Today we celebrate Eidul Adha: The Eid of the Sacrifice. Over the past few days, millions of sheep, goats, cows and camels have been sacrificed and their meat has been shared with the poor, all over the world.

Central to the khutbah is the contrast between those who recognise what Allah revealed as truth and those whose hearts are “blind”—a spiritual blindness—emphasising that true guidance is taken by ulul al-albāb (people of sound wisdom).

No one has a greater duty to live by this ethic of discipline than we Muslims. In the mosque, in the home, in the workplace or social gatherings, we Muslims must be the true exemplars of discipline, just like our Prophet Abraham and Muhammad sws were the leading examples of discipline in their time…

“* Al‑Jabbār is a Name of both power and mercy — Allah is mighty, yet He consoles, heals, and restores broken hearts.
* Allah is far above all creation, yet very close to us, hearing every duʿā’ and knowing every struggle.
* Allah controls everything in the universe, but humans have free choice in faith and actions and are accountable for them.
* Al‑Jabbār mends: He strengthens the weak, heals the sick, enriches the poor, and gives victory to the oppressed.
* When people of power humble themselves before Allah, His mercy descends upon all..”

Living a meaningful life rooted in the worship of God, and trusting in His purposes for us, not only brings the soul inner joy, it anchors it and offers it resilience against the ravaging winds of existential despair. For a believer, life has meaning; loss has meaning; death has meaning. Nothing is fortuitous

Throughout history, tyrants and oppressors have created distractions from their behaviour to avoid being exposed of their crimes. But remember that every accusation is really a confession. The oppressors blame Muslims and Islam for the very crimes that they themselves have committed.

Allah gives both believers and non‑believers in this worldly life, but He gives the Hereafter only to those He loves. Giving is not always a sign of honour, nor is withholding necessarily a sign of rejection. Sometimes Allah withholds out of mercy, protecting the believer from what may lead them astray. A believer should ask Allah only for provisions that draw them closer to Him, not those that distract from worship.
