 iWORLD
• We live in an iWorld, surrounded by iPhones, iPads,
Myspace, YOUtube…The focus is clear: I, Me, My
(ego).
• “What they think of Me? They “liked” it. “How many
friends I have?
• While FB is indeed a powerful tool, let it be a tool of
your freedom, not a tool of your servitude to yourself
and assessment of others.
Generation X Y Z
• Chronologically at the last
✓“ Muhammad is not a father of any of your men, but
(he is) the apostle o Allah and the seal of the
prophets…” Al Ahzab 40
✓…and I am that brick (in a building)” Hadith
• Extreme in many aspects
• Internet-Exposed
HADITH QUDSI, reported by Darimi
‫والحر‬
ّ ‫الزمان حتّى يعلمه الرجل والمرأة والعبد‬ ّ «
ّ ‫أبث العلم في آخر‬
ُ
»‫فعلت ذلك بهم أخذتهم بحقي عليهم‬ ‫ فإذا‬،‫والصغير والكبير‬
In the end time, I will disseminate Knowledge until it
will be known to man and women, servant and
freeman, small child and old person. When I did that to
people, I will punish them because of My right which is
incumbent upon them.

• Spiritually empty, socially irresponsible and
productively idle.
CONFUSED PARENTS
➢Lost Control over their Children’s activities;
➢Confused where to educate their Children;

• So kanggonana-owa o mga lokes ko manga wata iran siiko kaosara ko

If FB is like a public street, does it has RIGHT?
• “Beware of sitting on roads. People said: We have but
to sit there. The Messenger of Allah said: If you have
to sit there, then observe the rights of way. They
asked: What are the rights of way? He said: To lower
your gaze, to remove harmful objects, returning
greetings, enjoining good and forbidding evil.”
Narrated by Abu Said Al Khudri.
ISLAMIC SUBSTITUTES
• Collective responsibility of Islamic Governments and Organizations to
come up with projects and programs that will cater the needs of the
Muslims in the realm o Social Media.
• Islamic Substitutes, such as films, games, TV programs and
entertainment, audio and video productions are much needed in
order to get rid of un-Islamic ones that are available in every TV
broadcasting company.
• Even Integrated Islamic Schools should come up with programs and
entertainment that is nearer to Islamic culture than Western culture.
 YOU ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE!!!
