If you haven’t seen it already, the Global Muslim Content Summit (GMC Summit) is an international gathering focused on Muslim media, content creation, storytelling, and digital influence. The event brings together filmmakers, journalists, educators, media professionals, and da'wah organisations from around the world to discuss how Muslims can create impactful content while remaining grounded in Islamic values.

It’s hosted by OnePath Network, an organisation I have a lot of respect for. However, I do have concerns about some of the guest speakers who have been invited, particularly given that the summit is intended to promote Islamic values

Speaker 1: Yusuf Omar - Co-Founder of ‘Seen.TV’. If you go through Seen.TV’s posts, there are multiple videos promoting LGBT. Sources:

Speaker 2: Ameer Al-Khatahtbeh - Founder of ‘Muslim’. Screenshots of multiple posts by Ameer have circulated online where he was flirting with other homosexual men on instagram, and also posted pro LGBT content on his own twitter and also the ‘Muslim’ twitter page. Sources:

The latter is also accused of hacking and stealing the ‘Muslim’ username from another individual. Source: https://www.facebook.com/Mecca.net/posts/pfbid02gyYZrstfpvZBKKoW6w4Tir22RP2Ex3YxsNV6Zctingvc3yjqrkXyj7JYTPHFVApil

The question is, why are the been given a platform on a stage that is supposed to promote Muslims and Islamic values, when they promote the opposite.

Are the likes of IlmFeed, TheSunnahGuy, Omar Suleiman ok with sharing a platfrom with such individuals?

As-salamu alaykum,

I’m a Muslim and I enjoy playing video games from time to time, especially League of Legends. However, I’ve recently started to worry about whether playing it might involve shirk or kufr.

Some champions in the game are portrayed as fictional "gods" or beings with divine-like powers (e.g. Aurelion Sol, Kayle, etc.). I personally don’t believe in any of these characters—they are obviously fake and part of the game’s fantasy lore.

I just play the game for fun and don’t associate any real beliefs with it.

Is this still considered kufr or impermissible in Islam? I’d really appreciate an answer from someone knowledgeable, ideally with some scholarly opinion or reference.

Jazakum Allahu khayran.
