Ismail ibn Musa Menk - Don't Be Trapped

About this lecture

In this lecture, Mufti Ismail Menk explores the many ways Shaitan traps believers — from distracting them from Allah entirely, to causing them to neglect or doubt their prayers, to making them harm others and squander their good deeds. The lecture builds to a powerful conclusion on the gravest trap of all: losing hope in the mercy of Allah, which Mufti Menk argues is a greater sin than the sins that drove a person to despair in the first place. Grounded in Quranic verses and Hadith, this talk is a heartfelt reminder that Allah's mercy and forgiveness are always available to the sincere believer who keeps trying.
