 الشيطان يستخدمه ويستخدمه في كل مجال في هذه الأحيان في حتى أن يجب أن ينقذ الناس لأنه سيكون بسيطة لأنه يجب أن يكون بسيطة لكي يستخدم الحياة من الناس ويجب أن ينقذ الناس لكي يستخدمهم وإن this is a great sin in the eyes of Allah سبحانه وتعالى إذا إسلام لا يفرنشي إيطاقا لأنك تتعامل مع شخصا لا يجب أن ينقذهم ويجب أن يكون بسيطة لكي يستخدمهم لا يجب أن يكون بسيطة لكي يستخدمه ويجب أن يكون بسيطة ويجب أن يكون بسيطة لكي يستخدمهم the first is with regards to the impact as far as verbal and nonverbal communication is concerned this is a challenge that is facing everybody on the method of communication and its decline that more and more people are losing the art of verbal communication and face to face communication number one number two what are the challenges it is causing today you have in these mediums and others abbreviations yes you have emotionless statements meaning what meaning that for example sometimes you and I receive a message which is all in capital letters immediately we think well what's wrong with this person is he angry yes does that mean they're angry or sometimes someone sends a message and it's one word thinking they're not very happy with us yes there is this constant judgment that goes on in our minds when we receive these messages because there's a lot of abbreviations isn't and therefore is that this is dangerous in some particular way in that it is taking the emotion out of a conversation and a tool and a method of conversation or communication and therefore leaves a lot for people to become judgmental and base certain opinions when it comes to people communicating isn't it because the emotional side has been taken out of it or the nonverbal application of it is not there therefore you find that one of the etiquettes and the adab when we are using these particular mediums is to have yes what does that mean الله سبحانه وتعالى says يا أيها الذين آمنوا اجتني بو كثيرا من الضن إن بعض الضني إثن oh you who believe most of suspicion you must avoid because some of it is actually sinful when you and I receive a message or we are in a group sometimes it's a heated discussion isn't it people have said something about a particular مرجع or they've said something about a particular belief or they've said something about a particular football team or whatever and it gets very heated and people sometimes become angry and emotional about it right this has not done and thinking the best about the others is of the utmost importance امير مؤمنين says every time a believer says to you something if there is the smallest chance of giving them the benefit of the doubt you should even the smallest how many times we've come across a narration that says give your believing brothers and sisters 70 excuses I tell you sometimes not even a half an excuse we give yes 70 excuses less for example they've had a bad day or they don't mean it the way it's presented in a particular message isn't it so I remember I read that once a lady a wife said to her husband she said to him you know your friends they are unloyal friends they are people who are truly not good friends he said to her why she said because look at our state now when we were rich they used to contact you ask about you now when we are poor they're not even asking about you what kind of friends they are look at the house of van he said to her no they actually have good أخلاق she said what are you talking about he said to her because when we had wealth they knew that they would come and visit and it would not be a burden upon us and we would be generous now they do not wish to pressurize us or put us in difficulty because they know our wealth is less look at how he switched it around yes as far as حسن الغن is concerned another key feature that sadly we see is sometimes the increase in backbiting slander mocking of people in these particular mediums that we find sometimes people forget the fact that Allah سبحانه وتعالى is watching them and they subject the believers to all kinds of different mockery and at the same time speak ill of them one realization is that the religion of Islam says that belief has a حرمة our holy beloved prophet محمد صلى الله عليه و آله و سلم in a narration he says to the holy ka'ba by Allah the believer has more sacredness than you and points towards the ka'ba yes that the narration states من أذلّا مؤمنا أذلّه الله whomesoever disgraces a believer Allah will disgrace them the believer has sacredness in the eyes of Allah سبحانه وتعالى by our fifth imam محمدن الباكر صلى الله عليه و سلامه عليه and a beautiful narration says it is incumbent upon the believers to protect each other as far as 70 great sins is concerned this is found in وصائل الشيعة that's one about authentic books up to 70 not small sins the great sins to protect them and make sure the sins are not spread to make sure that they do not backbite them what is happening out there is because people feel that they sometimes can do whatever they wish so they forward images or they speak ill of certain individuals especially when it comes to scholars speakers, leaders of the community sometimes I look at these messages on different mediums such as Facebook or WhatsApp or other places and I'm surprised they have a relentless attack and the mockery and the usage of certain terms and the posting of certain videos and certain images yes, you don't like a particular speaker taking selfies that doesn't mean you are there to attack them and send pictures about them and mock them who gives them the right to do this yes, if you have a problem with a speaker or a scholar go to them send them a message in private say to them you know why did