Assalamualaikum. 
Warahmatullah my brothers and 

2
00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:07,100
sisters a few days ago. 
I received an email from a 

3
00:00:07,108 --> 00:00:10,200
brother telling me that his 
sister had contracted 

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,900
coronavirus covid-19 and she 
passed away a few days earlier. 

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,100
May Allah give her genital 
ferdos. 

6
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:21,200
May Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala 
Grant her the high and lofty 

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,600
Rank and make it easy for her 
family. 

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:29,100
The matter he raised was that 
she had a presence online on 

9
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:32,100
tick-tock. 
In particular where she did some

10
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:36,100
silly things and she was just as
a teenager, she did some 

11
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:40,300
embarrassing things as well and 
now that she's passed on, they 

12
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:44,100
feels she would not have liked 
that type of a legacy. 

13
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:48,200
She wouldn't have liked those 
embarrassing short videos to be 

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,100
something that she's remembered 
for. 

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,900
So they tried to get it deleted 
but unfortunately they couldn't 

16
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,200
they say they've contacted 
Tick-Tock and whoever else to 

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,400
try and help them but The with 
no joy. 

18
00:01:01,900 --> 00:01:05,099
Now the point I want to raise is
simple. 

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,700
My brother's my sister's my 
beloved children when we use 

20
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:13,900
social media, use it in a way 
that if you were to die. 

21
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:17,800
For some reason, you would not 
be embarrassed about the content

22
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,000
that you have put out there. 
Sometimes people do silly things

23
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,400
just to gain a following. 
Sometimes people do that which 

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,400
is very embarrassing at times. 
Even unacceptable in Order to 

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,900
gain the attention of people. 
If that is the case, ask 

26
00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:35,800
yourself. 
Would I be embarrassed? 

27
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,200
If this thing were to remain 
after I have died? 

28
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,900
And definitely that would guide 
you as a Believer, we should do 

29
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,100
that, which is good, we should 
do that, which is not 

30
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:49,600
embarrassing. 
If we were to die and even if we

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,000
did not die but we need to be 
much more responsible when it 

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,500
comes to the use of social 
media, who would like a legacy 

33
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:02,000
to be left after them of that 
which is not good. 

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,500
So my brothers and sisters, I 
thought perhaps this very short 

35
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,400
message, would inspire you to be
much more responsible when it 

36
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,200
comes to Media may Allah 
subhanahu wa'ta'ala grant us a 

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,500
good lesson. 
I pray for the sister who's 

38
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:18,100
passed on. 
I'm sure the almighty with all 

39
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:21,600
his mercy and kindness, would 
definitely look at her with the 

40
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,400
eyes of Mercy. 
But at the same time, we also 

41
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,300
pray for the family through 
these very difficult days. 

42
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:31,800
With people messaging them some 
with very bad messages yet, it's

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,000
not their fault at all, this 
could have happened to anyone. 

44
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,100
Let's use social media in a very
responsible way and ask the 

45
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:41,800
almighty to grant us. 
A death when he is pleased with 

46
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,600
us. 
Thank you so much for listening.

47
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600
Just a Kamala Harris. 
Assalamu alaikum, warahmatullahi

48
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:47,400
wabarakatuh.
