«إذا أرشدت غيرك إلى الخير وحذرته من الشر فقد تصدقت عليه صدقة عظيمة، لأن الله قد ينفعه بها أكثر مما ينفعه المال»
"If you direct others to good and forbid them from evil, then you have been very charitable towards them, because Allāh may benefit them by way of this more than the benefit gained from wealth."
[Al-Minḥah Ar-Rabbāniyyah fī sharḥil Arb'īn - Pg. 222].

EXPLOIT THE INTERNET, BUT DON'T LET IT EXPLOIT YOU!
Social media can be a place of great evils and fitan. It only takes a few taps of a button and one or two swipes of the screen before a person finds themself in an ugly mess.
But at the same time, it can also provide a good source of investment in terms of reward.
Did you know, you could earn the same reward as those who post beneficial reminders on any given platform just by simply forwarding the messages to your family and friends?!
How generous our Lord is!
The Prophet ﷺ said:
((الدَّالَّ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ كَفَاعِلِهِ))
"Whoever directs [others] to good is like the one who does it."
But before forwarding any message make sure to check and verify its authenticity!
Likewise, don't allow yourself to be a victim of blackmail - where you're forced to forward on messages because you're made to be believe that, "if you don't forward this message to ten people, such and such will happen to you."
And in many of these types of messages, they exploit the targhīb/(false) promise tactic, which reads something like..."forward this message to ten people and you will get such and such."
