Focus on Allah - Khutbah of ʿEid ul Fitr 1446/2025 by Shaykh Abu Ḥakeem Bilal Davis

1st April 2025 Below are the points covered in this khutbah:  Ramaḍān is a month where acts of worship are established purely for the sake of Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى).  Ramaḍān is the month when the Qur’ān was revealed.  Allāh wants ease for you. He does not want hardship for you.  Allāh wants you to make takbīr of Him – to deem Allāh greater than everything else.  ʿEīd is intended to purify and strengthen you and your bond with Allāh.  We make takbīr of Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) in gratitude for guiding us.  Takbīr is said on the tongue but it resides in the heart.  The Muslim should focus and concentrate on Allāh and not what people think.  Fasting is done for Allāh because only Allāh knows if you are truly fasting.  There is no deity besides Allāh and He has given us numerous blessings.  Do not be a servant of Allāh in the month of Ramaḍān only.  Evil is the one who only knows his Lord in the month of Ramaḍān.  When tried with afflictions, your first call should be to Allāh.  Focus on Allāh, the One who will judge you on Yawmul Qiyāmah.  On the 1st of Shawwal, the Shayāṭīn are returned and unrestricted. We need the aid of Allāh to repel them from us.  We need the aid of Allāh to develop our soul.  ʿAlī Ibn Abī Tālib (رضى الله عنه) said he knows that his soul inclines to blameworthy traits and that he is not guided except when he disobeys his soul.  ʿAli also said there are some things that are only manifest by the look in the eyes, i.e, the evil eye and an evil intention.  True love can also be seen when what is in the heart is manifest through a ‘twinkle’ in the eye.  What is in the heart also becomes manifest through the tone of one’s voice.  Do not focus on what people say about you. Focus on Allāh, the One who truly knows you.  Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said a person should recognise that his forelock , as well everyone else’s, is in the Hands of Allāh.  The Muslim should have no need or reliance on the servants of Allāh.  Did this Ramaḍān make us closer or more distant to Allāh?  ʿAlī (رضى الله عنه) said that taqwá is fear of Al-Jalīl, acting upon the Revelation, being satisfied with little and preparing for the day of our Journey.
