About this lecture

In this khutbah, Sheikh Yasir Qadhi reflects on the spiritual significance of the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah by exploring the remarkable legacy of Prophet Ibrahim (alayhis-salam), Hajar, and Ismail — the figures whose faith and sacrifice gave birth to the rites of Hajj. He draws timeless lessons of sabr, tawakkul, ikhlas, and sacrifice from their stories, urging Muslims to fill these blessed days with dhikr, fasting, sadaqah, and worship. The lecture also addresses the ongoing crisis in Palestine through the lens of Ibrahim's story, reminding believers that the ultimate victory always belongs to the people of taqwa.
