Social Media and its Devastating Effects on the Muslim Family

Abstract

Social media has become one of the reasons that contributed greatly to the dissolution of the family and the high rates of divorce in our Arab and Islamic countries, because it is not subject to binding politics or regulating laws. Rather, some of them were established specifically to serve political, sectarian, or commercial purposes. Hence, many of its users deviate from its primary purposes and main purposes, and this results in many devastating effects for the family and society alike. Thus, the Muslim family was exposed - because of these means - to a double danger and double harm, threatening its stability, diverting it from its reform and educational mission, and afflicting its members with many From psychological, intellectual, and moral diseases, in addition to the social damages, which requires states, institutions, scientists and researchers to work to prevent the dangers of these sites, and prevent their corruption, which is what this study rose to explain, and try to propose solutions to confront it.
