The fitnah on the internet has become overwhelming. Fitnah has always existed on the internet, but now, its hard to even check your email without seeing something haram. Whether it's an AD about losing those extra kilos you’ve put on in time for the coming summer or those notorious webcam pop-up ADs which assume that every internet user has shameless, perverted hobbies like secretly filming their neighbour’s wife. It's time to put an end to this cruel commercial blitzkrieg.
Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever amongst you sees an evil, he must change it with his hand; if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is unable to do so, then with his heart; and that is the weakest form of Faith".
[Muslim].
There are a few ways we can counter this onslaught. Some users turn the graphics off in their browser settings. This turns off all pictures by default. Not a bad option, but this takes away much of the internet’s 'multimedia' experience. The best way is to get an AD Blocking software installed on your computer. These programs eliminate pop-up ads, banner ads, as well as animation and background music. They are highly configurable, so the user can choose what to block and what to allow. There are a few available on the web. The most effective one I've encountered is a program called AdSubtract.
It can be downloaded from this address:
http://www.adsubtract.com/pro/trial/download.html
Note however, that the software is a 30-day trial.
It has the following features:
Blocks banner ads, Speeds surfing, Blocks pop-ups, Blocks animated flash ads, Blocks pop-unders, background music and more. Which means it blocks a lot of the fitnah, give it a try!
Alternatively, here is a completely free AD blocking software – called Proxomitron - that is also a very good program. It basically has the same functionality as Ad Subtract and can be downloaded from this address: http://www.proxomitron.org/download.html
It is not quite as easy to use as AD Subtract but is completely free! No registration or expire dates! Both programs are fairly easy to configure and well worth the effort to install them since they are very good at reducing the Haram we are bombarded with.
"But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness,- We shall soon admit them to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,-to dwell therein for ever. Allah's promise is the truth, and whose word can be truer than Allah's?" Quran 4:122
Finally, please forward this to others and inform them about such software so that they may reduce their exposure to the fitnah.
Abu Mas`ud `Uqbah bin `Amr Al-Ansari Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action".

Evil has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned, that Allâh may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allâh, and begging His Pardon).
while it is very true that the fithna is there out more than we could imagine. but i do have a point to add. simply bannig and blocking these Ads, sites, and animations wont do. Indeed , we need to replace it. Closing the dark room nevetr makes it any safe. it simply keeps the darkness hidden. Rather if we could turn that darkness to light... it will be much much better. maybe we need more and more Ads and animations that are "good to look at"
masha allah nice post
very true......when we abuse anything it becomes a fithnah...like TV when abused becomes a fithnah...
very nice post, and a very needed one to our society..

Assalam alaikum warahmathullah anonymous.d links do work n may Allah reward you all good.

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers?
I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on.
Any suggestions?
