There’s no doubt that media is a dangerous field to go into. Sometimes you can get so caught up in what you’re doing, it can slowly take you away from what’s truly important. Sure, those of us that work with media always say, “Well I’m doing it for the sake of Allah” and that may be true, but when it consumes your day without really studying your deen more in depth or forgetting to pick up the Quran and continue with your memorization — that’s when it’s truly dangerous.
This of course doesn’t only stand with media, it applies to every field. And the further I go into my projects, the more terrified I am of it taking me away from studying Islam. So I’ve made it a point to inshaAllah balance it, or to quit my projects all together, Wallahu alem. May Allah protect us all from that, ameen.
Anyway, in light of all my previous posts being only about media, I decided to try to offset that trend by posting another video I made of a recitation by Salman Bin Al-Utaybi.
I hope you all are shaken by his recitation as much as I am:
The first one is just footage I shot randomly at LSU while I was around the lakes. I put this together in 5 min,but the recitation is amazing. From my favorite surah: Surat Ghaafir (40).
This is a continuation from surat Ghaafir, from footage I took in Marina, Egypt after Fajr. (I made this one a couple months back)
Stumble it!

No one likes me Neha, they all ran away..
actually I just go to my secluded areas. Trust me I don’t like seeing shirtless runners.
Br. Ahmed, as far as I know he just has a couple of clips online. I dont have the link on this laptop but inshaallah when I go to my other one i’ll post it up inshaallah.

I never heard him till you shared this video some time ago (except, I think that one was shorter?); his recitation is incredible, mashaAllah ~ jazakiAllahu khayran for sharing
You make a really good point about balance…it reminds me of the hadith where Rasulullah (salAllahu ‘alayhi wasallam) replied that the reason he didn’t want to talk about Islam all day (despite insistence) was for fear that his companions (radhiAllahu’anhum) would become bored with it. Definitely points out that overindulgence in any matter (subhanAllah, even that of deen) can make one lose sight of and lose the actual benefit of a thing – I mean who wouldn’t want to do the thing they love to do all day? Allah and His Messenger know BEST
