Mufti Ismail Musa Menk was born in Harare, Zimbabwe, and is perhaps best known for his engagements as a guest speaker in South Africa each Ramadan. He was tutored by his father, Mufti Musa Menk, who is a well-known scholar and da’ee (caller to Islam).He completed his hifz and recitation courses at an early age and learnt the Arabic and Urdu languages whilst studying Shariah under his father. At the same time, he attended an Academic College in Harare where he completed his secondary secular education. He then attained a degree in Shariah from the University of Madinah and later specialised in Iftaa at Darul Uloom Kantharia in Gujarat. Mufti Menk is a broad minded, popular motivational speaker who travels widely on speaking engagements, while still teaching in Harare and serving the Muslim communities of Zimbabwe as an imam and member of Zimbabwe’s Majlisul Ulama. He also contributes towards the Islamic content of various media networks,and allows his lectures to be copied and distributed free of charge – as long as the core of its content is not edited. He is also an experienced social worker and counsellor; and enjoys spending time with the underprivileged.
