I regularly post links to videos from this channel because I believe when it comes to matters of the Deen, we have an online culture of passive aggressiveness, where we try to guilt people into becoming better Muslims by pointing out all of the negative consequences of our weak/bad actions. To me this can be both negative and positive, as it may bring people closer to Allah, but it may also push those away.
Really Islam is a beautiful religion and there shouldn't be any negative consequences, if it is taught correctly and in moderation.
Not enough is done to emphasise the positive aspects of the faith, as you can only scare someone so much about Hell Fire, before they become numb to it. So the videos I share are about the positive life affirming aspects about Islam: Being optimistic in difficult times. Hopeful about your dreams and ambitions for both the hereafter and this world etc etc...
Optimism = that we read posts of M.I.A. years after years although we do not understand them much of anything. But we continue reading as we believe at one day... we can get it out.
