When I started posting on LinkedIn,
people advised me not to talk about 3 things:
1. Politics
2. Religion
3. Family
I did the opposite.
I didn’t listen to anyone.
I am a practicing Muslim.
I love talking about Islam — everywhere.
I made this my core topic, and people know how serious I am about it.
I spoke about politics more than most.
I spoke about Gaza.
I spoke about human rights — without choosing sides.
When something wrong happened,
I didn’t stay silent.
Not on LinkedIn. Not anywhere.
I am also a family man —
a husband, a father, a son.
I talk about that too.
And I will continue to do so.
After all this, I learned one thing:
Don’t listen to anyone but yourself.
Understand what you want.
Do it daily.
Don’t measure your voice by likes or approval.
One day,
you become the standard.
Everyone is created with a unique path.
That’s why Allah said we are the best of creation.
Be the best version of yourself.
