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.
