Guard Against Harmful Influences
Reading time: 2 minutes
The media is the most powerful entity in the world. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power.
In our world today, every image, sound, and word we encounter leaves an indelible mark on our hearts and minds.
There is a story of a scholar who, upon reflection, realized he had lost a cherished piece of knowledge—an insight he attributed to a fleeting glimpse of something forbidden.
If a brief exposure could rob us of treasured wisdom, imagine the cumulative damage when our senses are continuously bombarded with haram influences.
We live in an age where propaganda and negative messages flow in abundance, filling our homes and minds with content that can erode our spiritual core.
Like a sponge absorbing water, our minds soak up every piece of information that reaches us.
When we allow our hearts to be inundated with harmful influences, we risk diluting our inner sanctity and distancing ourselves from the divine guidance meant to nurture our souls.
How much more can we endure?
How long can we allow our inner selves to be polluted by constant exposure to content that runs counter to our values?
True strength lies in cultivating an inner sanctuary that remains untarnished.
It is essential to be cautious and discerning about what we consume, for every positive or negative impression carries weight.
By filtering and limiting the influence of harmful media, we protect our spiritual memory, the repository of our identity and wisdom, and we can achieve a more focused, faithful, and resilient heart.
Let us commit ourselves to guarding our senses, ensuring that the messages we internalize uplift us.
In doing so, we honor our heritage, reaffirm our commitment to nurturing an inner state that is pure and unburdened, and set the stage for a future where our Ummah is revitalized—built on the legacy of those who have come before us.
Reflection:
What steps can you take to ensure that your daily impressions uplift you rather than erode your values?
Establish periods in your day or week when you disconnect from TV, smartphones, and social media to focus on reflection and spiritual activities.

🤲 Make Du’a for Waaiz 🤲
﷽
Ya Allah, Most Merciful and the Ultimate Healer, grant Waaiz complete and perfect shifa. Protect him from any illness, and let him never experience a seizure again. Strengthen his intellectual and cognitive abilities, filling his mind with clarity, wisdom, and beneficial knowledge.
Oh Allah, safeguard him from the fitna of social media and all forms of harm. Protect him from every evil, seen and unseen, and surround him with Your divine protection.
Bless Waaiz with a life filled with emaan, barakah, and Your infinite mercy. Guide him always on the straight path and make him among those who seek Your pleasure in all that they do.
Ameen.🤲🏽
