![]() ![]() Today, perhaps one of the most neglected areas of our family and community life is our collective treatment of women who, after all, are our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, wives, and daughters. ![]() We offer these reminders in this article: Respect and Honor for Women These reminders are collectively known as his last khutbah, delivered on the 9th day of Dhul Hijjah, on the mount of ‘Arafah. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) performed the hajj in the 10th year after the hijrah, and at various stations of the hajj, he delivered small reminders that deal with respect and honor for women, unity and brotherhood, and holding on to our sources of guidance. The khutbah gets squeezed in between the salah and the celebration however, it contains some very salient reminders that we need to take note of in order to improve our individual, family, and community lives. People rush to the prayer hall, pray the ‘Eid prayer, and then either rush back to work or to join their friends and families for the celebration. While the khutbah of Salat’ul ‘Eid is meant to be a source of inspiration that provides us with valuable reminders, unfortunately, it becomes the part of the ‘Eid day that receives the least attention. Regardless of whether you prayed Salat’ul ‘Eid on Monday or Tuesday, today (Wednesday) is still one of the days of ‘Eid and so, it is a day of celebration for all Muslims. ![]()
