If this works, clicking on "More..." below will display further text below it and change it to "Less...". Clicking on "less..." will hide the additional text.

That was a summary of the sermon More...
Details of the sermon:
Praise is to God and blessing and peace be upon His last prophet and messenger, Muhammad, who conveyed the message, fulfilled the trust, was honest with the community and struggled for God until the certainty of death came to him. "Verily, God and His angels pray for the prophet. O you who have believed, pray for him and send your wishes of peace."

Today, we celebrate the feast of sacrifice commemorating prophets Abraham and Ishmael's unhesitating willingness to sacrifice for God's sake and God's mercy toward them that He saved Ishmael and ransomed him with a ram. God did not wish for Ishamel to die, nor for Abraham to agonize over the death of his only son! God was testing their faith knowing they will pass. This is a lesson for us that difficulties we face may be a test of faith from God and if we pass the test, the difficulty will be over and the reward from God will befall us.

I will now make supplications, say Amen.

  • O God, Do not make this world the biggest of our concerns nor the extent of our knowledge. Make it in our hands but not in our hearts. And do not make our calamity in our religion.
  • O God, make us see the truth as the truth and grant us that we follow it and make us see falsehood as falsehood and grant us that we avoid it.
  • O God, forgive our living and our dead, our present and our absent, our young and our old, our men and our women. O God, as you keep us alive, keep us Muslim and when you recall us let us then be believers.
Let us pray.
