Addressing the matter, Zahid said, “In the podcast, I was talking about the inventors of social media platforms, not digital creators. I called them Jahannumi, which was wrong of me. I’m embarrassed because I spoke too emotionally. I have no right to decide who goes to Jannat or Jahannum — that’s Allah’s job. It was important for me to correct myself because I influence many young people, and I don’t want to send out a wrong message regarding Deen.” Here is the link to the video:
