Eid al-Fitr Khutba on August 30, 2011 by Anas Hlayhel

'Īd Mubarak to all my brothers and sisters around the world.  May Allāh accept from me and you.  I hope you all had a very happy 'Īd al-Fitr 2011.

Below is a Khutba I would like to share in hope that it will bring benefit to each and everyone of you.

Here is an outline to help you follow through:

Reflections on the departure of Ramadan:

  1. Everyone should acknowledge their shortcomings
  2. Why are we happy on the Day of 'Īd?
  3. What's your personal victory at the end of the month?

Challenges facing the Muslim community:

  1. Getting over our differences
  2. Everyone is obsessed with their opinion
  3. Turning enemies into friends
  4. Getting over the culture of retaliation
