never be the smartest in the room
your growth depends on It
Salaam 'ilm seeker,
It feels good being the smartest;
being the one everyone comes to for advice.
it's an amazing feeling of comfort.
But if you’re the smartest one in the room,
then who’s pushing you?
Who’s making you uncomfortable enough to grow?
The Prophet ﷺ said, “A man is upon the religion of his best friend, so let one of you look at whom he befriends.” (Tirmidhī)
Surrounding yourself with people who challenge you is key to success.
A Strong Suhbah Pushes You to New Heights
Being around high-achievers does three things:
1. It Challenges You:
You can’t grow in comfort. Rise to the levels of those around you.
2. It Inspires You:
Seeing others succeed reminds you that it is possible.
3. It Keeps You Accountable:
A strong circle won’t let you slack off. They’ll call you out when you’re slipping.
Who’s in Your Circle?
Look around you. Are the people in your life pushing you to be better?
If you’re serious about your growth—whether in your deen, business, or your personal goals
—then it’s time to evaluate your circle.
