Responsibilities of a Muslim In Dealing with Information

  • Our religion teaches us that it is our duty to evaluate the accuracy of any news or information we receive, whether from friends, websites, social media, or other sources.
  • Given the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this task is even more crucial. It is incredibly easy for irresponsible individuals to spread false information in order to gain popularity or to get “Likes” on their social media posts or accounts. Therefore, it is crucial that we assess every information we encounter objectively rather than emotionally.
