Student, Mobile and Internet - The Path of Knowledge - Or the Path of Misguidance? 
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Article (84)
Today's student is seen more connected to the mobile than to the book, hears the notification bell more than the teacher's voice, and is lost in the glow of the screen more than in the pages of the Quran and Hadith. The atmosphere of the Madrasa, which once smelled of silence, respect, dignity, hard work and knowledge, is slowly dying in the hunger for likes, the intoxication of comments and the desire for fame. It is bitter, but the truth is that for the Madrasa student - from Arabic First to Daura-e-Hadith - mobile and internet have become more of a source of harm than benefit. It is not a support for knowledge, but the biggest threat and the quietest killer of knowledge. Mobile: Satan's new weapon for some people. Satan never says directly: commit sin; or be negligent; rather, he says in a beautiful guise: You are serving the religion, you are spreading knowledge, you are reforming!; and the student happily takes the mobile in hand and thinks that he has become a preacher and a writer, while the truth is that he is moving away from the book, neglecting the teachers, and becoming a slave to his own desires.
Allah Almighty says:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُلْهِكُمْ أَمْوَالُكُمْ وَلَا أَوْلَادُكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ. 
O you who have believed, let not your wealth and your children divert you from remembrance of Allah. (Al-Munafiqun: 9) 
Today, if you want to see the practical interpretation of this verse, then the mobile in the hand of the Madrasa student is enough, which is distracting not only from the remembrance of Allah but also from the remembrance of the book.
The hunger for likes is truly the death of knowledge. The student who publishes his writings on mobile, tell me honestly:
How many times a day does he open the screen?
How many times does he swipe his fingers?
How many times does he count likes, comments and followers?
And then he says proudly: We use mobile and study lessons as well; 
This is self-deception, the biggest deception. When all the attention is spent there, where will the attention come from in the book? What will he read?
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
There are two blessings in which most people are deceived: health and free time; (Tirmidhi 2304) 
The most valuable asset of a student is time, and mobile is the robber that quietly steals this time.
The real field of seeking knowledge should be: book, teacher and hard work;
My fellow students! To prove the worth of your knowledge, you need books, teachers, debates, memory and hard work, not Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. The board hanging on the wall of every Madrasa is there for you: put your article there, try your pen there, show your passion there; but without mobile and internet!
This is the real training, this is the real sincerity, this is the real pursuit of knowledge. Yes! When you go home on vacation, give lessons in your neighborhood, teach children in the mosque, answer the questions of the elderly. People should hear the religion from your tongue, recognize Islam from your morals. Then your parents' heads will be raised with pride, relatives will give examples, and people will say: Yes! This is a Madrasa student!; 
But remember, all this should be done without mobile, because the real scholar is the one whose knowledge enters hearts, not screens. Mobile does not teach knowledge, it teaches fame. Mobile does not make you a scholar,
Mobile makes you famous. Becoming a scholar is the path to Paradise, becoming famous is the food of the ego.
Imam Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) famously said: If you do not keep the ego busy, the ego will keep you busy in falsehood. And today, the student's ego is most busy with mobile.
However, yes: - Those students who have completed Daura-e-Hadith and are now engaged in guiding, inviting, issuing fatwas or teaching in the society, who have really come into contact with the problems of the Ummah, are exempt from this writing.
But for the novice student, mobile is not a blessing, it is poison.
Listen. O student!
Mobile will give you temporary shine, but knowledge will give you eternal light. Mobile will keep you alive on the screen, but knowledge will keep you alive in history. If you do not stop yourself today, tomorrow you will have a degree in your hand, but an empty mind, a dead heart, and the Ummah will be disappointed in you. Therefore, stay away from this calamity, avoid this trial, protect yourself from this poison, because:
Nations are built by books, not by mobiles. The Ummah lives by prostration, not by screens.
