SOCIAL MEDIA - A DOOR OF FITNA | Use it Cautiously
﷽Allah ﷻ says:
*حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُواْ بِمَآ أُوتُواْ*
_until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given_
They were enjoying it!
*أَخَذنٰهُم بَغْتَةً*
_all of a sudden, We took them to punishment_
They die, while busy with WhatsApp, busy with Twitter, busy with tweets, busy with Facebook.
Not busy with the Qur'an.
*أَخَذنٰهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُّبْلِسُونَ*
_All of a sudden, We took them to punishment and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows._
[6:44]
And then they are hopeless, Khalas!
Now what will they say to Allah?
Rather the youth of today, they die while their phone is full of Haram photos, on twitter, haram photos, and on WhatsApp, they love to backbite, and send songs and clips (of Haram)
Then he faces Allah ﷻ.

The beginning of the ayah explain the context of this description!
*فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ*
_And when they forgot what they had been reminded with_
*فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ*
_We opened for them gates for every (pleasant) thing._
[6:44]
_
Allah ﷻ took these people, who forgot Him ﷻ and increased them in their provision, and then seized them while they enjoyed themselves!
_
How many of us, we have Qur'ans on our phones,
Yet close the Qur'an app at any notification!
How many of us can honestly say they use it regularly!
_
Don't let the Social Media distract you from Allah ﷻ!
_
We are so busy, responding to messages and notifications, we forget to respond to the call of the one who created us!
The 5 Salat all pass, before we will lift our heads!
A week will pass before we pick up our Qur'an!
_
And even then you find, that we will do these acts,
Yet we will quicken our Salah!
We will rush our recitation!
_
For what?
Social Media!
_
A door of Fitnah!
You wouldn't give your phones to your parents for a reason!
Because you know, they would be immensely disappointed!
_
Yet we forget that Allah ﷻ knows All, Sees All and Hears All,
That Haram picture, video you view and share!
That girl/boy you flirt with and exchange pictures with!
Everything!
As Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:
*إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا*
_Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart - about all those [one] will be questioned._
[17:36]
_
Imagine dying and meeting Allah ﷻ with sins accumulating over your head!
Repent to Allah ﷻ before you die!
_
May Allah ﷻ guide us and make our social media usage a means for us to attain Jannah and not as a means for His anger and punishment.
