Mufti Ismail Menk of Zimbabwe commenced hifz at the tender age of nine years and completed at the age of twelve. He studied Arabic, Urdu and the Hanafi Mazhab from a young age with his father Maulana Musa Menk who graduated in Mazahirul Uloom Shahjahanpur under Hazrat Shaikh Maulana Zakaria (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) in the late 1950’s.
Having studied the Hanafi Mazhab he then went on to study at the Islamic University of Madinah where he completed a degree in Shariah on the four Mazhabs. Thereafter he joined the Iftah (Mufti) department of Darul Uloom Kantaria in Gujarat, India where he graduated under Mufti Ismail Barkodrah at the end of 1999.
Ever since he has been actively engaged in teaching, lecturing country wide, running of Islamic educational institutes for the under privileged as well as the orphans, construction of Masajid and Madaris, relief work and coordinated dawaah country wide.
Currently he is the Imaam of the largest Musjid in Harare.
May Allah reward Mufti Ismail Menk for his humble efforts towards the upliftment of the Deen of Almighty Allah, Ameen. Please visit the Mufti Menk website for audio recordings of his inspirational talks.

Assalamualaikum,
Mufti Ismail Menk
Words in my vocab cannot describe this man, Mufti Menk is trully an inspiration. I had the privledge of seeing him live in laudium in 2010. I also had the honour of greeting him, face-to-face.
The clarity in his voice, the pronunciation of his words, the vocab he uses, the multiple languages he speaks so fluently, his lectures are an absolute joy to listen to, the jokes in the lectures that makes you smile, think and ponder of things outside-the-box, he is trully a gift to humanity from Allah (S.W.T).
May Allah be happy wth him always and give him the reward he trully deserves.
Jazakallah

Brother Ismail, as you know Mufti Ismail so well, do you also know his brother Maulana Shabir? I have attended some of his talks in the uk but have not found anything else online relating to him.

I have a son who is a Hifz student.We as parents are so proud of him as we think he is excelling in the Hifz class.Over this weekend we visited some of our friends just to find out that our Quarie who is doing a fantastic job with the Hifz boys is using his hands on them.We have noticed that our son is sort of withdrawn but in the mean time he gets a good beating from his ustaad a leats twice a week.Please give some sort of advise as to how best we can approach this ustaad.
We have consider reporting this matter to the police,however this will not assist my son to become a hafiz.
We have approached other parents and they are reluctant to take this matter further.
Jazakallah
