PROJECT ON SOCIAL NETWORKING BY

ABID RANESH

Social network one of the most used

communication media between people.
Nowadays, many research’s on the effect of use
social network in teaching and learning, some
concentrate on Islamic impacts on students. This
study, focus on the effects of social network on
serving, and publishing
Islam. In this study, the
main purposes included
studies in which field
students benefit from
social network, making
the Islamic information accessible over the
world for Muslims, and non-Muslims, also to
clarify the Islamic issues, wrong thoughts, and
misunderstanding of non-Muslims about Islam
 The popularity of social media platforms in the
Arab World has led some scholars to expect its
impact on religious life to rise. The common
argument is that social media has the potential
to change people’s religiosity and practices of
piety. The impact of social media on religious
behaviours of individuals and communities in
environments characterised by conservatism and
traditionalism, it is
argued, will be
more profound than
in environments
characterised by
liberalism and
openness.
Communicating
and winning the hearts and minds of believers
and non-believers through da’wa is a central
commitment for many Muslims and Islamic
leaders. Today, social media has become an
invaluable means to pursue the path
 of da’wa and the dissemination of the Muslim
thoughts. Only very few voices condemn the use
of the new digital media as incompatible with
Islamic practices.
For instance, Abdul Aziz Al Shaikh, Grand
Mufti in Saudi Arabia, advances a critical stance
towards social media platforms such as
Facebook and Twitter because, as he says, they
disseminate lies and may destroy established

relationships in the real world. In a similar line,

religious authorities in some Islamic countries
issued fatwas against the use of social media
like Twitter, arguing for its incompatibility
with shari’a because of trading accusations and
promoting lies.
While some of the Islamic religious leaders
advise their followers not to use social media
platforms, the overwhelming majority of
scholars and preachers capitalise on the
effectiveness and efficiency of social media in
engaging with the community of believers and
enhance their fidelity and loyalty.
During the first
generation of the
Internet, there were
some traditional
websites like Islam
Online that acted as
a one stop-shop for
religious information and comprehensive
services to the Islamic ummah.
