Uses and Abuses of Smartphone
Uses and Abuses of Smartphone
Introduction: There are many advantages as well as disadvantages of smartphones. But everything depends on its use. Just as we can be harmed by the misuse of smartphones, we can be able to benefit from it by taking advantage of it. That is why we are trying to bring some discussion on the aspects of misuse and misuse of smartphones in order to awaken the sense of responsibility in the minds of the conscious readers. But hopefully, there will be more discussion, analysis, and presentation of the right statement so that people from all walks of life can understand and follow the right direction.
First of all, we want to talk about abuses that are vital to our own well-being: Viewing Pornographic Pictures: This is a serious misuse of smartphones. Especially young boys and girls collect and store a lot of pornographic pictures on their smartphones and waste their time on the one hand and their character on the other hand. Pornography does not have to be this fast. They can be easily collected from mobile servicing shops. It is possible to download any picture at any time if you have the internet on your mobile. Many young adults spend their time watching pornography and have fun. This is indeed a very despicable act. However, if the collection of these pornographic pictures could be made more difficult, it would be possible to prevent the misuse of smartphones.
Taking Pictures Unnecessarily: Taking pictures or taking selfies for no reason has now become a disease of mobile users. Everyone from boys to old people is interested in this work. Islam never allows taking pictures without necessity. People who take pictures in this way are often not polite. Sometimes there is an immoral use of pictures. Many people upload hundreds of thousands of pictures on their smartphones which we do not understand.
Wasting Time on Facebook: Now no one goes to the computer to use Facebook. Students are wasting hours on Facebook using their smartphones. No one seems to be wasting their precious time on Facebook, forgetting everything about sports, travel, chatting with friends. According to a survey, one of the students is wasting about 2 hours on an average every day through Facebook. The matter is very alarming. This one work is enough to break the backbone of the nation. Therefore, we need to play a more conscious role towards the students and it is our essential duty to give them the right direction in a timely manner.
Misuse of Smartphones for Immoral Purposes: Misuse of smartphones for various immoral activities seems to be increasing day by day. Unmarried young men and women are intoxicated with illicit love by despising their parents and guardians. Moreover, this smartphone is spreading the net of extramarital affairs even among married people. Thus, smartphones are being misused everywhere for various immoral and anti-social activities. After being involved in adultery and rape, many people easily keep their video images on their smartphones and use them for illegal purposes. We often get such unexpected news through the media.
Smartphones in Case of Accidents: Smartphones sometimes make people stunned to the point of death. While using a smartphone, it is often seen that the train is cut or crushed by the wheel of the bus-truck and falls to its death. These are direct accidents. On the other hand, by using various immoral and unwanted uses of smartphones, for example, someone is rejected after making love with the addition of smartphones or even commits suicide due to extramarital affairs. We also know the incident of killing one's own child for fear of seeing one's own stranger and leaking it. These are accidents that occur indirectly through mobile.
At this stage we will highlight some of the benefits of using smartphones: Acquiring Islamic Knowledge: Acquiring Islamic knowledge can be the best use of the smartphone. Many software of Quran-Hadith and Islamic literature can be stored on mobile. Or you can study various commentary books, hadith books, and Islamic literature from home and abroad through the internet. If anyone is lagging behind in Islamic knowledge by taking advantage of this opportunity of technology, the responsibility actually falls on him.
Knowing the Flow of Events from Home and Broad: The flow of events from home and abroad can now be easily informed by directly contacting on a smartphone or through Facebook or by searching various websites by accessing the internet. Thus smartphones can play a significant role in making people aware and responsible.
Dealing with Propaganda: The unnecessary community is always ready to carry out propaganda in a Goebbels style against truth and justice. The task of revealing and elevating the truth by dealing with such conspiratorial propaganda can be done smoothly and efficiently through smartphones. One of the demands of the time is to present an accurate and acceptable statement, especially in the face of the recent evils against Islam and Islamic leaders and against the country and democracy.
Invitational Work Through Mobile: Invitational work on mobile has become much easier now. Again, it saves a lot of time. According to the plan, the invitee can be reached by talking on the smartphone and sending a message. A lot of invitational activities are being conducted using Facebook or blog by connecting the internet to mobile. Invitational work can also be done using different apps. In a word, a smartphone can be a great tool for your da'wah work.
Utilizing time by Making Good use of Mobile: Smartphones can be an important means to use the time for good work without wasting time on useless words and work. In the light of the Qur'an, we know that spending time on meaningless words and deeds cannot be a characteristic of a believer at all. So if you have free time, listen to the recitation of the Quran on your mobile. Especially those who travel to different places for work, they can do a necessary study using mobile on the way, listen to Islamic songs and speeches, at least you can check and update your mobile call list or e-mail. But it is not at all reasonable to pass the time sitting with folded hands.
Conclusion: Finally we request all our readers, as I said at the beginning, we have only tried to arouse people's feelings. We all have to come forward in an effort to play a role in social welfare by using this technology. We are appealing to the conscious individuals of society to make this effort worthwhile through appropriate speeches and writings.
