NEW SERIES: Inspired By the Salaf | #1 Poison of Fame | Shaykh Abubakar al Khalafi #AMAU
19 Nov 2025
We live in a time where visibility feels like a requirement. We post every moment, turn every good deed into content, and treat being unseen like failure. But the Salaf lived the opposite. They hid their good deeds the way we hide our sins. They feared praise the way we fear embarrassment. They preferred the background while we desire the centre. "Inspired by the Salaf" is a call to step back from the noise. To pull hearts out of the culture of visibility, where every deed becomes content and every moment feels like it needs an audience. This series takes you into the mindset of people who feared attention, who protected their sincerity like treasure, and who begged Allah to keep them unknown. These were the Muslims whose names never filled timelines, yet their deeds filled the heavens. This series pulls us back to their path, where hearts didn't crave likes, they craved Allah. Where people hid their deeds, checked their intentions, called themselves out before others did, and stepped away from the spotlight before it blinded them. In each episode, we rediscover what they feared, what they warned against, and how they guarded their Ikhlas long before the word "clout" existed. In this opening episode, Shaykh Abubakar al Khalafi takes us straight to the heart of the issue: the desire to be seen. He tells us why the Salaf called fame a deadly disease, why they cried when their names appeared on fatwas, and how wanting recognition poisons sincerity inch by inch. It shows how desiring fame steals the sweetness of Iman, makes worship shallow, and leaves a person looking religious while feeling empty. Watch this if you've ever checked who viewed your story. If you've posted a good deed and waited for reactions. If being unnoticed feels like being irrelevant. The Salaf have something to tell you - and it might be the reminder that saves your heart before it's too late.
