Fiqh of Social Media: Timeless Islamic Principles for Navigating the Digital Age by Omar Usman, AbdulNasir Jangda

3.0

I definitely liked the second half of the book better than the first, as I felt in some parts it lacked a certain depth which I was hoping for. A lot of these points were obvious to me, and I think would be to others in their young 20s in 2021 - so maybe this book would be more insightful to older audiences. I really liked the logical flow and the surface level points were great, but when I say they lack depth I mean that I feel these points had so much more room to be unpacked further, and still keep the book short and simple, but they weren't. However, the consistent connections to Hadith and Quran verses was definitely wonderful and added a lot of value to the frame through which the information was being presented. Also, especially in the second half of the book, there were unique insights on the environment of social media and it provided great reflection points.
