Ismail ibn Musa Menk - Building Bridges (Uganda)

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture delivered to tens of thousands in Uganda, Mufti Ismail Menk presents the Islamic case for peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, and bridge-building between people of all faiths, races, and backgrounds. Drawing on Quranic verses, Prophetic hadith, and real-world examples, he challenges both Muslims and non-Muslims to reject hatred, combat extremism through good character, and recognise their shared humanity as children of Adam and Hawwa. The lecture covers topics ranging from the rights of neighbours and the importance of honest work, to the duty of da'wah through conduct, and the imperative to preserve peace in diverse nations like Uganda.
