About The Book

If you have a smartphone, you need this book.

Digital devices have drastically shaped our lives and changed how we do almost everything. Because of their ease and convenience, we often make use of whatever is available without a second thought. Smartphones, social media, apps, internet, video games... If it’s new, easier, and faster, it must be better, right?

Have we stopped to ask what are the benefits and harms of these devices? As we spend more and more time on our screens, what does this mean for us spiritually, psychologically, socially and even physically? Knowing the answers to these questions can help us make better choices.

Digital Deceptions explains the proven harms behind those seemingly free and convenient devices and services, and shows us a liberating, practical and more balanced way to live, worship and parent in this digital age using the timeless spiritual and rational principles of Islam.
