Prohibition of Reading Someone Else’s Writing or Letters - And How It Relates to Today’s Digital Resources Introduction Among the refined etiquettes taught in Islam is respect for others' privacy. This includes refraining from reading another person’s writings, letters, or personal notes without their permission. Scholars have discussed this issue extensively, drawing evidence from hadith, the practice of the Salaf, and juristic principles. Foundational Evidence from the Hadith The foundation for this etiquette is based on the narration attributed to the Prophet ﷺ: “Whoever looks into his brother’s writing without his permission is as though he is looking into Hellfire.” This narration has been reported from Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما) through various chains. However, scholars of hadith have classified it as weak (ḍaʿīf). Abu Dawud stated that all its routes are weak, Abu Hatim described it as munkar, and Ibn Hajar and al-Albani also declared its chain weak. Despite its weaknesses,...
Adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) was easier and quite natural for Generation Z (Gen Z or Zoomers), since they experienced technology from the get-go. And, frankly, they are better at it.

Quick AI adoption, especially among Gen Z, has introduced the concept of “hybrid identity” by merging AI capabilities with human creativity. Every piece of AI-generated or AI-labeled content reflects the synergy of human imagination and AI performance. But is this all good? Let’s be a little critical and look at the potential side effects.
Superficially, AI saves us time and makes us more productive, but deep down, it hurts our thinking and brainstorming capabilities, attention span, personal development, and social relationships. It is important for Gen Z, and for all of us, to be aware of the potential risks as we navigate the fascinating AI landscape.
AI is everywhere: from your face or fingerprint lock to your social feed (“For You” and “Home” pages, “People You May Know” on TikTok, “Friend Suggestions” on Facebook, “Networking Suggestions” on LinkedIn); from live recognition in your camera while capturing or filming (of text, plants, or human faces, etc.) to Snapchat face filters; from search query suggestions to web browsing experiences; from voice search to visual search; from auto-transcription to auto-translation; from people mentioned in YouTube videos to products featured in YouTube Shorts; from time-stamped comments auto-popping in sync with where you are in a video. This is the world we are living in.
In this AI era, we need to cultivate a healthy human-AI symbiosis, one that is grounded in human ethics, shaped by lawsuits, and balanced between leveraging technology and maintaining critical thinking, communication, and genuine human interaction.
