Ismail ibn Musa Menk - The Game of Life

About this lecture

In this lecture delivered in Johannesburg in January 2020, Mufti Ismail Menk uses the analogy of a game to explain that just as every game has rules set by its creator, Allah — as our Creator — has the right to set the rules by which we live. He covers key life themes including the purpose of our existence, the temporary nature of worldly wealth, the importance of repentance, family relationships and letting go of control, and the need to prepare for the Hereafter by simplifying one's life and fulfilling the rights of others. The lecture is warm, conversational, and filled with practical reminders drawn from everyday South African life.
