Ismail ibn Musa Menk - Speaking to the Pharaoh: Communication Skills

About this lecture

In this powerful lecture, Mufti Ismail Menk uses the Quranic story of Prophet Musa being sent to the Pharaoh as a springboard for a timely lesson on communication, character, and the weight of our words. He reminds us that if Allah instructed the best of men to speak gently to the worst of men, none of us have an excuse to be harsh, abusive, or careless in our speech — especially with those closest to us. Key takeaways include the Islamic importance of apologizing, speaking kindly in marriage, guarding one's tongue to protect good deeds, and aiming high in our aspirations for the Hereafter.
