Gratitude Unlocks Peace | The Forgotten Key to Happiness | Mufti Menk Latest

In today’s world, people chase happiness in wealth, relationships, and success—yet true peace continues to escape them. Why? Because we have forgotten one of the most powerful keys Allah has given us: Gratitude (Shukr).

Islam teaches us that gratitude transforms hearts, brings barakah (blessings), and unlocks inner peace. The Qur’an reminds us:
📖 “If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor].” (Qur’an, Surah Ibrahim 14:7)

In this lecture, we uncover how gratitude can change your outlook on life, ease your struggles, and draw you closer to Allah. Gratitude is not just saying Alhamdulillah with the tongue—it is a lifestyle that heals sadness, replaces stress with contentment, and strengthens your faith.
