IOST Masjid | Khutbah: Ummah Unity Over Politics | March 20, 2026

$Here is the condensed "TL;DR" of the Eid al-Fitr 2026 services:1. Spiritual MomentumThe Ritual: The prayer featured Surah Al-A'la and Surah Al-Ghashiyah, moving from the "Most High" to the "Overwhelming" reality of the afterlife.Consistency: The Imam warned against being the person for whom Ramadan "never happened." He urged the community to use the "Shawwal Math" ($30 \text{ days} + 6 \text{ days} = 1 \text{ year reward}$) to stay disciplined.2. Geopolitics & JusticeConflict: Addressing the 2026 Israel-Iran tensions, the sermon labeled it a time of "senseless killing" where neither the killer nor the victim truly understands the "why."The Trap: The community was told to ignore the media’s Sunni vs. Shia narrative. In Islam, justice is a duty to the oppressed, regardless of their specific creed.3. Community NewsA Major Shift: After 14 years of service, Imam Anas has officially resigned. He will stay on for Friday prayers during a transition period led by Brother Afsheh.The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier (IOST) is a mosque located in the Binghamton area, dedicated to serving the needs of Muslims in the area.
