Use social media without losing faith
In one sentence
The khutbah argues that Muslims, especially parents and youth, should resist social media’s spiritual and mental-health traps by choosing beneficial content, limiting screen time, prioritizing prayer and family guidance, and using technology for good.
The khutbah in 6 steps
- Introduces Allah’s promises of Jannah for humble obedience and warns of the Fire.
- Uses Qur’anic depictions of Satan disowning those who followed his temptations.
- Contrasts Qarun’s wealth with contentment and responsible use of money.
- Warns about social media’s effects on faith, mental health, sleep, attention, and family relationships.
- Urges youth to curate their feeds and limit screen time, especially before bed.
- Closes by affirming beneficial social-media advocacy and praying for suffering communities.
