Win the Battle Against Temptation

About this lecture

In this engaging lecture delivered to Muslim university students in the UK, Mufti Ismail Menk tackles the very real temptations of student life — from peer pressure, relationships, and nightlife to laziness, gossip, and loss of identity — with honesty, humour, and compassion. Drawing on Quranic verses and hadith, he reminds his audience that Allah's mercy is always available through sincere repentance, that difficulty is often a sign of Allah's love, and that the key to resisting temptation lies in good company, a strong connection with the Creator, and long-term thinking about this life and the next.
