Abstract

Taking into account the major development of various kinds of social media channels and the convenient access of every individual without restrictions or regulations, the life has become meaningless without these devices. Specifically in the digital age of global interconnectedness, the life of every individual is almost impossible without the internet connection. Along with that, the sensitivity of this topic is in relation to the social and ethical values, which are neglected and overlooked. Although, some scholars do not prefer the digital openness due to multiple reasons, social media has become a significant part of every aspect of humans’ life, especially in the current situation, of global epidemic.Furthermore, the role of the religious consultative media is enlarged because it is easily achievable. It also makes the required knowledge easily found instead of reading a whole book or hearing a full video or recording. The importance of media is also understood in the fact that the satiric portrayal or caricature of e.g. the Prophet (P.B.U.H) or the Holy Quran could be debated through the similar approaches used by the debaters and the similar theoretical mindsets of the atheists. The second importance is that, both the global interconnectedness and the visual media systems have been playing their roles in spreading hostility, violence and indecency crossing the continents and the geographical boundaries. The third significance is in the duality of the media purposes between the paid sponsored advertisements and conveying the news keeping in mind relating it to reality and considering the social needs. Therefore, the purpose of the present research paper is to study the issue through the lens of the scholars and Religious knowledge and their solutions. It also throws light on multiple matters, which made the content non-recognizable as the outer look. Some people have been taking the main decisions in a department that is open to the public eyes; hence the mistakes are looked for and highly noticed. The synopsis is consisted of the introduction, three main points and the conclusion. (1)The introduction: the significance of the topic and the cause of it.(2)First part: definitions (3)Second part: the relation of Media and religion through the biography of the Prophet (P.B.U.H). (4) Third part: the purposes of Islamic media in the confrontation of terrorism and indecency.
