Social Media Adab – Protecting Iman Online

Date: August 20, 2025

Introduction

In today's digital age, social media has become a part of our daily lives—connecting us, informing us, and often distracting us. As Muslims, our responsibility doesn't end when we go online; in fact, it increases. Islam teaches us adab (etiquette) for every sphere of life, including how we use our tongues, eyes, and hands. Since social media amplifies all three, protecting our Iman online is more crucial than ever. By practicing prophetic guidance, we can ensure that our online presence is pleasing to Allah ﷻ and beneficial for others.
