Aidilfitri sermon: Worldly life: A test for mankind

21 March 2026

Our success in completing the acts of worship during the month of Ramadan did not depend solely on our own efforts. Rather, it is by the mercy and love of Allah s.w.t. upon all His servants.

Scholars explain that gratitude for our blessings is not merely uttered through our words. Consider the following explanation: 

First, gratitude must arise from a heart that is certain and convinced that every provision and blessing comes from Allah. To Him alone we direct our prayers and hopes. 

Second, gratitude must be expressed with the tongue. By saying ‘alhamdulillah’, we acknowledge the Giver, that is Allah, and seek His blessings in our provision. 

Third, gratitude must be reflected in our actions. Every favour we receive is a trust from Allah. We will be held accountable for every blessing we possess.
