A Brisbane imam has urged Muslims take decisive action in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, describing the perpetrators of the atrocity as "two monsters from our faith".

Giving a sermon at Holland Park Mosque, Uzair Akbar urged his fellow Muslims to root out extremism within their communities.

"May it be Muslim or non Muslim, Allah Almighty eradicate. We cannot allow compromise on this topic because it is detrimental to the image of Islam," he told the congregation.

"If you know anyone in your halaqa (religious circle) that has these sentiments, please speak to him, please speak to her," he urged the congregation.
