In a world full of celebrities and amass media that throws them in

your face every second of the day;its no wonder that children, teens

and even some adults are influencedto look, dress and even act likecelebrities. This to me, seems like a

form of idol worship. The dictionary defines the word idol as:

1-A person, an image or other material object representing a deity towhich religious worship is addressed.

2-Any person or thing regarded with blind admiration, adoration, ordevotion.

3-A figment of the mind; fantasy.4-A false conception or notion; fallacy.

So you can see that an idol, besides being someone or something worshippedother than God is someone or something that attracts a persons admiration,

adoration or devotion giving them a false sense of reality. Knowing this, itsclear to see that todays celebrity filled

media is giving the masses idols to basetheir lives around. How many kidswatch a television show and thenimmediately start acting out what they

just saw? How many teens and young

adults follow the latest popular trends set bycelebrities and pop culture? Dressing like,thinking like and imitating these people who

are not necessarily role models, just for the fact that they are famous is now normal in society. They are regular people with flaws

just like any one of us. The only difference isthat their lives are being watched by theworld and people fall for the trick of Shaytan

(the devil) in thinking that their way is theright way to want to live. Looking attractive will give you confidence and boost your self esteem. Wealth, fame and materials will make up for your

short comings. Unfortunately theydont. andwont.

Allah says in the Quran: And He said: "You have taken (for worship)

idols besides God, out of mutual love and regard between yourselves in thislife; but on the Day of Judgment you shall disown and curse each other: and

your abode will be the Fire, and you shall have none to help you."(Al-Ankaboot, 25)

Are these the people we want to look and act like?Arent there better role models out there than singers, rappers, actors and athletes? Will following these people help us attain Paradise orwill they lead us into Hellfire? These are the most

important questions because at the end of the day when we all stand in front ofour Lord and have to answer for how

we lived our lives, can we really expect to say, I looked and acted just like LadyGaga and 50 Cent? NO! You will curse these people for tricking you into

acting and living like them. Why?Because it lead you away from true

success and right into punishment from your Lord. Allah (God) had already created for us perfect examples of how we should live our lives. Menwho would teach us the true nature of existence and how to be successful on themost important day in the history of mankind. They are called Prophets.

Allah says in the Quran: Surely there is for you in Gods Messengeranexcellent example for him who aspires to God and the Hereafter, and

mentions God often. (al-Ahzab, 33.21)

The Prophets of Allah (God) were the bestexamples on how one should live their life.This was their job in the first place, to come to

earth and teach those who went astray how tolive properly. So why have we abandoned these great examples for the ignorance and

foulness of celebrities and modern society?We have been tricked into thinking that the

high life is what we should aspire to gain , when in reality, living for thiskind of life will onlydistract us from what is really important. the worship

and obedience of Allah.

So many times I have seen young women buyclothes and dress a certain way because of an

actress or singer. The Sex and the Citymentality has young girls not wanting to get

married or have children. They would ratherhave random sexual partners with no real commitments to a family. Too many times Ihave seen young men risk their lives and freedom

to sell drugs and to be a part of gangs, imitatingra ppers and that thug lifeillusion. A lifechasing lusts and desires is now popular and

widespread. Religion and Allah (God) havebeen replaced with a Godless, lust and desire filledway of existence.

The Prophets taught to worship God,

honor your parents and neighbors. Bekind and generous. Be charitable to thoseyou know and to those you dontknow. Befair and just in dealing with people. Do nothurt anyone on purpose. No cheating or

stealing. Can we honestly say that this is the way that the world is acting?Its the complete opposite ofwhat the Prophets taught. Shaytans (the devil)way of life is reigning and will continue to do so until we realize that if we are

not imitating the Prophets in every word, actionand thought, then we are giving into the Godlessway of life created by the enemy of Allah(God). Shaytan (the devil).

Get back to your true and pure roots. Study these great men and you will seea life filled with peace, purpose, satisfaction and hope. This pop culture life isone of falseness, illusion and lies which will leave you feeling empty no matterhow much wealth, materials and fame you acquire. The only real satisfactioncan come from Allah (God), and trying to seek it from anyone or anythingelse will just lead to ruin.

Truly, in remembering God do hearts find rest.(Quran 13:28 )

But whoever turns away from the Quran, he will have a hard life, and Wewill raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment.(Quran 20:124)
