You Don’t Know Where You’ll End Up — That’s the Point | Mufti Menk

Описание: In this powerful and hope-filled reminder, Mufti Menk opens by greeting the audience in Belfast — his first visit to Ireland — and begins with a light-hearted moment before transitioning into one of the most serious realities of faith: your final destination is known to Allah, but hidden from you.

And that is the mercy.

Mufti Menk addresses a common question:
“If Allah already knows where we’ll end up, what’s the point?”

The answer is profound: you don’t know.
And because you don’t know, you must keep striving — repenting, praying, improving, and hoping.

A central theme of the talk is Allah’s mercy. Allah looks for reasons to admit people into Jannah. Small deeds done sincerely can become massive — feeding an animal, a kind word, a single prostration. Allah forgives endlessly when a servant repents sincerely.

The speaker explains the Mizān (Scale) on the Day of Judgment:
• Every deed, even an atom’s weight, will be shown
• Good deeds are weighed against bad deeds
• Tawbah can erase sins
• Sincere repentance and real change can even turn past sins into good deeds

This is not a threat — it is a gift. It means hope always remains.

Mufti Menk emphasizes good character and careful speech:
• Do not insult, belittle, gossip, or slander
• Do not drive people away from Islam — especially those trying to practice
• Words can become heavy burdens on the scale

For sins against people, forgiveness requires making amends — returning rights, apologizing — while also encouraging believers to forgive others with a “big heart,” like Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه), without being naïve or repeatedly harmed.

Hope-filled examples are given:
• A man saved by a single sincere testimony of faith (the “card” hadith)
• Pharaoh’s magicians reaching high rank through one sincere sujood

The message is clear:
You never know which small deed will tip the scale.

The talk ends with a warning against false hope — deliberately sinning while assuming repentance can come later — and reminds that all mercy on Earth is only a tiny portion of Allah’s mercy.

The speaker closes with a powerful duʿā’:
Ask Allah for entry into Jannah without reckoning — purely by His mercy.
