Eid with Purpose: Be an Agent of Change
Be an Agent of Changeits a call to action to follow the example of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). His story isnt only about sacrifice its about choosing obedience over desire, faith over fear, and submission over self. It reminds us that real change begins when Allah is at the center of every decision, no matter how difficult. Before the sacrifice, there was surrender. Before the action, there was a heart fully aligned with the will of Allah. Thats where true change begins not just in the world, but deep within ourselves. So as we celebrate Eid and start fresh: Lets not be held back thinking we have nothing to give everyone does. Its the small actions that build up.
Lets live our lives with the values of our Deen what we want for ourselves, we want for our brother. Lets challenge ourselves to do those things that are sometimes uncomfortable but are needed to move the community forward lets show up! Change begins with us. Let this Eid be more than a celebration lets renew our intentions. Let it be a commitment renewed. A step toward becoming agents of change for ourselves, and for our ummah.
