REFLECTION
In the current world that we are living in, we feel that CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) is an important tool in language learning. This is because most of us use CMC, whether it is synchronous or asynchronous, in our daily lives. At this time, we depend on emails, Skype, WhatsApp and etc to communicate with others. Mobile phones, smart phones, tablets and other devices that has the Internet connection is also considered as CMC.
As language learners, we believe that CMC is an essential tool for learners to acquire language. Learners can learn how to write by reading E-articles and E-books and talk like native speakers by watching videos on YouTube. Nowadays, people often have live video conferences to give lectures and talks.
From an Islamic perspective, we feel that CMC brings no harm to mankind if use wisely. As Muslims, are taught to use the things that we have in our time to acquire knowledge and in this case language. However, we feel that as Muslims, we should only do good with CMC and avoid whatever that can lead us astray. We think that we should use CMC to do da'wah to mankind all over the world. We can use blogs to share what we learn or we can also create video blogs or YouTube to tell stories of Islam to others. There are so many ways of spreading da'wah to others through CMC. It is a matter of whether you want to do it or not.
Al-Bukhari narrated it on the authority of Anas, as follows:
"Make things easy! And do not make them complicated! Be cheerful! And do not be repulsive."We feel that CMC is a tool given by Allah to men of our age for us to acquire knowledge easily without any problems.
