Spreading Islam from Internet & using facebook In Islam

 === Spreading Islam from Internet & using facebook In the Islam ===

Question:Is using Facebook allowed or should Muslims boycott it?

== Answer About Using Facebook In Islam ===

Through Facebook, good deeds are also done and bad deeds are also done. Thus, the ruling about Facebook will be according to how

it is used. There is a principle in the Shariah: Dealings are according to their aims.

If we abandon these things, there is a chance that this will lead to even dangerous consequences. On the other hand, if we oppose them using the same thing, then at least to an extent, we can answer the objections against Islam. How nice it would be that good is spread from the very source from where evil is spread.

If Muslims keep using this, then when the need arises, a step taken there can be very useful.

== Spreading Islam through Internet ==

Another matter regarding the Internet which is associated with the preconditions of the Hour is the saying of the Prophet as in the book of Imaam Ibn Hibbaan : “Lying will spread.” A liar will be punished in his grave by having his face ripped down to his rectum, because of how his lies spread among people. Nowadays, one can lie and publish this on the Internet, and it would spread from the east to the west in an instant.

A recent survey states that the number of users on the internet  are more than billion people, and the number is increasing extremely rapidly. 77% of the Americans say that they have benefited from it, 44% say they cannot live without it, and 87% use it to call and contact their relatives. The Internet has entered the Arab and Islamic world, but there are two obstacles which obstruct it from being used freely in these countries:

It contains many means that one can take advantage of in the propagation of Islam and calling people to Allaah.

A question arises: how can we benefit from the Internet in the field of propagating Islam? 

Our presence on the internet is very weak, which is a shame for a Nation that is supposed to be the best nation ever sent out to mankind. I am addressing here those people who have a real concern for spreading Islam, and not just anyone.

Islam is a religion which is a mercy to mankind; it is the only religion which Allaah accepts from people as Allaah subhana tala Says : 

“Whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him.” [Quran 3: 85]

If we acknowledge that Islam must become the international religion which all people should adopt, we must convey it to mankind using all available means and methods. We will not reign supreme if we fail to utilize all means to make this religion dominate, or else we will be forsaking Islam and not supporting it. We are commanded by Allaah to explain Islam to the masses and we must have the sense of responsibility to spread this religion worldwide, to the best of our ability.

Spreading and propagating Islam via the Internet is something which cannot escape us. Even with simple planning and limited resources we can establish projects to propagate Islam and present them to people, which will have very beneficial results. Thus, we must have the eagerness to address the hearts of people and try to convey to them the light of Islam.

 

And Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) and his prophet RasoolAllah Sallallahu alyhi wa sallam knows best.

Some UnEducated folks Raised this baseless objections and its Answered in the Light of Islamic shariah Alhamdulillah.
