Abstract
Islam is a dynamic religion and Information Technology (IT) is a modern
tool to solve many problems in the real world. This paper pinpoints areas where
Information Technology can be used for Islam under the guidance of Qurān and
Sunnah. Some areas where computer has already been in use are discussed here.
How can we, the religious people benefit from Information Technology and other
such modern inventions? What boundaries and limitations should we observe
while using computer and other electronic inventions according to shariah. We
shall focus the benefits that we can draw from the use of Information Technology
in the field of Islam and what service can we render to Islam and its preaching by
utilizing such things. Apart from this, we will also discuss the negative use of
Information Technology in the light of the teachings of Islam in this regard. We
shall focus how can we combat the misuse and take negativities out of it so that
we can maximize the benefits of Information Technology and can make it a
source of our success not only in this world but in the world hereafter. We are
sure if used properly, this apparently worldly invention and machine can become
a great source of earning ultimate success on the Day of Judgment. But for this
we have to observe certain limitations and the current article is an effort to cover
all or as many aspects as possible. Computer is not something we can let go off
or ignore because it has very far-reaching in impacts on human life in modern
times. So, we must address its uses and abuses in the light of Islam and must
devise some rules and regulations for its better use.
