In this digital age, almost every second we interact with social media. But did you know, it turns out that online activities can be changed into a reward field that flows to the afterlife? Rosululloh SAW has provided a clear guide about this.

MAIN PRIVATE: HADITS Amal Jariyah

Abu Hurairah Rodhiyallohu ‘Anhu narrated that Rosululloh SAW said:

If someone dies, his work is cut off except from three: except from the charity of the servant, or knowledge that is useful for it, or the goodness of the truth

“Idzaa math insane unqat’a’a ‘illa min’s tsalatsine: a small shnadqatin joint, Behi Nuend who is’ ilming, far from whatever shalyching where lahu”

Meaning: “When a man dies, his actions are cut off except for three things: fingers, useful knowledge, and good children who pray for it.” (HR. Muslim Imam)

Sequence of spread of knowledge

Rasulullah (may be peaceful) also said to Abdullah bin Amr bin Ash Rodhiyallohu ‘Anhu:

They reach me and a verse, and they talk about Israeli children, or embarrassing, and anyone who lies to me is deliberate, let him be seen

“Ballight ‘Anni though Ayatan, Wa Hadditsu’ An Bani Israila Wa La Haraja, Wa Man Kadzaba ‘Alayya Muta’amidan Falatabawa’ Maq’adahu Minan Naar”

It means: “Tell me only for one sentence, and tell the children of Israel, and anyone who lies on my name on purpose, be prepared to have their chairs in hell.” (Hours. Bukhari)

Practical way to change social media into a charity field

1. Share Quality Islamic Content

Every time you share the verses of the Qur’an, Sahih Hadith, or true religious advice, you are spreading useful knowledge that the reward continues to flow.

2. Online funds for good

The digital platform makes it easy for us to donate for mosques, education, or help others. This includes alms that are sustainable.

3. Create Creative Da’wah Content

Allah SWT says in the Qur’an:

And you have a country that needs good and rule the well

“Waltakum Mingkum People Yad’uuna Ilal-Khairi wa Ya’muruuna Bil-Ma’ru and Wa Yan-Hauna ‘Anil-Mungkar, Wa Ulaa’ika Humul-Muflihuun”

Meaning: “There should be some of you who call well, ask for good, and prevent the wrong. Those who are lucky.” (Surah Ali Imran Verse 104)

Da’wah Method on Social Media

ALLOH SWT also provides guidelines for preaching methods:

Leave your Lord with wisdom and preach, and argue with them with what is good for you with guidance

“Ud’u Look the nation of Allah is the birds of Wal-Hikma Wa-Mau’izhal-Hasanati wa Jadil-Jussan Billatii Hiya Ahsan, Inna Rabbia Huwa A’lamu Biman Dllamu Bimanu Bimanu Bimanu Bimanu

Meaning: “Call humans to the path of your Lord with good wisdom and teaching, and argue with them in a good way. Indeed, people who know who is lost from his way and he knows who is guided.” (QS. An-Nahl Verse 125)

Islamic social media tips

Based on MUI Fatwa No. 24/2017, Avoid content that contains ghibah, slander, bullying, and things that violate Islamic adab.

Therefore, social media can be the best investment at this time. From now on, change your timeline into a reward field of Jariyah. Remember, every kind of kindness that you share can be a charity whose reward continues to flow until you die. So, still want to waste time without benefits?

Hope it is useful. Wallohu a’lam.
