Mufti Menk Podcast

We face hardships, yet we take precautions, using the capacity Allah has given us. He knows the outcome, past, present, and future—even what will never happen and how it would have unfolded.

Saying “we believe” isn’t enough—Allah tests us to reveal our sincerity. Will we embrace our fitra and fulfill our purpose, or will we neglect the truth we were created to recognize?

But are you truly benefiting?You’re in the holiest city on Earth—but are you growing spiritually, or just caught in routine?This lecture explores:• How to really benefit from being in Makkah• The danger of rituals without meaning• How Tawheed protects you from Shirk and Bid’ah• The value of time in a city where every second counts• Whether you’ll leave Makkah spiritually transformed—or unchangedMaximize the blessing. Don’t waste the opportunity.

Trusting Allah doesn’t mean neglecting safety. Just as we tie our camels, we must take precautions. Are we truly cautious, or are we using fate as an excuse for carelessness?

Forcing marriage on children based on past promises is not Islam. Every individual has the right to choose their spouse. Are we upholding their rights or controlling their future?

Life is a series of tests—loss, hardship, and uncertainty. Are we preparing to return to Allah by facing them with patience and steadfastness?

A greeting in Islam is a prayer, not just words. Do we return greetings with sincerity, or do personal feelings get in the way? Allah records every response—are we mindful of that?

Judging others hastily creates division. Allah instructs us to verify before assuming. Are we giving others the benefit of the doubt, or are we unfairly labeling them?
