Suhaib Webb – The Evil Eye & Influencers

			The last, and I wanna give room for
		

			more. There's others, but I wanna give room,
		

			especially to interact with you and answer your
		

			questions, which I enjoy the most,
		

			is to really be discreet about
		

			the blessings and the good that we do.
		

			The prophet mentioned this in a hadith read
		

			about Imam Atavarani,
		

			you know, that you should not just like
		

			expose all the blessings that you have. Although
		

			the Quran says,
		

			you should talk about the blessings of Allah,
		

			all this means in moderation.
		

			That gets to the point of the question
		

			I'm getting from a lot of our influencers.
		

			And just let me say this, I know
		

			that you guys get a lot of beef
		

			from people,
		

			but I'm very proud to see so many
		

			Muslims out there using their social media in
		

			ways that are really impacting people's life in
		

			a positive way and I pray that Allah
		

			continue to bless you InshaAllah and use you
		

			But there's a few things you wanna think
		

			about in general. Number 1 is
		

			trust that Allah puts you in that Maqam.
		

			Your fame, your success, the attention that you're
		

			getting, the likes,
		

			all that is from Allah. It's not from
		

			you as Allah says to the prophet.
		

			So you wanna appreciate the blessing of what
		

			Allah has given you. That's the second point
		

			is then don't use that blessing for disobedience.
		

			Use it for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Use
		

			it for good. Use it to help people.
		

			And the third is whenever you post things
		

			or put things online, make sure your intention
		

			is right and that
		

			you
		

			say
		

			that
		

			you invoke Allah just like Soleiman when he
		

			sent a letter to
		

			Bilqis. That not only applies to influencers, that
		

			applies to all of us
		

			that we want to remember Allah as
		

			the first definition I gave of
		

			the inability to seek Allah's blessing because it
		

			is possible to make ayn on ourselves. And
		

			I will answer those questions inshallah when they
		

			come. But I hope this gives you kind
		

			of like a good background on the issue.
		

			And I'm happy to take any questions inshallah
		

			and try to engage with you as much
		

			as I can. Barak Allah feekum. Tomorrow we're
		

			gonna talk about envy, insha Allahu ta'ala.
