“Social media – you know that it is harmful. We all know it causes addiction. We know it damages our family relationships, our social relationships, and even affects our work and businesses. It is causing harm, and you are aware of it. When you know all this and still continue using it in the same way, what else can it be called except foolishness? The only solution is to have firm determination that you will not fall into these harmful practices.”

Khalifatul Masih V · Concluding Address, Lajna Ima'illah UK National Ijtema (6,800+ attendees) · Old Park Farm, Kingsley, UK

“Even in schools, very small children are being taught inappropriate and immoral things, which they are far too young to comprehend. As a result, children, from a very young age, are being conditioned by their schools and the wider society into a secular way of thinking and away from religious values and teachings... These days, even children's cartoons or computer games include storylines or characters that are wholly inappropriate and take away children's innocence.”

Khalifatul Masih V · Same address as #25 — concluding Lajna Ima'illah UK Ijtema address · Old Park Farm, Kingsley, UK

“It is essential that Ahmadi Muslim parents develop a genuine friendship and mutual trust with their children from the very beginning. Whilst this is the duty of both parents, it is especially incumbent on Ahmadi Muslim mothers to forge a loving and close bond with their children and to instil religious values within them. You should encourage your children to talk to you freely and openly. Children are naturally curious and it is the duty of a mother to answer their questions.”

“It is the manner of dialogue that Islam promotes. But to smear and mock – resting on vile, fallacious ad hominem arguments – will never be, and never was, the guiding light of discourse within Islam Ahmadiyyat. After all, the Holy Quran teaches us to “speak kindly” ... and to “show justice” even against one's enemy.”

It found that amongst those children in the UK who had suicidal thoughts, 13% admitted that it was their use of Instagram that had driven them to consider taking their own life.”

“Women should not display their pictures on their profiles – not only the girls [but also] grown-up women, those who are mature, those who have attained their age of maturity because that can harm them. There are quite a number of men who are not of good nature, they can take advantage of their profile pictures by using them somewhere which is not appropriate... you should not permit men to misuse your profile, your picture or they blackmail you somewhere or they contact you and then you will be in trouble.”

“Advising those who are engaged in such bad habits, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V (may Allah be his Helper) stresses that attention should be paid to remembrance of Allah, Istighfar, Durood, and prayers... pornography damages a person psychologically by putting him into the habit of objectifying women, and the human body in general. Further, it creates a view of sexuality that is far removed from reality.”
