Content The document is a speech made by Sëriñ Abdul Ahad Mbakke on the day of Korite 1971 or 1972. It serves as an example of the kind of speech or sermon that might be given to faithful Muslims in celebration of Korite, or ʿĪd  al-Fitr, and discusses issues of importance to the community. The speech discusses the issue of using one’s wealth to address the problems one encounters. Shaykh Abdul Ahad specifically refers to both material wealth and spiritual wealth, or as he defines, patience, forbearance and endurance. He indicates that those who have been granted great patience should expect God to test it, and to use it to address the problems they encounter in their community. Those who trust in God’s will and persevere through the issues they encounter, the Shaykh concludes, will find great rewards in this life and the next.
