Note: Being Famous Online Or Having Lots Of Supporters Does Not Always Mean Allah Loves Them

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

The message "Being "famous vloggers" & "influencers" w/ many fans isn't proof that Allah loves them. shaytan is popular & worse of all servants." emphasizes that having fame, followers, and influence is not necessarily a sign of Allah’s love or favor. It warns against equating worldly popularity with divine approval, as even the worst of beings—shaytan (satan)—has significant influence and countless followers. Popularity does not guarantee righteousness or nearness to Allah the Almighty.

Core Meanings in 33 Sentences:

Many people assume that having a large audience means someone is blessed or favored by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

However, fame and influence can be a test rather than a reward.

shaytan is widely known and has led billions of people astray.

Despite his popularity, he is the worst of all created beings and the most despised servant of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

Likewise, many influencers and vloggers may be admired by millions but engage in sinful or harmful behavior.

A large following does not reflect moral superiority or divine favor.

Some influencers spread materialism, vanity, and immoral values.

Having a lot of wealth, fans, or status does not mean someone is truly successful in the sight of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

Real success is attaining Allah’s pleasure, not human admiration.

A person with no or few followers but sincere worship is better than an influencer leading others astray.

The world often values entertainment over righteousness.

Many people follow influencers who promote haram activities.

shaytan misleads countless individuals and his fate is Hell jahannam.

Likewise, influencers who mislead others may be accountable on the Day of Judgment.

True guidance comes from Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala, not from social media trends.

Some famous individuals may use their platform for good.

Others may use it for deception, pride, or corruption.

Having many fans can feed arrogance and distance one from humility.

Popularity can sometimes be a tool of fitnah (trial).

People who seek fame for worldly gain may lose in the Hereafter.

Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala tests His servants with wealth, beauty, and status.

Just because something is popular does not mean it is right or worth following and admiring.

The majority can be misguided.

In the Noble Qur'an there are some warnings against blindly following the crowd.

The noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam was not the most followed person in his time, yet he was the most beloved to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

Those who call to good may have fewer followers than those who promote falsehood.

Influencers should be mindful of the responsibility that comes with their reach.

They will be questioned about how they used their influence.

Even religious influencers should guard their intentions.

Seeking Allah’s pleasure should be the priority, not seeking validation from people.

Followers can be a blessing or a curse depending on how they are influenced.

True honor comes from Allah the Most Wise, not from social media metrics.

One’s status in the Hereafter matters far more than their status online.

7 Examples for Clarification:

A vlogger posts extravagant lifestyle content, promoting materialism and greed—millions admire them, but this does not mean Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala loves them.

A famous influencer encourages sinful behavior like immodesty and haram relationships—many follow them, yet they are spreading what displeases Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

A social media star mocks religious people and gains millions of supporters—despite their popularity, their actions distance them from Allah’s Mercy.

A wealthy YouTuber flaunts luxury cars and encourages envy—having riches and lots of followers or subscribers does not mean they are loved by Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

A celebrity influencer promotes arrogance and self-obsession—despite their fans, they may be failing in their spiritual journey.

A lesser-known scholar teaches Islam sincerely—though they have fewer followers, their sincerity makes them more beloved to Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

The noble Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam sometimes faced opposition yet he was and is the most beloved servant of Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

In summary, fame is not proof of righteousness, and true success is measured by Allah’s standards, not by human admiration.

Note: Some Reminders From An INTJ Muslimah (78)

Tuesday, March 4, 2025

Note: As Much As Possible Avoid Being Silly And Asking Silly Questions

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

11 Reasons Why Some Muslims Believe Asking Nonsensical Questions Shows a Lack of Good Etiquette

Wasting Time – Islam encourages using time wisely, and pointless questions distract from more beneficial discussions.

Lack of Adab (Manners) – Knowingly asking unnecessary or ridiculous questions can show a lack of respect for the teacher or scholar.

Mockery of Knowledge – Some questions may seem like they are mocking Islamic rulings or the seriousness of religious learning.

Leading to Confusion – Unnecessary debates and hypothetical questions can lead to confusion rather than clarity.

Islam Encourages Beneficial Knowledge – The noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam ﷺ discouraged excessive questioning (asking absolutely unnecessary questions related to religious duties and obligations) that serves no purpose.

Possible Disrespect to Allah and Islam – Asking inappropriate or unnecessary questions can sometimes border on irreverence.

Following the Ways of Past Nations – Some past nations (e.g., bani Israel) were condemned for excessive questioning that complicated simple commands.

Avoiding Arrogance – Some people ask unnecessary questions just to show off their eloquence or challenge authority.

Preventing Fitnah (Trials & Discord) – Questions that stir unnecessary controversies can divide the Muslim community.

Avoiding Condemnable / Blameworthy Curiosity – Islam warns against prying into matters that do not concern a person at all.

Simplicity in Religion – Islam is meant to be simple; overcomplicating matters with extreme questions makes it burdensome.

11 Examples of Silly Questions to Avoid Due to Their Ridiculousness

“If I pray Salah upside down, will it still count?”

“If someone eats pork by accident, will they turn into a pig?”

“What is the exact number of angels that fit inside a Masjid?”

“If I make wudu in the ocean, will I become extra pure?”

“Is drinking water in one sip better than in three sips?” (while overlooking the merits or virtues of following the beautiful Sunnah of the noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam).

11 Questions We Can Often Ask Since They're Not Silly Queries

“What are the conditions for a valid prayer?”

“How do I balance between dunya (worldly life) and deen (religion)?”

“What are the Sunnah acts before and after Salah?”

“How do I repent sincerely?”

“What are the key signs of a good Islamic marriage partner?”

