4. Social loss: Although you can contact the entire world by sitting at one place through social media, but this has created distances among our own loved ones. Father, mother and children are all busy on their own social media accounts and are unable to give time to each other.

5. Economic loss: One spends a lot of money on the internet to use          social media. Same time and money could be utilised more effectively in order to strengthen one’s position. May Allah Almighty enable us to appreciate time.

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيۡهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم

(Mahnamah Faizan-e-Madinah, October 2017, pp. 33)

O devotees of Holy Rasool! Did you see what severe destructions social media contains and what kind of evils are spreading in the society because of it? Therefore, wise approach is to spend time with family members after work rather than wasting it on social media. Time shall be spent in performing worship and ascetic practices, Zikr and Salat-‘Alan-Nabi, contemplating the Hereafter, obeying the parents, Madani upbringing of children, being busy with Madani activities, and reading the books and booklets of Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه and Maktaba-tul-Madinah.

However! Those who actually need to use social media, such as the organisational responsible Islamic brothers or learned (Islamic) scholars etc., there is no harm in them using social media. However, remember! One should be cautious in this fact too that he shall use the social media only as per required. May it not be the case that Shaytan indulges you in unnecessary or ill-usage of social media keeping this as the very base.

Now the question arises that how can the responsible Islamic brothers of Dawat-e-Islami benefit from social media and how can Islam be served through it? So, let us listen to some important benefits of social media in terms of how it becomes useful for the activities of Deen.
