Ismail ibn Musa Menk (born 27 June ), commonly known as Mufti Menk, is a ZimbabweanIslamic speaker.

He is the Grand Mufti[5][6] of Zimbabwe,[7][8] and head of the fatwa department for the Council of Islamic Scholars of Zimbabwe.

Early life

Menk was born on 27 June in Salisbury, Rhodesia.[9] He undertook his initial studies with his father, memorizing the Quran and learning Arabic.[10] He went to St.

John's College (Harare) for senior school.[11] He studied Jurisprudence and Shariah in Madinah.[12] He specialised post grad in the Hanafi School of thought in Darul Uloom Kantharia in Gujarat, India. Menk has been identified as a Deobandi[11][13][14] as well as a Salafi.[15]

Views

Menk opposes terrorism and has pledged his aid in curbing religious extremism in the Maldives.[16] On 31 March , he urged Muslims to avoid Muslim—Christian violence, arguing that Muslims and Christians are brothers and sisters from one father, the prophet Adam.[17] He blames western media for misleading the world that Muslims are terrorists.[18] According to Gulf News, Menk said that everyone on this earth is a part of a family and has one maker, therefore, no one has the right to force any belief or faith on another.[19]

In September , Mufti Menk visited Trinidad and Tobago during his special visits in the Caribbean.[20] MP Saddam Hosein, while sharing a Facebook post expressed that he is honored with a visit from an international beacon of peace and understanding.[21]

In he published a collection of his sayings as a book titled Motivational Moments[22][23] and in published the second edition, titled Motivational Moments 2.[24]

Controversies

Travel bans

On 31 October , Singapore banned Menk from its borders because it believes he expresses views incompatible with its multicultural laws and policies.

According to the Straits Times, he has asserted that "it is blasphemous for Muslims to greet believers of other faiths during festivals such as Christmas or Diwali". Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs said in a statement that its decision to reject Menk's application for a short-term work pass stemmed from his "segregationist and divisive teachings".[31][32] The Majlisul Ulama Zimbabwe, Menk's own institution, released a statement to express "regret and dismay" regarding the ban.

It said that Menk was an "asset to multi‐cultural, multi‐religious Zimbabwe" and that viewers should "listen to his sermons in full" and not "edited clips of a few minutes" to see the moderate path he has chosen.[33]

In November , the Danish government banned Menk from entering its borders for 2 years.[34][35]

On homosexuality

The Huffington Post reported that Menk denounced the act of homosexuality as "filthy."[36] In , he was due to visit six British universities – Oxford, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Cardiff and Glasgow – but the speaking tour was cancelled after student unions and university officials expressed concern about his views.[37] Liverpool University stated that "it is not the role of the University to censor people’s views, but rather to provide a neutral, open environment for them to be debated and challenged.”

However, Menk has since retracted his statements regarding LGBT and homosexuality completely and states on his website: "on the issue of LGBT, let me clarify the statement I made back in which had me saying, “With all due respect to the animals, they are worse than those animals” was based on a misguided notion.

I no longer believe that to be true. I make a full retraction of that statement".[38]
