In the age of digital distractions and overwhelming information, "brain rot" — a colloquial term for mental stagnation caused by overconsumption of trivial or harmful content — has become a significant barrier to personal growth and productivity. This talk will explore the concept of “brain rot” through an Islamic lens, examining its impact on mental clarity, time management, and spiritual well-being.

Drawing on Quranic principles and Prophetic teachings, the talk will highlight the importance of purposeful living (niyyah), mindfulness (taqwa), and accountability for our time (hisab) as cornerstones for maintaining productivity and achieving balance.

The talk will cover practical strategies rooted in Islamic values, such as prioritizing beneficial knowledge (ilm), avoiding wastefulness (israf), and engaging in the remembrance of Allah (dhikr) to detoxify the mind and realign with meaningful spiritual goals.

The session will also address how modern Muslims can navigate the digital landscape by fostering discipline and adopting habits that elevate both worldly and spiritual success. By combining faith-based insights with actionable steps, this presentation aims to inspire a holistic approach to overcoming “brainrot” and cultivating a life of purpose and productivity in alignment with Islamic teachings.
