You’re scrolling through your feed, double-tapping that aesthetic coffee shot, when, boom!, a DM pops up: “Hey stranger .” You know where this is going. You hesitate, but curiosity wins. Before you know it, you’re lost in a spiral of winky faces, late-night convos, and heart emojis.
But here’s the plot twist: The Quran already warned us about this. Yep, social media flirting isn’t just a “harmless” guilty pleasure, it’s a spiritual red flag. Don’t believe me? Let’s break it down.
1. The “But We’re Just Talking” Trap
“Do not even go near zina (fornication). It is truly a shameful deed and an evil way.” (Quran 17:32)
You’re just chatting, right? No big deal. Until… it is. The Quran doesn’t just tell us to avoid zina, it tells us to not even go near it! Translation? Flirty DMs, Snap streaks, and emoji-filled banter are literally danger zones.
2. The Voice Message Dilemma
“…do not be soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should covet…” (Quran 33:32)
Sis, that voice note you just sent? Yeah, it might be melting his heart in all the wrong ways. The Quran is clear: Your words have power. Use them wisely. If he “accidentally” falls in love, you won’t be able to blame autocorrect.
3. The Selfie Approval Addiction
“And do not display yourselves as was the display of the former times of ignorance.” (Quran 33:33)
Posting that fire selfie because “I look cute today” or cough cough waiting for his like? You already know. The Quran teaches us modesty over validation. Spoiler alert: Your worth isn’t measured by IG likes.
4. The “Innocent” Compliments
“Shaytan (Satan) makes their deeds seem attractive to them.” (Quran 6:43)
“You’re really different from other girls.” Uh-oh.
One compliment turns into ten. Suddenly, you’re swooning. But guess what? Shaytan is the best hype man for bad decisions. He wants you to fall for the illusion. Don’t take the bait.
5. The “It’s Just a Friendship” Myth
“Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their modesty.” (Quran 24:30)
Girl, if even believing men are commanded to look away, what makes you think your “just friends” friendship is different? Emotional attachments start small. Then suddenly, you’re defending the guy who barely prays but sends “good morning” texts.
6. The “Late-Night Texts” Chaos
“Indeed, your Lord knows that you stand [in prayer] for nearly two-thirds of the night…” (Quran 73:20)
Midnight convos with a random guy or a midnight convo with Allah, choose wisely. Because let’s be honest, no good decisions were ever made at 2 AM.
7. The “FOMO” Manipulation
“Do not let the world deceive you…” (Quran 35:5)
“He watches all my stories.” “If I stop talking to him, he’ll think I’m boring.” Girl, so what?! The Quran warns us not to let the dunya fool us into thinking we need constant attention. You’re enough. Even in ghost mode.
8. The “But He’s a Nice Guy” Excuse
“The devil is a clear enemy to you.” (Quran 2:168)
Doesn’t matter if he’s polite, religious, and sends daily Surah Kahf reminders. Shaytan knows exactly how to sugarcoat sin. Don’t let a “good guy” drag you into a bad habit. A real one will respect your boundaries.
9. The “I’ll Just Repent Later” Lie
“And do not delay in turning to your Lord.” (Quran 39:54)
Waiting until you’re ‘ready’ to stop flirting? That’s like waiting until you’re fit to start going to the gym. Sis, the best time to fix things is NOW. You never know when your last scroll will be.
