During the time of Prophet Musa a.s , the pharoah gathered all the magicians to compete with Nabi Musa a.s on magics. The magicians threw their sticks and people were in awed of what they saw "snakes like" in front of them. But beware! Its were "snakes like" and not the real snakes. However when Nabi Musa's stick turned to real snakes they were in denial saying that Nabi Musa practicing greater magic than them and it was not real.

The truth is we need to be careful with the modern magics a.k.a social media. The apps were created to be decieving the eyes , to make people see it is like real world that happening when its obviously not.
How can behind the screen becomes the real world? Absurd!
The interfaces of the apps are very pleasing to eyes, making us feel so into it and almost have this 'hipnosis' attraction. Causing us to spend hours, days and night not to realise how many time we had spent on them alone. This is called addiction. And its a very serious problem.
---
These modern magics can bring us apart from Allah, creating boundaries and separating us from our Creator IF WE AREN'T WISE USING THEM. What seems real are not yet we put so much effort liking them, staring at them, alerting ourselves to react to their likes button and other notifications. Little that we know, these modern magics cause mega destruction to our decenties and dignity. More, to our relationship to Allah directly or indirectly.

Also, Rasulallah SAW said that beware when people have many 'faces' over time. Back then during His time there were no smartphones and apps like nowadays but amazing right Rasulallah SAW able to advice us what we need to know in this modern milennium. Back then people have many 'faces' as being hipocrite and liars. Same goes to now. It just that things got hidden behind the screen. These people are called as Munafiq by Allah and His Prophets. One face behind another and different 'personality' on top of other apps. Dangerously, we all affected in this and we have to do something to be safe.

Islam never strain us from developing ourselves to changes over time in fact in Islam, it is compulsory to adapt to the changes over time so we can suit ourselves to new places, surrounding and technologies. It is not sin to use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other apps as long as we know the purpose of doing so and beware of time spend on these apps. Do not get dragged away, addicted or worst, losing pieces by pieces of yourselves, your faith to Allah, your belief to Islam and your identity over time. If it is what happens then its not the technologies fault instead its entirely ours.

Sharing is usually caring. But not in this matter-not at all. More or less, many lies are there in the invisible world. People spread and share fitnah and we commit to it too when we also do the sharing on line, verbally or indirectly.
---
Take time!
Take time to discover the true news. Take time to research the source. Take time to evaluate the situation whether you should or not hit the share button. In online world we are all on this together. Less or more, we could have a portion of sins or pahala in this.
---
Thers no harm to make effort before spreading the news , liking them or share them. It simply human nature to spread goodness but ONLY if it is the real goodness happened. Until then, always always always TAKE YOUR TIME, MAKE SOME EFFORT!
Don't be cause of this, our relationship with Allah Taala becomes dull as we put apps first before Allah, then our prayers are nit being answered, we might disobey Allah, we might be disappointing Allah and Prophets, we might ridiculed the Syari'e and the teachings in Islam, we might dissed the Ulama' and Wali Allah and many others.
---
Think!
When we want to post, talk, or share anything we often never consider how bad the indication of our action going to be. Thats the first and foremost mistake! Until we do it and the effects ripple over time, then we realised what we becoming actually.
---
Islam guides us to 'see' the effects before it happens yet very little of us want to follow it.
So before anything else, put Allah before ourselves. Then Insyallah, our life will have the clear guidelines to Jannah Insyallah.
