Since the internet is open to all users, anything shared there should be seen as being in the public domain and having the potential to be accessible for the rest of our lives. Social media has a great deal of potential for good, but it also has well-established negative effects. Because fitnah, or social unrest, is characterized by addiction, suspicion, argumentation, and other factors, we should be cautious about adding to it negatively.
Social media is widely used, and it’s simple to understand why. We’re communicating with relatives, friends, and individuals with similar interests around the world. News items are published immediately. Companies are expanding their brands. It is a contemporary marvel. On the other hand, we are all aware of the drawbacks of using social media. Three (3) billion individuals log on to social media every day. 3 billion, yes! To put that into context, that represents 40% of the global population, which means that almost 50% of people use social media daily.
Women are more engaged on social media sites like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, and Pinterest according to studies. Therefore, as women, we are constantly exposed to content and are unsure of how our minds are processing it. The perfect recipe for a catastrophe is created when you add the “influencer” culture to the mixture.
While some Islamic religious leaders discourage their followers from using social media, the vast majority of scholars and preachers take use of social media’s effectiveness and efficiency to interact with the community of believers and strengthen their commitment and loyalty. However, by adhering to Islamic principles and upholding honorable behavior, we can become a source of light and, In Sha Allah, motivate others to follow suit.
