Ismail ibn Musa Menk - "The House has an Owner who will protect it!"

About this lecture

In this lecture, Mufti Ismail Menk draws powerful lessons from Surah Al-Feel and the story of Abraha's failed attempt to destroy the Ka'bah, centering on the famous statement of Abdul Muttalib: "The House has a Lord who will protect it." He reminds believers that Allah is always in supreme control of what He has declared sacred — whether it is the Ka'bah, the Quran, or the Prophet ﷺ — and that no power can ultimately prevail against Him. The lecture also warns against sinning in sacred times and places, and encourages Muslims not to despair, but to trust in Allah's wisdom and timing.
