Zaid Shakir - Allah is Greater Than Our Problems

About this lecture

In this Eid al-Adha khutbah, Sheikh Zaid Shakir powerfully reminds believers that Allah is greater than every problem, struggle, and hardship we face — and that opening our hearts to His greatness transforms how we see the world. Drawing on the example of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) as a leader, teacher, and moral exemplar (*umma*), Sheikh Shakir calls Muslims to rise to their responsibility as guides for a confused world, to magnify Allah in their souls, and to remain steadfast in gratitude. The khutbah concludes with a moving du'a for Muslims facing oppression and hardship around the globe, and a reminder that the greatest increase for the grateful believer awaits in Paradise — the beatific vision of Allah Himself.
