Lecture - Being Steadfast on the Path | ...

Mufti Ismail Menk
About this episode

You Ask for It Daily in Salah… But Do You Even Know What It Is?


We beg for the Straight Path in every prayer—but are we truly walking it?


This Lecture explores:

• What Istiqamah really means (and why it shook the Prophet ﷺ)

• The core formula: “Believe in Allah, then stay firm”—but how?

• Hidden blockers: Judging others, gossip, and fearing opinions

• Tools to stay steady: Tawbah, Dhikr, Taqwa—and accepting correction

• Hope, always: How to come back even after falling off the path


Are you walking the path—or just repeating the dua? Listen and find out.
