Social media connects us, inspires us, but it can also quietly hurt our relationships if we’re not careful.
Here’s how social media is impacting Muslim marriages:
Unrealistic Expectations
Seeing "perfect" couples online can make us feel like our own marriage is lacking. But real love isn’t always photo-worthy, it’s about patience, compromise, and sincerity.
Lack of Privacy
Sharing every detail of your relationship can invite unwanted opinions or even evil eye (nazar). Islam teaches us to protect the privacy of our homes.
Emotional Boundaries
Private chats, follows, or DMs with non-mahrams can slowly cross lines, what starts as “innocent” can damage trust. Modesty isn’t just physical; it’s emotional too.
Time Drain
Too much scrolling = less connection. Put the phone down and spend quality time with your spouse. Love grows offline.
In short : Social media isn’t haram, but it should never replace real connection, trust, or the values Islam teaches us in marriage
