The growing trend of misusage of Internet in Society, It’s causes, negative effects and there prevention in the light of Islamic Teachings

Abstract

In the era of modern technology, the Internet and digital media have undoubtedly brought great convenience to human life; however, they have also given rise to profound moral and social challenges. Among these, the most alarming trend is the easy accessibility of online pornographic content among the youth. In developing Islamic societies such as Pakistan, this issue is not merely an individual or moral weakness but has emerged as a deep social and psychological crisis.

This research examines the factors contributing to the increasing tendency of Pakistani youth to access pornographic material, explores its moral and social consequences, and discusses the practical and intellectual strategies that can be adopted to curb this tendency in the light of Islamic teachings. From the Islamic perspective, obscenity is not only a moral offense but also the root cause of spiritual and social decline. The Qur’an and Hadith contain explicit injunctions against such immorality, aiming to safeguard both individual character and social harmony.

This study emphasizes that the state, educational institutions, parents, and religious scholars in Pakistan must collectively initiate a comprehensive reform movement to protect the younger generation from this hidden yet destructive phenomenon.
