Destruction of Internet

Dear Islamic brothers! Social media is like a knife that has good usage as well as an ill-usage. But unfortunately, there is more ill-usage of social media in our society. The obscene articles and stories, pictures and such videos that arouse carnal desires have destroyed the character, morals and habits of the younger generation. Sins like wasting one’s precious money and time, lying, deceiving and blackmailing people are rapidly spreading among the youth of our society. Before, the usage of social media was limited; but since this facility has become available on mobile phones, even small aged children are falling prey to it and destroying their future. Those who fall prey to it remain deprived of acquiring education, fail to attain a prominent status in the society, lose morals and become disgraced all around. Let us listen about some of the harms of social media.

Destruction of social media

1. Religious (spiritual) loss: It is stated on page no. 33 of the monthly magazine “Faizan-e-Madinah”, October 2017 edition: Those who use social media, it is very difficult for them to refrain from sins, especially unlawful gazing. Because people with corrupt beliefs and disbelievers also use social media in large numbers. That’s why sometimes there is a great risk for a common Muslim to fall prey to their whispers and develop corrupt beliefs or become an apostate.

2. Physical loss: Social media accounts are normally accessed through mobile phones or computers. Both of them are harmful to one’s eyesight. Moreover, in case of not using it in the right posture can also result in effecting one’s muscles.

3. Educational loss: Using time effectively is the key to success in education, whether worldly or religious. There would perhaps not be anything else that wastes one’s time as much as social media does. It is possible that in future, this Ummah gets deprived of the authentic scholars, competent doctors and engineers (because students waste most of their time using social media).
