Generally, the negative effects of media and social media are numerous, but it
is not only the role of the Muslims and the role of religion as Islam but also
with the benefit of the plays. There is no technology product or technical
development, which is not usable for Islam. But remember that everything can be
used in good work, and it can be used for evil purposes. The fault is not about
things or technology. Rather, the user is basically responsible.
In this era of the excellence of information technology, there has been an
opportunity for the call of Tawhid to spread the message to the callers of
Allah in the way of Allah. By utilizing this opportunity, the teachings of the
Quran and Sunnah have to be delivered to the door of the door. The beauty of
Islam must be highlighted to the public. The challenge of ignorance must be
reached and the Quranic light should be delivered everywhere. And that effort
requires everyone to participate. Allah will give us the gift of Islam to
spread the message of Islam.
