Most people think that television is Haraam only because it projects images of living creatures. Today, tables in living rooms and bedroom walls are adorned and decorated with family pictures and other portraits, to the extent that some students hang the portraits of their shaikh on the wall for blessings. It is difficult to comprehend how the mercy of Allah ta’alaa is going to descend.
Any home that has images displayed is not visited by angels. The Holy Prophet of Allah (S.A.W.S) has informed us that any home which contains pictures of living creatures is not visited by angels. However, do you think television is only haraam because it projects images? There are many reasons for the ‘T.V.’ being haraam. Everybody who studies its influences finds new dangers. Televsion is an instrument of violating the injunction of hijaab. We all know that a non-mahram man cannot look at a non-mahram woman. The Prophet (S.A.W.S) has said “verily, the gaze is a poisonous arrow from the arrows of satan”.
Take heed my friends! After having seen one woman you turn to another and then another and are not satisfied and so you move onto magazines. But, the lust in your heart remains unfulfilled so you move onto pornographic images on the television and video. The truth is always bitter and hard, but one does not need to conduct a survey to find out what people think when they are spending hours, watching naked women and men on the filthy ‘box’. The viewing of films that inflame sexual desires is definitely questionable. It is reported on the authority of Hasan Basri (R.A) that the Apostle of Allah (S.A.W.S) is to have said “the curse of Allah is on the who sees and on the one who is seen”. When a man looks at a non-mahram woman, then Allah’s curse descends on that individual for as long as he keeps on looking. We are glued to the television for 2 to 3 hours, some even more, at a time. Be cautioned my friends. During all this time, Allah’s curse is befalling us.
There is no doubt that society at large influences children, but without any hesitation I can say that the effects the television has are far greater. It is the television that take our children on the path of drugs, alcohol, fornication, disrespect, confrontation, modernism and many other evils that are apparent in our society today. Know that these evils are a direct result of watching and learning from the television.
Infact, television is being used to disseminate evil within the community. You may think that you are passing time and entertaining yourself when you are passing several hours in front of the T.V. You are mistaken my friend! Whatever you watch on television you accept as the truth. The television is not an instrument of entertainment, but an instrument used to reshape and motivate ones thoughts and loyalties.

TV can be used as an instrument for much good. I have seen many Muslims who previously were non-practising, and by watching Islamic channels and programmes on TV, have learned about their religion, taken an interest in it, learned how to give da'wah, made other people Muslims and become better Muslims themselves. Thank goodness they didn't throw away their TV and deprive themselves of that source of guidance!
Not only that, but you can learn much general knowledge on animals, nature, and what's going on in the world around us.
All we have to do is to use it wisely, and control what we watch and what children watch.

Like everything in this world. It can be used for evil and good. It's all how you use it. Plus it's good to have to know what is going on in the world and around you.
Re: The Effects/Evils Of Television | Spread Message To All | Get Rid Of The Televisi
i don't use the tv for that, i use the net, and let my kids use the net to watch their cartoons and nasheeds,
there are a few good channels, but most of them seem to just make up news as they go along just to subvert people's perception of events,
the only thing i use my tv for is the nintendo wii - let the kids sword fight and shoot arrows.
the tv literally makes people struggle to "think outside the box".
and i find even informed people parroting the mass media's warped take on events - simply because that view has been psychologically programmed into them
