Social issue has now become a dilemma of our society. So far the list of social issues in Pakistan is long. Poverty, unemployment, economic crises and the list goes on. Do you know another social issue that is silently prevailing in our society but nobody has thought about it? That is the use of social media. I am compelled to write this blog after my experience of visiting different facebook pages and the interests of our new generation. For many it could be just a piece of information, but it's an alarming situation for those who have trust on the next generation. Today, I can feel that I am a part of a society that is distracting from the right path.
Let me put an example here.Have you ever seen the pages which are on the name of Prophets? Do check them you will be shocked that how marketing is being done by using the name of Prophets. Do you think that it is ethical when you see in your news feed that Hazrat Ali (AS) updated a status?

Alaaaas!!! I am worried what will be the future of this false tactic of advertising.. Many of you now have a question in your mind that what's bad in giving Islamic education through facebook. I totally agree that social media is a tool that can make information viral within seconds but what is more problematic is their authenticity. Everybody knows very well that social media is the most unreliable source of media. If you have a liberty of speech on such a huge platform counts, then reliability is another question. Who is going to monitor all the facts? How you will judge that the post being done is authentic or it's not an anti-islamic propaganda? Friends think on a very serious node. Things are not going on the right way.Furthermore, I need to emphasize on one more thing, the entertainment is good but once entertainment cross the limits of respect, it can lead to a failure and a downfall.
It's a very long debate which has no end but by scrutinizing it we should think of some solutions. The piece of information that I have shared with you is based on my experience. May be you have a different story but my story have some connection with the reality. Give it a thought!!!
