The Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı) released its weekly Friday sermon (Cuma Hutbesi) for 7 August 2026 under the heading “Kardeşlik” (Brotherhood). The full text, posted online and scheduled for simultaneous reading in mosques across Turkey’s 81 provinces, calls Muslims to strengthen ties of love and solidarity, especially as wars spread across the Islamic world and the region faces heightened tensions.

The sermon’s message has been widely circulated in media outlets alongside collections of festive Friday greetings and illustrated messages that Muslims share on social platforms for the holy day.
