Eid-ul-Fitr Khutba at Leeds Makkah Mosque
Administrator on October 26th, 2007
Eid-ul-Fitr 2007 Lecture (Khutba) delivered at Leeds Makkah Mosque by Imam Hafiz Asim.
Who gains from our acts of worship: Allah or His servant? Why are we ordered to pray, fast, give charity and be good to other human beings? For whose benefit the rules and laws are set down?
The prescribed acts of worship seek to strengthen our relationship with the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth so that we attain inner peace and are in harmony with ourselves and our surroundings. When the relationship is strengthened, a Muslim’s outlook on life changes and he surrenders himself to the will of Allah and Allah showers His blessings on him abundantly. Eid-ul-Fitr is a day when Allah showers His blessings on Muslims for completing the fasts and performing additional virtuous deeds during the month of Ramadan.
