Do Influencers Owe their Followers Advocacy? | Imam Tom Live
We tackle the "Celebrity Guillotine" phenomenon during Blockout 2024, scrutinizing the role of Muslim influencers who remain silent on Palestine and engage in divisive online behavior. We'll dissect the responsibilities of public figures in leveraging their platforms ethically, while also delving into the correct Islamic approach to public criticism.
Our controversial callout segment features Trevor Noah's connection with ISNA and the broader implications of celebrity involvement in community issues. The episode also covers practical Islamic teachings on nighttime routines from the Sunan of sleep, and continues with insights from John Maxwell's "21 Laws of Leadership," focusing on building meaningful connections and empowering leadership.

It ruins our opportunity for dhikr, it distracts our attention Let's all try to do what you're saying to do Let's all try to make sure that when our night time process happens We're doing these things, that the phone is far away That we're not sort of doing this thing, that way we're not disturbing our sleep We're not ruining our peace And we're focusing on these types of things that Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam recommended Hey, Qadri mentioned Surat Al-Mulk, yeah, Surat Al-Mulk is also, there's other things This is not an exhaustive list of the sunnah of going to bed We just mentioned some of the highlights But yeah, Surat Al-Mulk is also recommended to do Very good Let's move on to our final segment for tonight Our personal development series We've been covering this book by John C. Maxwell The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership Of course, that's a bold statement But he is recognized as an industry leader in leadership and leadership workshops And we've decided that We've decided that this is going to be We're going to move through it a little bit quicker than we were before So we're grouping the laws five at a time We're doing laws 10 through 14 today So law number 10 is called the Law of Connection Okay, this is an extremely important one that we find all over the sunnah of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam That what he means by this is that you have to And this is a nice phrase, get ready for it Touch a heart before asking for a hand Touch a heart before you ask for a hand That means that you have to relate and connect to people on a human level
Before you ask for their assistance This is very, very important Now he goes through eight different steps For how you can better connect to other people And I think they're worth mentioning One, he says, connect with yourself Okay, and what he means by that is that you're sort of You're not being a hypocrite That you are connected to your sense of purpose Like the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam He knew exactly what mission he was on And so that gave him the ability to connect He wasn't running a grift He wasn't running a gimmick He wasn't sort of trying to fool people, right? If you're trying to fool people If you're not connected with yourself When you try to connect with other people You're going to come across as very disingenuous You're going to come across as fake, as phony People are going to see through you And you're not going to be able to lead them Right, so make sure that you're connected with yourself And your mission Communicate with openness and sincerity Know your audience The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said Speak to people at their levels Or where they're at And then he asked a rhetorical question after that He said, do you want people to deny Allah and His Messenger? Basically that, you have to know your audience If you're speaking to an educated group of PhDs and academics That's totally different than if you're on the street corner Talking to people who have just a basic education And are sort of blue-collar workers That's not condescending It's not condescending to treat people differently When it comes to, not in their value or their worth But in how you package a message That when you talk to somebody You have to tailor it to what they're going to understand This is part of connecting And it's part of leading Live your message is another tip So you have to actually practice what you preach Go to where people are If people are at a certain place Unfortunately the kids today are at TikTok So you've got the need for some people Some shuyukh and ulama to be on TikTok Now that doesn't necessarily mean that they need their own accounts Maybe they have a young guy managing the account for them But part of leadership is going to where people are
