Make sure that your use of social media

00:00:03--> 00:00:04

is beneficial

00:00:04--> 00:00:08

because many times people are flicking social media,

00:00:08--> 00:00:09

be it TikTok as

00:00:10--> 00:00:12

what is, you know, the the common one

00:00:12--> 00:00:15

today, or Instagram, YouTube, whatever it may be.

00:00:15--> 00:00:17

As we're flicking, we see things.

00:00:17--> 00:00:19

Sometimes we see good things and there are

00:00:19--> 00:00:21

also a lot of bad things.

00:00:21--> 00:00:22

Unfortunately,

00:00:22--> 00:00:24

the bad things when we keep seeing them

00:00:24--> 00:00:28

and we pause at them, the algorithm begins

00:00:28--> 00:00:30

to think that that's what you enjoy.

00:00:30--> 00:00:32

So it begins to show you more of

00:00:32--> 00:00:34

that and less of the one that's beneficial.

00:00:35--> 00:00:37

So you need to make sure you interact

00:00:37--> 00:00:39

with what is beneficial online.

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

And spend time with it so that the

00:00:42--> 00:00:46

algorithm understands that you're a person who's more

00:00:46--> 00:00:48

interested in that which is of this kind

00:00:49--> 00:00:50

rather than that.

00:00:51--> 00:00:53

And this is a very important piece of

00:00:53--> 00:00:53

advice because

00:00:54--> 00:00:57

that plays a big role in shaping what

00:00:57--> 00:00:59

you do, how you think, and what you

00:00:59--> 00:01:02

end up doing physically outside

00:01:02--> 00:01:04

cause you've been watching it. You see it

00:01:04--> 00:01:05

time and again the same thing. You know

00:01:05--> 00:01:09

what beats me? Wallahi, sometimes I feel so

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

sad

00:01:10--> 00:01:13

when I know of people who've memorized the

00:01:13--> 00:01:14

words of

00:01:15--> 00:01:18

others who have come about with all sorts

00:01:18--> 00:01:20

of weird lyrics and songs and they know

00:01:20--> 00:01:23

the words and the tunes and every single

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

thing. But they don't know Surat Al Kahf.

00:01:26--> 00:01:27

They don't know Surat Yaseen.

00:01:28--> 00:01:29

You don't know

00:01:31--> 00:01:32

But you know

00:01:33--> 00:01:35

50 different songs of the people of the

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

earth. The meanings of which

00:01:37--> 00:01:40

are many a times that which is unacceptable.

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

You and I know what are they singing

00:01:43--> 00:01:45

about. Today's words and lyrics

00:01:46--> 00:01:48

as far as I was told

00:01:49--> 00:01:50

are really

00:01:51--> 00:01:53

of a level that even those who are

00:01:53--> 00:01:55

not Muslim but belong to other faiths and

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

are serious about their faith would tell you

00:01:57--> 00:02:00

that these words are really really disturbing.

00:02:00--> 00:02:02

It's something that we shouldn't be listening to.

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

That's what they will tell you. So imagine

00:02:04--> 00:02:06

if you're a Muslim and the Muslim is

00:02:06--> 00:02:07

supposed to be even stricter

00:02:07--> 00:02:10

and more disciplined in that regard. So you

00:02:10--> 00:02:13

need to watch your use of social media

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

and you need to improve it and make

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

sure not only do you put up

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

content that is beneficial for you and others,

00:02:22--> 00:02:25

for you as well.

00:02:22--> 00:02:25

for you as well.
