As-salaamualaikum (May Peace and Blessings be Upon You)

Before sharing my 10 tips with you, it is worth me saying that I am not writing this article from a Shariah standpoint as I am not qualified to do so, but instead more guidance on “good manners” for Social networks for Muslims in South Africa. As technology makes it easier for us to be in touch “on the go”, it is concerning to see how our Imaan (belief) can so easily be adversely affected unless we make a concerted effort to use resources such as the Internet, You Tube, Facebook, BBM, Twitter, Email etc to our advantage instead of detriment. As a mother to children who are just learning to use social media these are some of the tips I aspire to instil in them as part of good values, some of which have been echoed by the learned Mufti Menk.

1. Lower the gaze. This applies to both men and women. Lowering the gaze is not just when there is someone standing in front of you but also in cyberspace. Protect your “hiyaa” (modesty). Beware of the haraam media around the internet. Beware of the temptations created when “chatting” to strange men and women.

2. Be wary of the authenticity of the information received or broadcasted. This is especially true in the case of BBM. It is very easy to broadcast to all your contacts, but unless you are 100% sure of the source, this has the potential to ruin lives.

3. Choose who you follow carefully. Do you want to be a leader or follower? What are you allowing someone that you follow on Twitter or a Facebook friend to bring into your life? Open your life to those who will help you strengthen your Imaan (belief), and will help you to be closer to Allah. read more
