About this lecture

In this powerful Friday address delivered on the day of the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings, Mufti Ismail Menk condemns the terrorist attack in New Zealand, calls for solidarity with the victims, and urges Muslims and non-Muslims alike to reject hatred, violence, and supremacist ideology. Drawing on Quranic verses and real-world examples, he reminds listeners that all human lives are sacred, that disagreement must be handled with wisdom and respect, and that healing can only come through love, understanding, and forgiveness — not retaliation.
