مسلم عائلی نظام کی تشکیل و تخریب میں سوشل میڈیا کا کردار: تجزیاتی مطالعہ
THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE FORMATION AND DISRUPTION OF THE MUSLIM FAMILY SYSTEM: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY
Keywords:
Muslim Family System, Social Media, Islamic Ethics, Digital Behavior & Media Literacy, Family Disruption.Abstract
In the modern digital age, social media has emerged as a powerful force influencing individual behaviors and social structures, including the traditional Muslim family system. This study aims to analytically examine the dual role of social media in both the formation and disruption of Muslim familial values and relationships. The research employs a qualitative methodology, combining content analysis of social media platforms with scholarly literature and case studies to evaluate the extent of its impact.
The study explores how social media fosters connectivity, strengthens communication among family members, and provides platforms for religious education and emotional support. Conversely, it also highlights how unregulated usage contributes to moral decline, privacy violations, trust issues, and the weakening of marital and parental bonds.
The significance of this research lies in its attempt to balance modern digital engagement with the ethical and spiritual framework of Islam. The study underscores the need for a structured and faith-based approach to digital interaction, especially within Muslim households. It suggests educational programs, community-based awareness campaigns, and the integration of Islamic media literacy as solutions to mitigate adverse effects.
In conclusion, while social media is an inevitable part of modern life, its influence on the Muslim family system can either be constructive or corrosive, depending on how it is used. The study calls for a proactive, value-based approach to harness its benefits while protecting the sanctity of the Muslim home.