Focus on other people when you're tailoring your message Not yourself Sometimes we just get in the mode of just expressing ourselves And sometimes we don't even look at the people we're talking to We're just trying to work out our thoughts That you really want to pay attention to human cues You want to pay attention to making a human connection How the person is reacting to what you're saying This happened recently when I was in San Diego When we were giving some sort of talks to some of the students there at the encampment That some of the talks that were given Some of the people noticed that there were some negative reactions To some of the things that were said And they were able to sort of reflect and adjust based off of that Believe in other people We're going to have another law that talks about that That is a key part that You can't connect with people if you don't believe in them You can't think that people are stupid or dopes You basically have to believe that they have a great potential And you're just trying to help them tap into that potential That's an essential part of connecting and leading And finally, offer them direction And hope as the Prophet ﷺ did For example, we brought up the example of the Battle of the Trench When he struck the rock or the boulder that was in their way And he connected them with their mission He connected them with their mission He said basically that Oh, we've got Sham has been given to us And Persia has been given to us And Yemen has been given to us That he was able to offer them direction and also offer them hope Law number 11 is what's called the Law of the Inner Circle That means that your potential is determined by those closest to you And we take this with a grain of salt Because we know that Ibrahim ﷺ was an ummah of one person Your potential is really determined by Allah ﷻ and your sincerity However, we do see that the Prophet ﷺ Had a very, very important inner circle that was a support for him Whether in the early days it was Ahlul Bayt, Khadijah Remember Khadijah's support for him ﷺ When he first got his first revelations
And the belief of Ali and the belief of Fatima And the belief of other people in his household We also see his best friend Abu Bakr His belief and the faith of Abu Bakr on the day of Al-Isra When he came with a story that a lot of people weren't believing But Abu Bakr as his inner circle, right? Was really able to do something very, very important for the movement That your inner circle is extremely important And so you have to be very, very careful about who is in your inner circle What are they adding? What are they contributing? What's the value that they bring? And what's your relationship to them? The next law we have, law number 12 Is the law of empowerment This is a really key one that a lot of non-profits struggle with A lot of Muslim non-profits And I'm going to say masjids I'm going to call you out masjids You struggle with that We do not like to empower others We do not like to empower others We are gatekeepers, right? When the youth come to us with an idea We are very hesitant to let them run with it And to empower them and to say Here's the credit card and here's the keys, go Very, very seldom does that happen Usually it's micromanaged Usually it's like well that's not what we were thinking Etc, etc And that unfortunately is a It demonstrates insecurity from the leadership You are not a secure leader If you are not ready to empower others And the Prophet ﷺ was amazing at empowering others He would send people out He would send Mu'adh ibn Jabal to Yemen He would send other people up to Sham You know, thousands of miles away In order to do work And he trusted them He trusted them Did that mean that they didn't make mistakes? No, absolutely not They made mistakes In fact there was a time When the Prophet ﷺ sent Khalid ibn al-Walid To the eastern part of Arabia To collect zakah Now one thing that people don't appreciate These days is that back then The dialects and sort of the slang And things were very, very different From different parts of Arabia
So Khalid misunderstood what they were saying And basically thought that they were hostile And so he actually killed a bunch of them He actually waged war on them By mistake And he came back to the Prophet ﷺ And it was a whole misunderstanding And the Prophet ﷺ He made it clear that this was a huge mistake He tried to make things right with the tribe He, you know, said that he had nothing to do with it He didn't agree with his action But was that the end of Khalid? Was that the end of the Prophet ﷺ Trusting Khalid ibn al-Walid? No it wasn't This was a mistake And when you empower other people to do work Mistakes happen And so you're patient with those mistakes And this is one thing that I told the older generation When we're talking about these sort of Youth encampments at all these universities If you show up to these encampments You will see things you don't like You will see things that are against Islam That's guaranteed But how patient are you willing to be With the youth of the Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ? How much are you loyal to them That you are not going to abandon them That you will try to support them And guide them as best as you're able to? That is a separate question Law number 13 We've got the law of the picture And that basically means setting an example That people do what they see They do only very little of what they hear And if you have children Or if you teach even more so You understand this You can tell them and tell them and tell them And tell them whatever you want They're going to follow your actions At the end of the day Which is why the most important thing For all you parents out there If you want your children to be strong Muslims It's not to just talk to them and lecture them And lecture them about Islam It's to make decisions that demonstrate That you prioritize Islam You can tell your children You are blue in the face That Islam is the most important thing to you But if you're always taking your children Out of Qur'an class to put them in sports or karate And you never do the opposite Out of sports or karate for Qur'an class What are you teaching them? If you are teaching them
