💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

🗒️ Some red flags or warning signs that a "social media influencer" or evidently popular female user on a social networking site isn't the most ideal person to follow online nor feel inspired by, even if they claim to be "Sunni", "Salafi" or "Athari" etc.
1] They frequently upload selfies and group photos, brazenly showcasing their beauty and flashy adornments for all viewers to eye on.
2] Indirectly they endorse excessive consumerism and materialism by regularly uploading pictures of the gourmet meals and unreasonably expensive beverages they enjoy outdoors, as though they're attempting to broadcast how much they can afford and how they seem to find this dunya strangely "appealing".
3] Apparently they're outspoken and readily enthusiastic about delivering lectures in front of both males and females, while persistently voicing out their opinions regarding a wide variety of topics, without having attended actual/formal Islamic education or Arabic language classes in the past.
4] They appear to be okay with listening to music and unnecessarily mingling with male non-mahrams. Whether they're married or single, you oftentimes notice their overly "approachable" / "friendly" comments on a lot of the posts of some brothers in Islam, not necessarily to correct an error nor to ask an important question but usually communicating in a playful manner as though they are "close friends".
AstaghfurAllah Al-'Atheem.
5] They're one of those females who make it obvious that they insecurely oppose or despise polygyny, encouraging many Muslim wives to instantly consider regrettable divorce instead of striving to have patience for Allah's sake, putting sincere effort to understand one's spouse and trying to patiently see the virtues in how Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala has allowed capable and responsible Muslim men to remarry (and be married to up to four legal wives).
The kind of content which you permit yourself to absorb on a regular basis can in multiple ways impact your values and beliefs.
As much as possible, for Allah's sake, distance yourself from anybody whose actions and statements have potential to negatively affect your 'Aqeedah or cause your faith Imaan to decrease.

📖 Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "I have left you with two matters which will never lead you astray, as long as you hold on to them: The Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet (Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam)."

📖 Abu Najeeh Al-’Irbaad ibn Saariyah (RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: The Messenger of Allah SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam gave us a sermon by which our hearts were filled with fear and tears came to our eyes. So we said, “O Messenger of Allah! It is as though this is a farewell sermon, so advise us.” He (SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, “I advise you to have Taqwa (fear) of Allah, and to listen and obey [your leader], even if a slave were to become your ameer (someone authorized to lead). Verily he among you who lives long will see great controversy, so you must stick to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the Khulafaa ar-Raashideen (the rightly guided caliphs), those who guide to the right way. Cling to it (the Sunnah) stubbornly [literally: with your molar teeth]. Beware of newly invented matters [in the religion], for verily every bid'ah (innovation) is misguidance.”
[Abu Dawud]
It was related by At-Tirmidhi, who said that it was a good and sound hadeeth.
Hadith 28
40 Hadith An-Nawawi
📖 Abdullah Ibn Amr RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "What comes over my nation will surely be what came over the children of Israel, step by step until if one of them fornicated with his mother, one from my nation would do the same. Verily, the children of Israel split into seventy-two sects and my nation will split into seventy-three sects. All of them will be in Hellfire except for one sect." They said, “Who are they, O Messenger of Allah?” The Prophet SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Those who follow my way and my companions."