By asking meaningful questions, we gain beneficial knowledge and improve our understanding of Islam without wasting time on unnecessary inquiries.

11 More Silly Questions to Avoid Due to Their Ridiculousness

“If I hold my breath while sneezing, does shaytan still say ‘Achoo’?”

“If I recite Ayat-ul-Kursi a hundred times, can I fly?”

These types of questions either mock Islamic teachings, show a lack of seriousness, or focus on extreme technicalities that are unnecessary. Instead, it's better to ask meaningful questions that increase one's knowledge and practice of Islam.

11 More Silly Questions to Avoid Asking Trustworthy Scholars

“If I make wudu/ablution with Zamzam water, will my sins be forgiven twice?”

“If I wear a turban while praying, do I get extra rewards?”

“Can I fast every other day so I only have to do half of Ramadan?”

“Is my wudu invalid if I forget to say ‘Bismillah’ before washing my face?”

“If I do Hajj in virtual reality, does it count?”

“Can I make Dua to live for 1,000 years?”

“If I hear the Adhan in my dream, do I have to wake up and pray?”

“Is it permissible to put perfume on my prayer mat so my sujood smells nice?”

“If I name my son ‘Jannah,’ will he automatically go to Jannah?”

“If I drink Zamzam while standing on one foot, does it double the blessings?”

“If I perform Salah really fast, can I make up for all the prayers I missed in one day?”

These types of questions show a lack of seriousness and may waste the scholar’s time. Instead, it's best to focus on learning useful and practical Islamic knowledge (through reliable sources).

Note: Some Notes Regarding Qur'an Subject Online Classes (ChatGPT)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

✅ Question: During a Qur'an subject online class via Zoom or Google Meet, an instructor informs her students that after each student recites and completes her recitation, she can exit the virtual meeting. What are 7 benefits of that and 7 disadvantages of doing that compared to if all students are instructed to remain present during the call until the very end of the class?
💻 ChatGPT: Here are 7 benefits and 7 disadvantages of allowing students to leave the virtual Qur’an class after their recitation compared to requiring them to stay until the end:

Benefits

Time Efficiency – Students can leave once they finish, allowing them to use their time productively for other studies or responsibilities.

Reduced Anxiety – Some students may feel nervous reciting in front of others, so leaving immediately after their turn can ease their stress.

Minimized Distractions – Students who have already completed their recitation may become inattentive if they are forced to stay, leading to unnecessary distractions.

Encourages Promptness – Knowing they can leave earlier may motivate students to attend on time and complete their recitation promptly.

Less Internet Load – Fewer participants in the virtual meeting can improve connection stability for those still present, reducing lags and technical issues.

Personalized Learning Pace – Students can focus on their own progress rather than passively waiting for others to finish.

Flexibility for Different Schedules – Those with other commitments (e.g., family duties, work, or school) benefit from being able to leave early.

Disadvantages

Missed Learning Opportunities – By leaving early, students miss the chance to learn from others’ mistakes and corrections given by the instructor.

Less Sense of Community – Staying together fosters a group learning atmosphere and mutual encouragement, which is lost when students leave one by one.

Lack of Reinforcement – Hearing multiple recitations reinforces proper pronunciation, rules, and fluency, which benefits all students.

Disrupted Class Flow – If students leave in the middle of the session, it can create a fragmented and less engaging learning experience.

Reduced Discipline and Patience – Requiring students to stay helps them develop patience and attentiveness, which are important qualities in studying the Qur’an.

Less Accountability – Students who leave early may not feel the same level of commitment compared to those who stay until the end.

Instructor’s Effort May Feel Undervalued – If students leave immediately, the teacher may feel that her time and feedback are not being fully appreciated.

From an Islamic perspective, keeping students in the Qur'an class until the end is generally more rewarding and beneficial for several reasons:

1. More Time for Qur’an Learning

Islam encourages continuous learning, especially of the Qur’an. If students stay, they can benefit from others’ recitations, corrections, and explanations, reinforcing their knowledge. The Prophet ﷺ said:

"The best among you are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it." (Bukhari)

2. Greater Rewards for Patience and Seeking Knowledge

Remaining until the end cultivates patience and dedication, which are highly valued in Islam. The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever takes a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make easy for him the path to Paradise.” (Muslim)

Even if a student has finished reciting, staying to listen and learn from others is an act of humility and sincerity in seeking knowledge.

3. Strengthening the Bonds of Brotherhood/Sisterhood

Islam encourages unity and mutual support in learning. If students leave immediately after reciting, they miss the chance to support and learn from their peers. The Prophet ﷺ said:

“A believer to another believer is like a building, each part supporting the other.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

Encouraging students to stay fosters a sense of togetherness, which can enhance motivation and spiritual growth.

4. Increased Barakah (Blessings) in the Gathering

When people gather to learn the Noble Qur’an, some of Allah's angels surround them, mercy descends upon them, and Allah mentions them among His noble angels. The beloved Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whenever people gather in one of the houses of Allah to recite the Book of Allah (the Almighty) and study It (The Noble Qur'an) together, tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelops them, angels surround them, and Allah mentions them among those with Him.” (Muslim)

Even though the class is online, the same principle applies—staying in the session longer increases the barakah of learning.

5. More Opportunities for Reflection and Du'a

A full class session often includes discussions on meanings, reflections on the Noble Qur'an, and supplications at the end. Those who leave early may miss out on these spiritual benefits.

Conclusion: Which Is Better?

From an Islamic and spiritual standpoint, it is better and more rewarding for students to stay until the end of the session. However, if a student has a valid excuse (e.g., school, family obligations), they can leave after their recitation, but they should do so with the right intention (and better if they ask for the teacher's permission to exit earlier).
