This, to me, reflects a celebrity culture surrounding scholars that has become common in our times. Unfortunately, it's not helpful and only adds to the challenges we already face as an ummah. We've inadvertently turned Islamic da'wah into an industry, constantly seeking the next big name, building platforms, brands, and fan followings. I sincerely hope that we can move away from this trend and return to our tradition of honoring genuine scholarship, dedication, and hard work—the kind that lays the foundation for a strong, thriving community that can raise the next generation, Insha'Allah.
