The two researchers in this study address the topic of “Electronic Addiction and Its Impact on the Intellectual Fabric of Islamic Society,” with a focus on the influence of the “TikTok” platform as one of the most prominent social media applications. The study aims to analyze the reasons for the widespread adoption of TikTok among Internet users and to explore the positive and negative effects of this platform on the intellectual orientation of Islamic society, particularly within Arab communities.

It also examines the factors that have contributed to TikTok’s extensive proliferation and its broader impact on public thought. Furthermore, the study discusses how TikTok serves as a vehicle for disseminating values and ideas—whether positive or negative—and the consequent threats these pose to the intellectual framework of Islamic society.

The research additionally reviews strategies for mitigating the negative effects, ranging from enhancing societal and intellectual awareness to the role of religious discourse in guiding youth. The researchers conclude their study with recommendations aimed at strengthening intellectual awareness and achieving a balance between leveraging social media platforms and preserving intellectual and religious values, thereby ensuring sustainable intellectual security.
