Wa alaykum Assalam Warahmatullahi wabarakatahu
Dear Sister… Instagram is just another form of social networking. This article covers instagram also. Any forms of activities that lead to wastage of time and earning the displeasure of Allah through abandoning of Hijab and other points mentioned in the article… should be given up for the sake of Allah.

Salam Alykum Sim,
I believe the niyyah with which you go to social media matters. This great article tacitly tells those who want to do dawah on social media have to be strategic about it. I personally know people who became Muslims through posts on social media. But what good is it if you bring people into the fold of Islam while your own acts are gradually becoming values because of some level of riyya that might crop up into your mind?
I also believe dawah workers should embrace social media. They, however, have to treat it intelligently. There should be time to learn, time to teach and time to relate with their own families and relative.
So, for example, before you post anything on the “socials”, renew your niyyah that you want to teach people about your topic. Then read more about the topic. Take copious notes and note the point. Never post until you have revised your notes. Then take just one point re-write it in your own word.
Express the idea in not more than 30 words. And post. Every time you do this, you are not only learning before teaching, you are also growing productively. And people will always want to read your posts on the premises that you don’t post rubbish. They probably will want to reach out to you to become their mentor. Remember this: Always learn before you post. Always post meaningfully and short. Hope this helps.