You're not taking them out of school To bring them to Juma To bring them to the Friday prayer Or to make them get to the masjid once in a while What are you teaching them? They will follow your example Much much much more than they follow your words So the law of the picture means That people do what they see That you have to lead by example And that people are going to watch And follow your example And the final one The final law for today And then we'll get to some comments and questions So if you have any comments or questions Make sure that you drop them in the chat before we end The law of buy-in The law of buy-in Buy-in means that people buy into the leader first Then they buy into the vision And this is borne out by Allah ﷻ In the Qur'an when he One of the things that he says I believe it's in Surah Al-An'am About how one of the proofs Upon the Quraysh Was that they knew the Prophet ﷺ That they knew him and they trusted him That the 40 years of the life of the Prophet ﷺ Before he became a prophet Before his official prophethood began It was establishing this trust He was Al-Amin That was literally his nickname The trustworthy one That there were so many examples Of him being a trustworthy person That if the message itself Had been given to anybody else It would have been not only rejected But there would have been reasons to reject it Because every message Is automatically filtered through its messenger Period That's facts Every message is filtered through the messenger That delivers it You can't avoid it You can want to live in an idealist world You can want to say Well people should just take it You know the substance People should just you know Accept or deny based off of the arguments No, no, no, no, no That's not how people work That's not how Allah made us They're going to look at you You're going to tell them about this great religion This great faith, Islam
And this and that to the other But what are you doing? If it doesn't benefit you Why would they want to follow you? So when it comes to leadership in general People need to buy in And they buy into the leader Before they buy into the leader's vision So make sure that you are straight Before you try to communicate Any particular message Very good Excellent Let's roll through some comments Get to some questions And then we'll wrap it up for this evening Maya Rahab says It has been recommended We're talking about you know Phone usage towards night Gives us the tip Turn off notifications I tried it And Allah Akbar Takbir It removes the kind of fear of missing out One gets when hearing the ding of notification 100% You know what? Maya I have all notifications turned off on my phone All day long Except for calls Except for calls And at night I actually put it on airplane mode Like just complete airplane mode So that nobody can reach me whatsoever And it is as you said Allah Akbar Takbir for that Like this is something that It was a game changer for me That it really really Changes the way that you relate to your phone Let's see what else we have here Gotta pick up the book Yeah I do recommend it It's a good book It has to be Islamicized a little bit There are some things in there Like any book You know that's not written Like from our sort of world view There are some things that are Not quite 100% overlapping But definitely the good outweighs the evil Many of the things in the book Can be easily adapted When you keep in mind The lessons from the Quran And the examples from the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Touch their heart A Qadri Before asking for their hand That was not a statement Of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam That was a statement of What was in the book
Sana K. said My Messiah got rid of one of our popular Imams Just because he was so popular Other mosques were calling him I was flabbergasted That's exactly what I'm talking about Sana We have unfortunately Many insecure leaders Where they are not ...comfortable or they are uneasy at anybody becoming bigger than them. And then you said they didn't like that he was representing anyone other than them. That's very small-minded, and that's very narrow-minded. And unfortunately, the entire community suffers when leadership is not secure and leadership is not empowering. A. Khajri points out, I feel like that's how marriage works, too. Laugh out loud. I will follow a man that I respect. A hundred percent. Yeah, that's true. I mean, like leadership, as we said in the very, very beginning of this book, that leadership is not like... we don't have to be like at the head of Fortune 500 companies, right? We're talking about... Everybody's a leader. And the Prophet ﷺ said this, كُلُّكُمْ رَاعِينٌ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْؤُولٌ عَنْ رَاعِيَتِهِ That every single one of you is a shepherd, is what he... is the language that he used, عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةٌ صَلَامٌ, and every single one of you is responsible for his or her flock. And then the examples he gives, they include women as well, right? So everybody is a leader, or they have some sort of leadership capacity, especially within within their family. And so, yes, when it comes to husband-wife relationship, definitely, there's definitely an aspect of leadership there, and it is subject to all these rules, right? That you need to be a believable person before, you know, you want to talk about vision or respect. And unfortunately, we've reached a time where many men, they just want to be respected by virtue of their being a man, without realizing that respect is something that is earned, and respect is a function of trust, and trust must be earned as well. And that this is something that is... It's a very, very
