Choosing Allah Above All: The Story Behind Eid

In this week’s khutbah, we reflected on the powerful story behind Eid al-Adha — the unwavering faith and sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). The khateeb reminded us that this blessed day is not just about the act of sacrifice, but about the spirit of submission, trust, and obedience to Allah. Ibrahim’s willingness to give up what was most beloved to him teaches us what it means to truly surrender to our Creator. This khutbah called us to examine our own hearts: what are we willing to sacrifice for the sake of Allah? A timeless reminder that true Eid is celebrating a heart that chooses Allah over everything else.