you say this in a match list why is it that you're conducting this way have we somehow all of a sudden forgotten the rules and regulations within the religion of Islam just because we are in front of a keyboard or in front of our smartphones we sometimes have the audacity and do you know what it is we have iPads and we have iMacs and we have iPhones wallahi we have iShaytan the shaytan is there and utilizes in every opportunity in these instances in order to somehow break the human being because it's very easy you hiding behind the screen you can dissect the life of other human beings and spread rumors about them and distort their image and indeed this is a great sin in the eyes of Allah سبحانه و تعالى one of the wives of the holy prophet her name was صفيابين تحي yes her forefathers and her father were Jewish from the Jewish faith she used to be mocked used to laugh at her she came and complained to the holy prophet do you know what the holy prophet said to her he said to her go and tell them who is like me my uncle my father is Haroon and my uncle is Musa and my husband is Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم at the same time chapter 49 verses 11 to 12 inform us of the fact that we should not be mocking people there for example surnames or giving them nicknames that they are not happy with ولا تنابزوا بالقاب الله سبحانه و تعالى says don't make a mockery of each other as far as this element is concerned we have to be observant yes we have to ensure that if we are true followers of the Ahl al-Bait we monitor our conduct offline and online nobody gives us the permission to somehow do whatever we want and state whatever we want and attack and condemn people who have served the member of الله for so many years yes they are fallible they make mistakes yes but it doesn't give people anyone the right to utilize these tools these means in order to somehow distort their image character assassinate them and spread rumors and falsify for example their statements that's another key feature that we have to be careful when we are on these particular mediums a third point of great importance is what is with regards to the existence of what is known as keyboard مجاهد who are these they are people who will pounce on every opportunity when there is a debate when there is for example a question that is being posed in a group or on particular platforms or medium such as facebook they will jump on this opportunity and they will spend hours but in this process they will not reach anywhere they will attack this person they will mock this person they will misuse a particular reference they are just there to somehow boost and massage their own ego and therefore this is a very dangerous area yes sometimes people feel the need to comment about everything and to reply about everything and somehow to get involved in every process incidentally an important part if somebody sends you a message and for example you do not respond do not immediately judge them I remember once an individual sent me a message for two days I did not respond some of us get a lot of messages I am unable to respond to all of them Allahu Akbar all arrogance and these kind of things but give the people benefit of their doubt maybe they are ill maybe they have not even though there is a boutique I came across or read it very quickly but the idea is therefore that sometimes people do not give others an opportunity or a chance and there are these individuals who for everything that they have they want to spread without any control meaning what any statement they spread or image they spread and they share across whatsapp or twitter or facebook without any control limitation without investigating is this from the Imam is this actually from the Prophet did this marja or scholar actually say this or not they feel the need to somehow spread everything and they say well its not my concern or it is not really I am not responsible I am just sharing this with you but you are the tool by which this is being shared by people isn't it that when you and I spread these messages or these so called statements and you know I always say is the most individual who has been oppressed in social media do you know why every statement have it there and stick and share it and people it is beautiful how do you know how do we overcome this make sure you find the reference at least if somebody wants to find out did Amir say this or not there is a reference for them to go and investigate it doesn't mean that that particular narration is absolutely authentic or acceptable but if there is a reference at least they can refer but when you and I have this impulsive need sometimes or desire to forward and to make sure we spread whatever we received we have to know on the day of judgment hold them they are responsible if God forbid somebody gets a wrong idea when something is spread or sent they will be held accountable likewise if for example we spread a rumor or we backbite someone and it spread through social media the sins multiply no doubt about that we have to keep that into consideration amongst this group there are the fitna mongers any opportunity to cause division disunity hatred between the people any opportunity to somehow defame individuals yes they will utilize they will manipulate they will seize to pray on the minds that are weak within particular different platforms sometimes they will weaken the faith of individuals of people within certain groups sometimes they will question established matters in faith sometimes they wish to just simply cause a stare and we have to be observant and vigilant about
