Death & Afterlife Dunya & Akhirah Contentment Gratitude Prayer Patience Tawbah Purification of the Soul

About this lecture

In this lecture, Mufti Ismail Menk challenges us to reconsider what truly makes us happy, dismantling the illusion that wealth, status, and material possessions bring lasting contentment. Drawing on Quranic verses and the example of the Prophet ﷺ, he argues that real happiness lies in a strong connection with Allah — through prayer, gratitude, obedience, and trust in His decree. The talk is a powerful reminder to prioritise the Akhirah, embrace hardship as a gift, and never lose hope in Allah's mercy.
