Wael Ibrahim – Dear Famous Muslim People – Attention please

Dear famous Muslim people,

This is a message to the people who

Allah

has blessed with fame and influence. It's a

gentle reminder that fame is a gift from

and also a very big test. May Allah

protect us all. But Allah

chose you and made you a famous person

for a reason. It's an opportunity for you

to reach and inspire

countless people around the globe. So always

remind yourself of your purpose,

why you're doing what you're doing. Dear famous

Muslim people, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has given

you this platform

not to simply

entertain and be admired, but rather to serve

a higher purpose. Your influence is a tool

for dawah to invite people to Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala and to his religion. A means

to spread goodness and the teachings of Islam,

the Quran, and the sunnah of our beloved

prophet sallallahu

alaihi wa sallam to remember that fame is

not simply a business making machine. While it's

perfectly fine to earn your living

through these talents

and activities that you're involved in. It's crucial

for everyone out there who Allah Subhanahu Wa

Ta'ala has blessed with fame to balance what

they do with acts of service purely for

the sake of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Dear

famous Muslim people, as you set a price

tag on your shows, your travels, and your

performances,

remember also to dedicate time for free events

and appearances.

These acts of service and generosity

will always remind you of why you started

your mission in the first place. Dua is

our duty, not merely a paid job. Charging

for what you do is fine, but don't

exaggerate and overburden

people with your prices. Because, wallahi, my brothers,

my sisters in Islam, this could spoil your

intentions. So let your heart always guide you

in serving Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and also

your community. Dear

famous Muslim people, volunteers

are your brothers and your sisters in Islam.

They are not your servants. So treat them

with respect, kindness, and love. They are not

there to serve your every whim at will,

but rather they are there to serve the

deen of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. The same

thing that you came for. Their dedication for

dawah is a testament to the faith. So

they deserve your gratitude and your respect. Dear

famous

Muslim people, when you leave your home and

your family members for your mission, stay focused.

No matter how glamorous

the invitation might look like, don't let it

divert your attention from your main intention. Why

you traveled and why you have accepted this

invitation in the 1st place. Sometimes you'll be

invited by leaders of states and many other

times, small organizations

will be also hoping that you will show

up and accept the invitation.

So accept both with humility and never expect

the same treatment from each. Dear

famous

Muslim people, never let the idea of fame

occupy your heart and mind. Thinking always of

yourself as a famous person

might destroy your good deeds. Has

a beautiful statement where he said

Allah

loves his servants who are pure, pure hearted

and have Taqwa, God consciousness within them. And

also he loves the hidden servant. The same

acts of goodness

are performed by him without being noticed by

anyone. And I'm not saying that just because

you're under the spot your acts are being

spoiled. What I'm saying is that fame should

never define you, your characters, or your actions.

Dear famous Muslim people, do not ever compete

with others who are also likewise working in

in the field of doubt. Avoid backbiting,

gossiping, and slandering them, and instead

promote

each other. Pray for one another. Love each

other genuinely for the sake of Allah Subhanahu

Wa Ta'ala. Advise

each other. Remember, we're 1 umrah and our

string will always lie in our unity. So,

dear

famous Muslim people, let us use our influence

to make a positive impact on others, to

inspire them, and to bring them closer to

Allah

Fame is gonna go away. And what will

remain behind is your legacy. Your legacy of

good deeds will certainly last forever. As for

the foam of the sea, Allah

said, it will vanish. It will go away.

But as of that which benefits people,

it will remain on earth. It will benefit

people for years and generations to come. So

dear

famous Muslim people, may Allah

guide us all. May Allah

protect us from nifaq

and riya and suaal akhlaq. May Allah protect

us from hypocrisy and showing off and ill

manners. And may He guide us to use

and utilize our gifts, our fame, our influence,

purely for His sake and wisely, so that

we may not fall into error. Dear

famous Muslim people, I love you for the

sake of Allah. Continue what you're doing and

may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala always grant you

success in this dunya and the next. Ameen,

Ameen, Ameen.

Assalamu alaikum.
