Ismail ibn Musa Menk - Are you suffering?

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture delivered in Malaysia, Mufti Ismail Menk explores the purpose of human life, the nature of trials and hardships, and how a believer should respond to suffering with hope, patience, and gratitude. Drawing on Quranic verses and Hadith, he explains that tests are not signs of Allah's anger but often signs of His love, and that closeness to Allah — through Salah, remembrance, and sincere repentance — is the key to navigating every difficulty in life.
