With quick access to many news/information via social media mediums, we tend to oversee whether they are reliable or not. This short film aims to educate and also raise awareness to our community on the reality of the situation.
With this creative approach of a short film, we hope that it does not only entertain but bring benefit to the masses especially when it comes to being a responsible muslim.
In an era of technology & social media, it is easy for people to receive news & information. This video depicts the different ways people reacted when receiving them.
On the extreme left, we have those who are laid-back & trusting every news without cross-checking. They tend to readily share without much thought.
On the other hand, we have those who already passed a judgement on news & information even when it is unconfirmed & without much investigation. They may also share to people with the intention to remind & educate.
However, there is also the moderate way; the wasatiyyah way. To approach the information without bias & investigate thoroughly before sharing to people. We as the receivers can do our part in ensuring that news is true.
We believe this is the way to go. Islam teaches us to be moderate and balanced in all aspects of life. Allah said: Thus, We have made you a justly balanced community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you.
– Surat Al-Baqarah 2:143
Let us be balanced & moderate in our receiving & sharing of information.
