too. Some are crazy for games and some are harmfully addicted to films and songs; some have memory cards full of indecent videos and some exploit night packages by spending the whole night in obscene talks. Likewise, the internet is an important and useful invention of the modern era with countless worldly and religious benefits. But due to this, many evils are becoming widespread among the youth.

The internet is like a knife which can be used for good and bad. But regretfully! Evil usage of the Internet is more prevalent in our society. The obscene articles and stories, dirty pictures and obscene films and dramas that

arouse one’s carnal desires have devastated the manners, character, habits and behaviour of the young generation. Evils like wasting money and precious time the whole night, telling lies and cheating people and blackmailing are becoming rapidly widespread among the youth of our society. In the beginning, the usage of the internet was confined to the computer only. But since this facility has become available on mobile phones as well, small children are also wasting their future falling prey to this social evil. The youths who are suffering from this epidemic get deprived of education and are seen being disgraced after losing manners and etiquettes instead of getting any status in society.

For Allah Almighty’s sake! Wake up from heedlessness and develop a mindset of reforming your children as well as reforming yourself.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Try to get inclined towards the righteous deeds and do not commit any sin by considering it to be minor; because one sin is a combination of many evil deeds, that is to say, it brings ten other evils with it.

Ten harmful effects of sin

Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyiduna ‘Umar Bin Khattab رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated: Even if the sin is just one, it brings forth ten evils with it:

٭When a person commits sin, he attracts the wrath of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, whereas, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has the power to inflict wrath on that person.

٭He (i.e. one who commits sin) makes the accursed Satan happy.

٭He distances himself from Paradise.

٭He gets closer to Hell.

٭He harms the most precious thing of his, i.e. his own life.

٭He makes his heart impure, whereas it is (originally) pure.
