About this lecture

In this khutbah, Mufti Ismail Menk delivers a comprehensive explanation of taqwa (God-consciousness), drawing on the definition of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and Quranic verses to show how it governs every aspect of a Muslim's life. He emphasises that true success lies not in wealth or status, but in earning Allah's pleasure through obedience, good character, and sincere repentance. The lecture also covers the dangers of materialism and superstition, the necessity of Islamic knowledge, and the importance of remembering death as a path to greater consciousness of Allah.
