Book Name:Sharm-o-Haya Social Media Ka Ghalat Istimal
Similar kind of event is found for the Sahabiyyah of the Beloved Rasoolصَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Khallad رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا. Her son got martyred in one of the battles. In order to find out about him, she رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا went in the court of the Holy Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم while covering her face and observing veil. Upon this, someone asked her out of astonishment, ‘You have covered your face even at this time!’ She رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا replied, ‘I have indeed lost my son, not my modesty.’ (Abu Dawood, vol. 3, pp. 9, Hadees 2488)
Dear Islamic sisters! Did you see that despite her son being martyred, Sayyidatuna Umm-e-Khallad رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهَا still observed “veil”. But alas! Unveiling and immodesty are prevalent all around now. Remember! This is what Shaytan wants that a woman should be unveiled and modesty be eradicated. That’s why Shaytan and its followers raised the slogan “men and women shoulder to shoulder”. Women thought that they are being given respect and dignity through this slogan in society; whereas, the purpose of this slogan is to fool the woman and use her beauty for one’s own financial gains.
Dear Islamic sisters! 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 in our society. The usage of social media was limited before; 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.
