● Social media has transformed how quickly and widely information spreads, placing news directly in people’s hands.● It can be a tool for either good or evil depending on how it’s used.● Extremist groups like ISIS used social media to recruit youth globally, even from countries like the UK and Canada.● In Sydney, a father and son attacked the Jewish community during Hanukkah, killing 15 and injuring 40.● A Syrian Muslim man, Ahmed al-Ahmed, heroically stopped one of the attackers, saving lives despite being shot twice.● The Qur’an teaches that killing an innocent person is like killing all humanity, while saving one life is like saving all humanity—these verses apply respectively to the attackers and to Ahmed al-Ahmed.● Social media can negatively affect spiritual life, especially when young people are misled by half-truths.● Misguiders often mix truth with falsehood to make their propaganda more convincing.● Imam ‘Ali (a) said doubts resemble truth, which is why they are dangerous.● Historical example: Mu‘awiyah used propaganda to shift blame for the death of ‘Ammar away from himself, claiming ‘Ali was responsible.● Imam ‘Ali countered by pointing out the absurdity of the argument, saying that by the same logic, the Prophet would be to blame for Hamzah’s death at Uhud.
