			You're listening to the productive Muslim podcast season three, Episode 14
		

			AsSalam alaikum. And welcome to day 14 of the hut detox challenge not to extend Tana Milan, we are
almost halfway through this blessed month. Now for the day your article is on Ico mania, are you
obsessed with social media? Now, in today's day and age, social media is everywhere, whether you're
using Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, it doesn't matter. And many of us have developed soft addictions
to social media, we are constantly checking our posts, how many likes did we get? How popular are
things. And we've reached the point where we upload most of our daily life onto social media, what
we wear, what we cook, where we go to eat, and it's endless. And according to the infinite mobile
		

			intelligence, an average of 4.7 hours a day is spent on our smartphones. And that leads you to ask
yourself with the amount of time that we spend on our smartphone, how much of it is actually
actually productive, and how much of it is actually a waste of time. And in this, there's a very,
very beautiful Hadith that I really want you guys to reflect on. And it's an hour we had it that
says, part of the perfection of one's Islam is leaving that which does not concern him, which is the
exact opposite of what social media does. Social media gets us involved in people's lives who we
should have no attachment to. And one of the dangerous parts of social media is the fact that it can
		

			also portray a life of people that they don't actually have. And the reason that I bring this up,
because not only is it mentioned in the article, but I remember when I did an admin job on calling
up people once they had graduated from university to see if they had gotten employment or not. One
lady that I was talking to was talking about how she was doing modeling on in Thailand. And she said
that everything that you see on this Instagram majority of it is a lie. She said she had to take so
many photos of her smiling and looking happy and really enjoying herself. And she told me that it
was probably the worst holiday of her life. But if a person has social media, and we want to get
		

			late, we have to make it look like we have the best life possible. And
		

			I have friends who've done it, they've come to me and they've complained, look at this person's
life. Look at Instagram photos, don't you think she has the best life ever? Don't you wish you could
be like her. But people only choose to put the good side online, they will not show you the bad side
to themselves. So after reading that article, and finding a way to reflect and detach from social
media, your two tasks for the day one is you're going to take half an hour to read. If you have not
already incorporated reading books into your routine, as per the article from last week, you're
going to do it tonight, you can choose any book that you want, but you're going to spend half an
		

			hour with your nose in a book. And then your last task of the day, which we are going to do together
is your half day worksheet. So if you are following through with this plan, by this point, you would
have read more than a gist of the Quran, you will have done it to charity, you will have built
closer ties with friends and family and spent more time and a better. But we're not looking here for
you to do like a 360 degree turn. Now. We are looking for you to immerse your heart in a better so
that it becomes easier for you to let go of bad habits. So now you have five questions to answer.
One, what have been the most enjoyable tasks in this hot detox?
		

			You guys can comment below. I'm trying to think what would I say is has been the most enjoyable task
in this heart detox. I think that I would have to say that so far. It would have been the research,
the research that we had to do into this habit and the research that we had to do into the mothers
of the believers. And the reason that I say this is just because it's given me it's forced me to
research my Deen and try to become closer to Allah. By knowing what is Islam about by knowing what
are the sacrifices that prophets had to make, and by finding a way to make people from Islamic
history relevant to my life today. And then question two, what has been the most challenging task in
		

			this heart detox?
		

			I'm inclined to say to Malaysia but then I wouldn't because during Ramadan, it's quite an easy time
to stay up late during the night so you don't feel like you're sacrificing a lot of sleep. But maybe
one of the hardest tasks that I had to do was
		

			Make Up For someone who had had me. And question three is,
		

			during what time of the day do you usually do your quote and reading? My current reading takes place
during leisure time. So I make sure I stay up, I have my support, I pray aphasia, and then I do my
two pages, I've got an reading, and I go to sleep
		

			from the profit that you researched on day 11 what motivation Can you draw to be productive? So my
profit that I researched was the profit use of Valley So then, and but my inspiration or motivation
came from his father jacobellis in it. So jacoba alayhis salaam suffered a lot, he lost one of his
favorite most beloved sons, and he knew that it was his other sons who were the cause of it. But
even after going through such painful hardship, he or he said, someone gem Ilan, he said beautiful
patience. And because of this, it's, it's a reminder to us that you know, we are not experiencing
the same hardship. They are. Elisa Lam must have experienced the highs that he had. But even when he
		

			was going through that, he didn't despair. He just said, let me have patience. And then the last
question, why are you taking part in this high challenge?
		

			I am taking part in this high challenge because I personally have a few soft addictions that I need
to force myself to let go of and I think this is definitely the opportunity for me to do so. So
these are my answers. I want you to tell me what your answers are, and inshallah we can work through
them together. And then at the end of this challenge, we can assess whether we have reached them or
not. Thank you very much for listening and I will be with you guys tomorrow in sha Allah Santa
