Who Is Mufti Menk?
Mufti Ismail Menk is one of the most popular Islamic scholars in the world today.
Born and raised in Zimbabwe, he studied in Madinah and has since become a leading voice in spreading Islamic knowledge through his lectures, books, and social media presence.
His down-to-earth style, practical advice, and humour make him especially appealing to young people. Whether he’s giving life lessons, discussing serious Islamic topics, or throwing in a joke, Mufti Menk has a way of keeping his audience engaged.
Mufti Menk’s Funniest Moments
While Mufti Menk is best known for his knowledge and wisdom, his ability to make people laugh is what sets him apart. Here are some of his funniest moments that have gone viral:
“Mo Salah – 6 Salahs!”
In one of his classic jokes, Mufti humorously talks about how some people confuse the name of the famous footballer Mo Salah (see our Muslims to Follow for him) with the five daily prayers.
He jokes about people thinking there are now six Salahs instead of five! The sixth being Mohammed.
However, the crowd did not seem to catch on at first. Perhaps because he uses the footballer’s full name ‘Mohammed Salah’ instead of the commonly known ‘Mo Salah’.
Either way. It’s a perfect example of his ability to mix humour with Islamic reminders.
“Go to the Jeem!”
Mufti once shared a story about the Arabic alphabet, leading to a hilarious moment where he joked about someone going to the ‘Jeem’ instead of the ‘gym.’ His playful way of talking makes learning both fun and memorable.
“You’re Hot”
Mufti Menk makes a joke about the term ‘hot’ and it has a double meaning with the fire of Jahannam getting closer.
“Ice Cream & Jannah”
In one of his talks, he humorously compares people’s desire for ice cream to the desire for Jannah, making a light but meaningful point about how we should prioritize our efforts for the Hereafter.
“Sheikh Google”
In a funny moment, Mufti jokes about people relying on Google for Islamic rulings instead of seeking proper knowledge from scholars. His witty take on this issue is a great reminder to learn Islam from reliable sources.
“Bald Cameraman”
One of his funniest moments was when he jokingly called out his cameraman for being bald, making the audience laugh while also showing his lighthearted personality.
It’s moments like these that make his talks feel natural and engaging.
“Wife is the Law”
Mufti Menk refers to a wife as being the law. The timing and build up to this one was impeccable.
