Ostentation in Social Media
Ever wondered how much your intentions influence your spiritual practice, particularly in the world of likes, shares, and retweets? Let's explore this pivotal question together in an episode that might make you rethink your next post.
In this episode we tackle the profound topic of intentions in worship and the unforeseen impact of social media on our motives. We'll dig deep into the subconscious promptings behind ostentation and our innate fear of seeming inferior to others. Bearing Quran's stern warnings against performative prayer and the Prophet Muhammad's teachings on ostentation as a form of idolatry, we'll question our actual motivations in communal worship.
Pushing the boundaries of our discussion, we'll venture into the challenging realm of social media and its role in maintaining pure intentions. It's a platform that could easily turn into a stage for vanity. We'll reflect on the power of clarifying our motives and asking for forgiveness when we falter, and how we can convert our visibility into a force for good. Highlighting the significance of sincere intentions in prayer, we'll investigate their impact on our relationships. This episode is your invitation to resist the lure of turning prayer into a performance, and instead creating a deeper connection with Allah.
