Unless the usage of those mediums are for productive and good causes [islamic, charity, organization, etc ...], I think it's all a waste of a time!

Facebook, myspace, and the likes of them introduces young people to unnecessary fitnah and temptation, specifically dealing with opposite danger.

Aside from that, too much idle talk for me! Not to mention I witnessed some men transform themselves into girls. I see guys doing forward messages "send this to 10 people or your love will leave you" and becoming blogging guru about the lamest topics.

Yes, I admitt I'm guilty of having a myspace previously, and currently I have facebook but I only keep brothers from my local Masjid or just close friends. I log on once every 2 months or so.

Anyway, I personally dislike it :D

I agree its a waste of time and i too had accounts but alhamdulilah i saw how much time i wasted on that fitnah open mixing on internet is the same in person subhanallah

i hope Allah guides and protects all muslims from that because if you ask people why they say i only speak to my friends or its not that bad its only online but they dont see the damage it can do.....it will eventually lead to heedlessness in other matters of thier life:astag: my personal experience and outlook on this matter is if you dont benefit cut it out.

YES sister i understand what you saying i too used to have family and sisters i know from school but i personally know myself these websites distract me and if you r a person that doesnt get easily distracted then no problem but i know many people start off with friends and family and slowly creep in strangers so i just cut it off completely, my family can email me tho, i just think prevention is better that cure:hijabi:

salaam.

i am also in facebook. but Praise Allah im not addicted to it.
if u have an account only for ur friends and family i dont see anything wrong in that.

but i dont contradict with bro/sis who mentioned that they r extremely distracting and tempting. until recently there are so many hate groups & forums against islam in facebook which was very disturbing.

my suggestion is that if u dont have an account already, better keep away from it.
May Allah guide us in right path.

I do have facebook and I don't think it's bad idea to have one simply because my intention is to continue communicating with me friends. They also have great Muslim groups that promote Islamic teachings. I think it's very benefitional because you're not just getting knowledge from the group you're also making friends that love Allah and are tying to be close to him. Salams

:salam2: I have facebook too, at the beginning I kept on going on it but now i'm not too bothered about it to be honest. However when I get friend requests or messages from my inbox from strangers, then I just ignore them or write to them saying, "Ermm I don't know you!" :D

from my point of view i think hi5 is not nice.there is no privacy.anyone can see ur page but in facebook there are useful groups to join.it talks about religion and other useful things in life.you can meet your friends and your old friends in high school or university.there is more privacy than hi5 or bebo.
