Category: Lifestyle / Technology
We live in an era of constant notifications. Our phones buzz with emails, news updates, and social media likes. While technology has made life easier, it has also introduced a new challenge: Distraction. How does the modern Muslim maintain Khushu (focus/humility) in worship when the world is constantly demanding their attention?
The Double-Edged Sword
Technology is a tool, and like any tool, its impact depends on how we use it. It can be a source of distraction, pulling us away from remembrance of Allah (Dhikr). However, it can also be a powerful facilitator of good deeds.
Scholars have noted that utilizing technology to track prayer times, calculate Zakat, or memorize Quran is a form of utilizing modern blessings for spiritual gain. The key is intentionality.
3 Tips for a Spiritual Digital Detox
- Curate Your Feed: Follow accounts that remind you of Allah and inspire good character.
- Silence for Salah: Use "Do Not Disturb" modes during prayer times to ensure your connection with the Creator is uninterrupted.
- Use "Halal Tech" Wisely: Replace mindless scrolling with apps that add value to your Akhirah (afterlife).
