Viral content can be a reward or sin! Which one do you want? Check out the full guide based on authentic argument.

The digital era makes everyone viral in an instant. Tiktok video, Instagram reels, or YouTube shorts can trend worldwide. But have you ever thought: the viral that you made was to bring blessings or bring you? Let’s examine based on a strong argument!

Basic Principle: Intention to Determine Rewards

Rosululloh SAW said in a very famous hadith:

But the work is with the intentions, but it is for every one who has intended, so whoever was deserted to God and his messenger, then he will be pleased with him migration for our religion afflicts her or a woman who marries her, so he migrated to him to what he migrated to

“In Iinama al-A’mmaalu bin-niyyat, wa inama li kullii amri’in maa nawaa, fa man kanat hijratuhu ilallahi wa rasuulihii fa hijratuhu ilallahi wa rasuulihi, wa man kaanat hijratu li ilaih “

Meaning: “Indeed, the act depends on their intentions, and everyone will get the right one. Anyone who emigrates because of the messenger and messenger, then migrate to God and his messengers. (HR. Imam Bukhari and Muslim)

Types of viral content and the law

1. The content of kindness with the intention of riya ‘(showing off)

Law: Can not reward, even sin!

ALLOH SWT warns:

Oh, those who are safe, do not cancel your sincerity with people who come from people who are people who spend money, people from people, and people do not.

Meaning: “O you who believe! Don’t lose alms by mentioning it and hurting (the feelings of the recipient), as those who make wealth because people and they do not believe in God and a day later.” (Surah Al-Baqarah: 264)

2. Da’wah content and sincere education

Law: The reward that continues to flow!

Rosululloh SAW said:

Anyone who calls the guidance will have a gift like their wages that follow it, this is not reduced from their wages, and anyone who calls him from those who call those who call for the sake of those who follow them, nothing happens.

“Mon law of corner law along the Numer Ainssuaa-Pejuy Man other people becomes other people towards the law of yainkshus dazalical mine who obey the law and what people do to confuse the sense of contraweightyothamah!

Meaning: “Anyone who calls guidance, so for him a gift from those who follow it, does not reduce their gifts. And anyone who calls mistakes, then that is for the sin of those who follow it, do not reduce their sins.” (HR. Muslim Imam)

3. Negative and immoral content

Law: Fingerprints continue to grow!

This includes content that violates Islamic manners such as disrespectful dancing, jokes that harass religion, or show their genitals. His sins continue to grow every time someone watching and imitating.

MUI Fatwa About Social Media Content

Based on MUI Fatwa No. 24/2017, content that is prohibited from pregnancy:

1. Ghibah – Talking about the ugliness of others
2. Slander and sheep
3. Bullying and hate speech
4. Content that violates honor
5. Spread of fake news (hoax)

Real case: viral vs blessing

Trending “viral but not halal food”

Many restaurants are viral because of good food but apparently not halal certified. MUI reminded: “Don’t just follow the viral, make sure it is also halal!”

Controversial AI Videos

The Central Java Muhammadiyah PW Tabligh Council issued a firm response to AI video viral content about misleading hell.

Tips for making a blessing viral content

1. Intend because of Allah

Before making the contents, straighten the intention. SWT SWT says:

And when they are ordered, but to worship God, who will be blessed with Him

Meaning: “They are only ordered to worship God sincerely to obey it solely because (practicing) religion, and also to pray and perform zakat; (QS. Al-Bayyinah: 5)

2. Choose a useful theme

• Tutorial on worship that is easy to understand
• Motivation of Life Based on the Qur’an and Hadith
• Inspirational Islamic History Education
• Halal and Thayyib Health Tips

2. Pay attention to syar’i ethics

• Dress politely and close the genitals
• Use a polite language and not hurt
• Respect the privacy of others
• Avoid excessive music and content

2. Verification of information

SWT SWT says:

Hey, who is safe, if you come to you, then you will become a prophet, so you will see that they will be blessed with ignorance, so you will not be happy.

“Oh Ayyahal-Ladziina Amanuu in Jaa’akum Fasiqun Bi Naba’in Fatalau An Tusibu Qamam Bii Bii Jaalaatin

Meaning: “O Believers! If someone who is wicked comes to you bring a news, then examine the truth, so that you do not harm a people because of ignorance (carelessness), which you finally regret for your actions.” (Surah Al-Hujurat: 6)

Content that gets the reward of Jariyah

Based on the hadith mentioned above, content that helps people learn religion, do good, or get closer to Allah will get the reward of Jariyah. Everyone inspired by your content to do good, you can reward it too!

CLOSING: Viral with a blessing

Viral is neutral. What determines the reward or sin is its intention and contents. If you want a blessing viral:

• Intention because of AllahNot looking for popularity
• Useful content and does not violate sharia
• Consistent With Islamic teachings
• Always self -correction If there is an error

Remember, every content you post will be a witness on the Day of Judgment. Do you want to be a witness who gives a shapphic or even burdensome scales of sin? The decision is in your hands!

Hope it is useful. Wallohu a’lam.
