Eidul Fitr Khutbah 2024
By Basharat Ali
We live in a strange world indeed. Eid greetings from Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak while they supply weapons for the slaughter of thousands of women and children? Non-Muslim activists being criminalised and arrested for protesting against the killing while so many Muslim leaders remain silent and turn the other way?
Eidul Fitr 2024 khutbah by Arshad Gamiet
By Arshad Gamiet
Islam is not a spectator sport. It’s not good enough for us to sit around, like couch potatoes in front of our giant TV screens, complaining and criticising without lifting a finger to improve the situation.

Allah will surely give the people of Gaza their victory one day. Let us help them by lawful protest, fundraising for humanitarian aid, and sharing the truth online against the tide of lies and propaganda…

How did he respond in this most desperate, helpless situation? This khutbah offers some vital lessons for all Muslims today…
Self-preparation: Gaza reflection
By Omar Medani
What can we do in the face of such a calamity that is unfolding in Gaza? This khutbah offers some useful suggestions. We should learn from our history. Do the best you can, within the law, to fight the “information jihad” and to speak the truth in the face of so much distortion and misinformation.
