Remember Oppressed Muslims

Eid al-Fitr Khutbah 1422H
Celebrating our Eids is to uphold a Sunnah established some 1400 years ago when the foundations of the first Islamic State, the first and unique Islamic civilization were laid down. On this occasion we thank and praise Allah, Most High, for all His Mercies and Blessings over the Holy month of Ramadhan.

A Muslim lives two lives: a religious and a worldly life — a kind of apartheid rooted in our very personalities. Often we are torn between two loyalties.
