About this lecture

In this lecture delivered as part of the online "Light Upon Light" conference, Mufti Ismail Menk reflects on the unique nature of a Ramadan observed under COVID-19 lockdown, urging believers to see it as a spiritual opportunity rather than a hardship. Drawing on verses from Surah Al-Layl, he encourages generosity, strengthening one's relationship with Allah, responsible use of technology, and making the most of extra time at home through Quran recitation, family worship, and good deeds. He cautions against wasting the blessed month on sinful or futile online activity and reminds listeners that hope, mercy, and the full blessings of Ramadan remain available to all.
