Bogor, MINA – Dr. Arif Rahman Fitrianto, a lecturer at IAIN Ternate, North Maluku, has called on the public, especially Muslims, to adopt a critical mindset in today’s digital age.
“In Surah Al-Hujurat, verse 6, we are encouraged to think critically and verify (tabayyun) information to avoid being misled by hoaxes and misinformation,” he said during a Grand Tabligh Akbar or Taklim Pusat 1446 H at Al-Fatah Islamic Boarding School on Saturday.
He also emphasized the importance of logical reasoning when analyzing news and social issues.
“This is based on Surah Al-Isra [30], verse 36, which states: ‘And do not pursue that of which you have no knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight, and the heart – all of those will be questioned,’” he explained.