sort of long-term thing that you develop, just as the Prophet ﷺ developed it over the course of 40-plus years. بُنْجُرْنَوْ عَتْخَىٰ تُتْبَنَىٰ قَرَاتِيَٓا بُنْجُرْنَوْ عَتْخَىٰ تُتْبَنَىٰ قَرَاتِيَٰ تُتْبَنَٰىٰ قَرَاتِيَٰ It depends on what we mean by education. I mean the short answer is no, I would not discourage women's education, but I would say that we need to think collectively and not just individualistically. That's one of my concerns when these types of questions are always asked is that the framing is usually very individualistic. This is not a criticism of you Samira. It's just that we think uh we think of basically my choice. Am I going to be able to get an education or not? And we need to think uh as an ummah, right? Are we covering our bases? What are our collective responsibilities? Certainly, you know women need to be educated, but what type of education? Like what is being missed here? Um, are we like if if for example If somebody else were to ask that question Samira and they meant by women's education all becoming You know STEM majors and all you know, I would say no, I I don't necessarily encourage I don't think that that's very smart communal planning That all of us are going to make all of our women become STEM majors and have jobs in tech and stuff like that I think that we need to have some segmentation and some specialization and some coordination and collective thinking on those sorts of fronts Um, so there is an aspect of it. That's individual individual choice, of course But there's also things that are collective that need to be taken into account but writ large no, of course, I mean education is something that is uh important for everybody Fannie garvey we say how do we determine the time for the for the one third night prayer?
Please can we pray it just before federal? Yes, you can pray it just before federa. Uh, you can also pray it much earlier than that essentially your Look at the time of maghreb and look at the time of federa and then how many hours is that let's put it in the Thirds, that's the easiest way and there's other ways, but that's an easy way No, no Yeah, I I hope to Ask me what is my favorite dessert fu tiramisu or baklava hard choice depends on the day Yeah, it depends on the day tiramisu is definitely up there. Uh baklava is also definitely up there as well Rains gleece free got free palestine 100 Uh nor jenna says as a malaysian we are living in a comfort zone alhamdulillah nevertheless We still need to create awareness not only to the non-muslim in our country, but also amongst muslims. That's that's true Uh malaysia, I I expect big things from malaysia I think malaysia is a wonderful place and it's a wonderful center of potential And everybody in the urban needs to be thinking about how are we going to develop that potential? And how are we going to be furthering it? What can we do for the ummah? What can malaysia offer to the ummah? What can the muslims of malaysia offer the ummah? What can the muslims of the united states of america offer to the ummah? I think that's the question of the hour Um Uh pestify asked him i'm tom do you face difficulties for being an american die visibly muslim in america? um Yeah, I have I used to be part of the 4s club. Uh, somehow no longer part of the 4s club if you know what it is if you know, you know four s's means you get sort of the um Four s's on your boarding passes so that you get taken into second questioning whenever you uh cross a border But you know alhamdulillah. I can't complain. I've never been uh I've never been uh Beaten up or anything like that. I've had some cold stares and some you know bigoted comments and things like that, but i've never had to
I've never Faced anything of what some of our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world have faced. So, uh, definitely Definitely won't complain. Uh, do you make tiramisu? Unfortunately, I do not I am out of practice I used to actually work in restaurants and uh and cook quite a bit however Uh the vocation and the path my life has taken me down means I cook a lot less often than I used to And I never actually did make tiramisu myself um I don't know about mixing tiramisu with baklava. That sounds like a bidah But uh, maybe in my stomach i'll mix it up Okay, thank you very much everybody appreciate always your wonderful participation your excellent Musahaba and companionship through this hour. I hope that we all benefited a bit from it if there's anything correct And beneficial is from allah if there's anything incorrect than it's from myself and the shaitan Uh, and we hope to see you next week. So take care and we'll circle back next week with what's going on until then Subhanakallah
