Mindless Scrolling - Quiz Competition Winner: Huda Elidrisi
Please take a look at the image and articulate your thoughts. Thoughts should be backed up by Ayahs from the Quran and/or Hadiths of the Prophet PBUH. Most social media platforms are using a new type of content consisting of 10 to 20 second video clips which one can scroll endlessly through. These platforms and the trends they promote, such as tiktok, are becoming very prominent amongst todays youth, and have become an addiction of many, often being referred to as "doom-scrolling." These platforms with this type of content usually have little to no filters. What do you think was the intention of big companies when creating these platforms? Were they seeking to benefit or harm the youth? Why? What is the affect of this new wave of content on our Ummah today? How has the cultures promoted through such types of content affected our youth, and how might it affect future generations? How does this unfiltered access to content affect the development of our youth, in reference to maturing into young men and women of Islam? How can we make this into a positive asset for our Ummah? What are some concrete steps we can take to lessen the negative effect of social media and "doom-scrolling?" All thoughts are welcome!
