Yusha Evans - Following the Commandments of Allah

About this lecture

In this Eid al-Adha khutbah, Yusha Evans draws on the story of Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail (عليهما السلام) to explore three foundational principles of Islamic life: obedience, submission, and sacrifice. He challenges Muslims — particularly those raised in the West — to move beyond intellectual debate about religious obligations and to embrace full, wholehearted compliance with Allah's commands, as the Sahabah did. The lecture closes with a powerful reminder to practice gratitude for life's blessings and to remember the suffering of the global Muslim Ummah on this day of celebration.
