look around and see if you still have your parents around you. Say الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ. May Allah grant our parents, may Allah make them happy in this life and the life after.

Don't make other people happy when it comes to your home, when it comes to your own family, your own parents and you neglect them. And remember, Allah has connected his pleasure with the pleasure of our parents. May Allah grant them جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ.

Special Message for Our Sisters

And a small message for our sisters: If you pray your salah and you fast the month of Ramadan and you respect and obey your husband in the circle of the obedience of Allah, a day will come and the doors of Jannah will be open and it will be said to you as sister: Come and choose any of the doors of Jannah and enter. SubhanAllah, this is a special gift for our sisters.

So may Allah bring the peace and love and respect in our homes and may Allah forgive us all.

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, one and no partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. May Allah's peace and blessings be upon his family and companions.

Concluding Advice

Two things to end with: Unity ya ikhwani. After we finish insha'Allah ta'ala, say salam to your brother next to you. The sisters the same thing. Hug each other, say good words.

Then if you have a chance to go - we pray early insha'Allah - go, slaughter your udhiyah and remember that this is the sunnah of our father Ibrahim and رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم encouraged us to do it and we get so much of hasanat because of that. May Allah accept from all of us.

Enjoy your Eid. Be a source of happiness and remember subhanAllah: The pain of the obedience will go away and the ajr will remain insha'Allah. And the joy of the haram will go away then the sin will remain, unless if we go back to Allah.

Allahumma ahfaz our community ya Allah. Ya Allah bless us, bless our families, bless our parents. Ya Allah as you gather us here, gather us under your shade يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Kullu aam wa antum bi khair wa taqabbalallahu minna wameekum salihil a'mal wasalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
