Introduction

WHO—OR WHAT—IS SHAPING YOU?

Every day, something is influencing you. A conversation. A friendship. A teacher. A screen. A voice you follow. A person you admire. A whisper you barely notice. Some influences strengthen your faith. Others slowly change the direction of your life—without you even realizing it. But influence works both ways. You are shaping others, too. Through what you say. What you share. How you live. And the example you leave behind. Who is influencing you? What is influencing you? Who are you influencing?

The Theme

“O you who believe! Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has sent forward for tomorrow. And fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Aware of what you do.”
— Surah Al-Hashr 59:18

And ultimately, who we become. Our parents nurture us. Our friends walk beside us. Our teachers educate us. Our leaders inspire us. Our role models shape our ambitions. Our media shapes our thinking. Our communities shape our environment. And Shayṭān works silently to lead us away from the Straight Path. At The Straight Path Convention Malaysia 2026, we bring this often-unseen reality into focus. Guided by the Qur’an and Sunnah, INFLUENCE explores how we can recognize harmful influences, embrace righteous ones, and understand the responsibility that comes with the influence each of us carries.

The Prophet ﷺ said:
“A person follows the religion of his close friend, so let each of you carefully consider whom he takes as a close friend.”
— Sunan Abi Dawud & Jamiʿ al-Tirmidhi

The question is not whether you are being influenced. The question is: by whom—and towards what? And perhaps the greater question is: What kind of influence are you becoming? You may never know every life you touch. But every word, action, and example leaves something behind. Make it something that leads to Allah.

TOPICS

Influence is Everywhere

THE SILENT INFLUENCER (Shayṭān)

Shayṭān’s Principal Deceptions

Shayṭān has been humanity’s enemy since the time of Adam عليه السلام, yet his methods are rarely obvious.

Discover how doubt, desire, distraction, and deception gradually influence the heart—and how the Qur’an and Sunnah teach us to recognize and resist his traps.

Identify the adversary before identifying the battlefield.

HEROES OR IDOLS?

Choosing the Right Role Models

Every generation looks up to someone.

But admiration often leads to imitation.

Who is shaping your idea of success—the personalities celebrated by the world, or the Prophet ﷺ and the righteous generations who followed his path?

Who you admire shapes who you become.

THE COMPANY YOU KEEP

Some friendships elevate your faith.

Others slowly erode it.

Explore how companionship shapes our beliefs, habits, ambitions, and direction—and what it means to become the kind of friend who leads others towards Allah.

Your friends can elevate your faith—or erode it.

BEYOND THE SCREEN

Never before have we been so connected—and so constantly influenced.

Every scroll, click, headline, video, and notification leaves an imprint.

Learn how to navigate media, misinformation, entertainment, and social platforms without allowing them to control your heart, mind, and identity.

Take control of what shapes your heart and mind.

HOME: WHERE INFLUENCE BEGINS

Before the outside world reaches us, home shapes us.

Explore how parents, spouses, and children can create homes where faith is nurtured, character is formed, and a righteous legacy begins.

Strong families build strong generations.

JUST HOW THE SUNNAH ARE YOU?

Has the Sunnah truly shaped your life?

The Sunnah is more than a collection of rituals—it is a complete way of life. From worship and family life to leadership, communication, and relationships, the Prophet ﷺ showed us the best example in every situation. Discover how making the Sunnah your daily guide can transform your character, choices, and purpose.

How much has the Sunnah influenced your life?

FLIPPING THE NARATIVE

Who is shaping the world's perception of Islam?

In Islam, leadership is not about status.
It is an amānah.

Every Muslim represents Islam through their words, actions, and character. In a world where misconceptions and Islamophobia continue to spread, learn how to respond with confidence, wisdom, compassion, and excellence. Become an ambassador of Islam who reflects its true beauty and helps shape a more truthful narrative.

Change perceptions by reflecting the character of Islam.

THE PRICE OF FAME

Followers.
Likes.
Recognition.
Applause.

Fame promises influence—but often comes with a hidden price.

Explore the struggle between sincerity and visibility and why being accepted by Allah matters infinitely more than being celebrated by people.

Seek Allah’s pleasure, not people’s applause.

True leadership is service, trust, and responsibility.

BE THE INFLUENCE THAT LEAD TO ALLAH

Every other influence must ultimately be measured against one standard:

The Book of Allah.
The Qur’an does not merely inform us—it transforms us.

Discover what happens when the Qur’an becomes the influence guiding our decisions, relationships, priorities, and purpose.

Let the Qur’an shape the person you become.
