Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, in the name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Alhamdulillahirrahbal alamine

All praise is indeed due to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

The Creator, Narisha, Sustain, Provide, Protect, Cure, of One and All

We praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, we send blessings and salutations upon Muhammad

Sallallahu wa sallam, his household, his companions, may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless them all

And may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us his companionship in the Aakhira

May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless our offspring as well

And grant us all gennitude al-Firdous together with Muhammad Sallallahu wa sallam

My brothers and sisters, if you were to look at social media you would find that over the last few years

there are certain platforms that have grown and these platforms have made it easy for people to keep in touch

Unfortunately, the terms used when keeping in touch with someone are not necessarily accurate

I give you an example, when you want to know what someone is doing on Twitter, for example, you have to click, you have to press a button

That button would then tell you that you are following them, I'm sure you'll come across that

So it will tell you you have so many followers and you are following so many people

You and I know that we don't necessarily follow them, we just want to know what they're doing

The following means two or three different things, to some people it's just like being nosy

You want to know everything they do so you're following them

Some people want to be inspired by the person they are following so they take from them

And this is why you find people's lives change when they follow the right people
