Ismail ibn Musa Menk - Those Who Depend on Allah

About this lecture

In this lecture, Mufti Ismail Menk explores the concept of tawakkul — true reliance on Allah — from birth to death, explaining what it means to genuinely trust in Allah's provision, mercy, and promises. He distinguishes between authentic reliance and passive laziness, emphasises the difference between what we need and what we want, and reassures believers that Allah's promise of forgiveness and Jannah is as real as any contract signed with a fellow human. Drawing on Quranic verses, Hadith, and vivid real-life analogies, Mufti Menk calls his audience to replace worry and despondency with conviction, gratitude, and hope in Allah's boundless mercy.
