Menaissance: Attention & Distraction

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers,

Allah ﷻ says:

﴿يَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَمَا تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ﴾

“He knows the stealthy glance of the eyes and what the hearts conceal.” (Qur’an 40:19)

In a time when our attention is constantly pulled in every direction, it is worth pausing to ask ourselves some difficult but necessary questions. These are not meant to condemn. The goal is to bring awareness, because what we are unaware of, we cannot change.

Answer these honestly:

1. Do you sleep with your phone beside you?
2. Is it the first thing you touch in the morning?
3. Do you reach for it when you feel pressure, sadness, or conviction?
4. Have you lost hours to scrolling, refreshing, or clicking?
5. Do you get pulled into distractions when you only meant to check one thing?
6. Does low battery or no signal make you uneasy?
7. Do you check it in front of your spouse, your children, or your parents?
8. Do you consume things in private that you would not want exposed?Does the sound of a new message immediately pull your attention?
9. I Do you feel the urge to check it right now?
10. If even a few of these resonate, then this session is meant for you.

*We will be gathering this Sunday morning at 9:30 AM sharp at IIC. 📍Ibrahim Center — 7563 South Freeway*

Thank you,
IIC Team
