Eid-ul-Adha speech: Imaam Muhammed Shoayb Mehtar, Khadeeja Islamic Center; October 5th 2014
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha illallahu wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah hil hamd. Alhamdulillah, we have begun our morning reciting and acknowledging Allah (SWT)’s greatness, His invincibility, His mercy, His supremacy and His Kindness upon us . Very few cultures, religions, people, or individuals prepare themselves for a day of celebration with the supreme words of Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La Ilaha illallahu wa Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, wa lillah hil hamd. Alhamdulillah.
Our holidays are not mere days of merrymaking — they are days to cleanse our hearts and link every pore of ourselves to Allah (SWT) and what Allah (SWT) prefers and likes for us to do. What is the way in which we can continue to remember Allah (SWT) in the way the He requires and desires? This question should always be in the forfront of our thinking. It Is not an unfair question. Often we think about our enduation, our dinancial resources, etc. because these are things that are important to us. So are Thoughts regarding Allah (SWT). I too forget this from time to time — however, this is the time to put a halt to out negligence. Continue Reading →

Jumuah speech: Imaam Muhammed Shoayb Mehtar, Khadeeja Islamic Center; September 26, 2014
Allah (SWT) has blessed us to be a part of this sacred month, Dhul Hijjah. There is a demand and obligation in sacred months to perform sacred deeds so as to strengthen our bond between ourselves and our Allah (SWT). On a daily basis we pray Salah. We often get so used to it that we forget the value of our salah. On a weekly basis we come to Jummah to remind ourselves to do good things and be more active within our communities, we get so used to Jummmah salah that we take it as just another day.
As far as Eid is concerned, people see it as a celebration. It is not a celebration like how Christmas, Halloween, or Diwali are celebrated with merrymaking, having fun, coupled with a bunch of enjoyment. Eid is an act of Ibadah, it is an act of worship. Religious actions are not forgotten nor are they diminished. We don’t just say right off the bat, Eid Mubarak. We first say, Assalamu Alaykum or respond to someone with Walaykum Salaam, and then we congratulate the person regarding Eid-ul-Adha if we may so choose. Wishing A good Eid is not priority, salam is when we meet one another. The Sunnah is not forgotten or sacrificed at the expense of a happy Eid. Afterwards comes the hugging, kissing, etc. If you want to call it a celebration, it is not in a form of merrymaking so much that it is a form of filling a spiritual bond with Allah (SWT) and our community.
