About this lecture

In this lecture delivered in Kampala, Uganda, Mufti Ismail Menk explores what it truly means to be a worshipper of Allah, the Most Merciful (*Ibadurrahman*), drawing on the qualities described in the closing verses of Surah Al-Furqan. He walks through eight key characteristics — including humility, responding to ignorance with peace, night worship, moderation in spending, avoiding shirk and immorality, productive use of time, and caring for one's family — and explains how each one draws a believer closer to the mercy of Allah. The lecture also powerfully emphasises the ever-open door of repentance and the transformative nature of Allah's forgiveness.
