Death of Caroline Flack | Mufti Abu Layth

Caroline Flack this this whole thing I wanted to say a few words on these so I don't sew her the the tragic news of her suicide has emerged just after a Valentine's Day now I was I don't really know who she was before this I'd not I don't really watch I don't watch at all love Island or things like this although I do see a lot of memes taken out of it on Instagram but I don't really watch any of that and I didn't really know until this this had happened and she was all over the news so I was watching it that who is this

person and and the tragic kind of events and the whole trolling and the hating and on a side note it's interesting in that alone that you see I the fact that I didn't me as a person and maybe there's many other people who'd never really heard of her but it's with her demise that we become aware of her and it's over it's an irony and overwhelming irony that our mortality in ways may

immortalizes that's you know as if as a concept that is so overwhelming that that that how we you know in many cases but but getting back to to to this point that apparently she had some there was a court case going on of abuse between her and a boyfriend I think she kind of smashed his head in with a lamp which obviously is not a good thing but so I think there was some kind of court case going on and all these restrictions but the media were going mad in trolling her

paparazzi's media hate online all this kind of stuff maybe this was my speculation I thought maybe the fact of being lonely and then Valentine's Day because it's given so much hype as well may have contributed to that maybe not but the day after she commits on that night she commits suicide now I think that you know just reflecting on this whole phenomena the the kind of power that we as human beings have now with the Internet is it's so disturbing and I've spoken about this in the past

it's so scary that we've kind of acquired these almost godlike powers where we can cast people you know into this kind of eternal damnation buy things online which way the internet never forgets it has the ability to forever remember you know which an ability previously only attributed to God you know in a Rob be liable oh well I answer you know my Lord who does not forget and is neither misguided but here

this power that we have and people gang up and they kind of troll the hell out of individuals a kind of a distant from a safe distance they have a an opportunity to really kind of chastise and cast out their inner demons and then just switch that off and go back to being you know these apparently nice people and I find that very disturbing and I just think that you know this this

whole phenomenon it is is something that is right now leading to a huge discussion on should the media be restricted in their powers and things like this to to really just you know troll the hell out of someone I do like I do believe in a free press but I also do understand that you know in this world it's all about just selling stories and people can be so cruel yeah so yeah so I just wanted to share some of those with it is I from there was something I heard

that she had said and I thought that that is an amazing thing I mean I don't that it was a Tribune's it said she had said it I don't know whether she was just reading it from somewhere but she had posted on one of her things saying in in a world where you can be anything be kind and I thought that's an amazing quotation really because it is so true that you know when we have so much potential in this day and age to become things to that we so overlook just these simple qualities of saying of being like

why not just be kind or be a decent a good human but yeah I mean that's you know may Allah any person who is suffering from these things may Allah grant them ease okay and whoever they are wherever they are whatever faith they belong to you know people who have died of tragic deaths may Allah grant them a blessed afterlife and their family in this world may Allah you know make things easy for them and it's not just her there's many people who commit suicide I mean weekly if you just see the statistics and you know may Allah make

things easy right
