Diligent in Prayer but Likes Posting Photos? Discover Buya Yahya's Answer Regarding Fruitless Worship!

Kapanlagi.com - In this digital era, social media has evolved into more than just a communication and entertainment tool. It has now become a stage for many to share precious moments in their lives, through photos, sounds, and videos uploaded to these platforms.

With an increasing number of individuals active online, there is a tendency to engage in the same activities repeatedly, including for women who love to share personal photos. For some, sharing photos on social media is a form of freedom of expression and a way to stay connected with friends and family.

However, many also argue that this action should be considered more thoughtfully. Especially when a Muslim woman known for her piety, such as being diligent in prayer, is also actively showcasing herself online. This often leads to negative perceptions from some, as if the worship she performs is not in line with the behavior she displays.

In this context, it is important to understand that each individual has their own way of expressing themselves. Social media may reflect their lives, but perceptions from others can vary greatly.

Let’s take a deeper look at how this phenomenon affects the way we view the relationship between faith and self-expression in this digital age.

1. Don't Judge the Badness but Appreciate the Goodness

In the midst of the noise of social media that makes it easy for us to judge people only by what is seen on the screen, Buya Yahya offers a heartwarming perspective.

In his study, he stated, "Alhamdulillah, she is a woman who diligently prays. If she uploads her photo on social media, may Allah provide guidance and direction."

This statement reminds us that we often get caught up in comparisons and seek out the flaws of others, whereas every individual has their own strengths and weaknesses.

"Do not view others by comparing them, but appreciate their goodness and pray that Allah forgives their shortcomings," he emphasized, inviting us to be wiser and more compassionate in how we view one another.

2. Pray to Be Protected from Evil

Prayer is a sacred obligation for every Muslim, and if someone still performs it, that is a goodness that we should appreciate.

Do not rush to judge someone from just one perspective. As Buya Yahya stated, "Why should we belittle someone who prays?

Even if she often uploads photos, Alhamdulillah, she still diligently prays." We tend to see the negative sides of others, whereas we should be grateful for their worship.

Let us change our perspective, focusing more on the goodness and praying that they are granted guidance by Allah. "Which is more beautiful," he asserted, "she is active in uploading photos but still diligently prays. May her worship keep her away from wrongdoing."
