34 The Internet has also had a significant impact on the way we access information. The Internet has made it possible to find information on almost any topic, anytime, from any location. Individuals may now access online education and training, which has revolutionised how people learn. Online courses, tutorials, and e-books have become increasingly popular, and many universities now offer online degree programs. The Internet has also had a profound impact on the way we shop and do business. Online retailers like Amazon and Alibaba have made it possible for people to shop from the comfort of their own homes, and e-commerce has become an essential part of the global economy. In addition, the Internet has empowered people to start their businesses and reach customers globally. In addition, the Internet has enabled people to work remotely and collaborate with colleagues worldwide. The Internet has also had a significant impact on the way we think and process information. The Internet has enabled people to access vast data quickly and easily. However, it has also led to concerns about the effects of "information overload" on our ability to think critically and make informed decisions. Additionally, the Internet has changed how we consume news and information, leading to concerns about spreading misinformation and "fake news." The Internet has also had a significant impact on our privacy and security. The Internet has allowed companies and governments to collect vast amounts of data about individuals, raising concerns about protecting personal information and the potential for abuse of that information. Additionally, the Internet has made it easier for hackers and cybercriminals to access personal data and commit crimes online. Islamic teachings approve of using the Internet to learn about and practice religion. The Internet allows Muslims to access a wealth of Islamic knowledge, such as an online version of the Quran and Hadith, a collection of books from renowned Islamic scholars, lectures, and other resources supporting religious engagement. Furthermore, anytime a hadith attributed to our beloved Prophet SAW is mentioned, believers can quickly verify its veracity online. Closing The Internet has had a pervasive impact on nearly every aspect of modern life. It has changed the way we communicate and access information, the way we shop and do business, and the way we think and process information. As the Internet expands towards Web 3.0, which may be seen as an advanced stage of its growth, it is critical to ensure that the Internet is being used helpfully and securely.
