Assalamu alaikum Salman, I would only call it internet "addiction" if the person is on the net so much that other areas of life are becoming ignored or not done. For example, if the person is missing salat, forgets to read Qur'an, gets behind in their work, doesn't take time for fresh air and exercise, and so on. I don't believe just being on the net everyday constitutes an addiction. It is only when other areas of life suffer that too much internet is not a good thing! As with everything in life: moderation is the key! Peace, ummziba. |

Assalamu Alailkum Sister Ummziba, you are absolutely right. That is the way any addiction is determined. How it affects your life overall. Is it causing you to avoid doing the important things in life? Are you not doing other rewarding things in your life that used to be rewarding in a positive way? As a person who has no Ummah, I do use the net everyday to stay in touch with other Muslims and to learn about Islam. Alhamadulillah I have the internet because if I didn't have it, I might not have entered Islam yet. Only Allah knows best. Colin... Allah Hafiz Sister Khadija |

Well if its affecting you to that extent...... I'd say you are addicted to this forum and cannot live without knowing what is being said here, THAN being addicted to the internet Do you have work or school to go to in the day, how are you doing in that, if not good then I suggest that you stop with the all nighter with reading You have put you body clock at of whack that is why you are feeling depressed, here. Is really, I mean really important that you have to read ALL replies? Or are you worried that you are going to miss out on somethng so you keep going with the reading and may reply ? I myself was doing that for a bit but then I realise well I do not have to with Everything, this was in the earlier days but I don't do that anymore, if something happens it happens, there is no need to attend everything |
