Means media Islamic

The media has played an important and prominent role in raising awareness in all fields, requiring those in charge of the media to respond to the demands and interests of viewers and followers (Pennycook, McPhetres, Zhang, & Rand, 2020), And The media has become playing a fundamental role in arousing public interest in the issues and problems raised, as the media is a major source that the public resorts to in obtaining its information. (Hillis & Mahdi,2010), And The media are tools for communicating matter in all its forms, and the media has gone through different stages of development at the same stages of media development as a process and a human idea, from primitive, through all its stages, until it reached modernity. It is one of the most important modern media Press, radio, and TV, And Internet (Khidr, 2015).

In addition to differences Media about the means traditional, which She was in the previous mechanism Main to get on the information around Context and understand it, added to that networks Social Led to changes a task in Habits consumption the information, to become from Sources Main that Gets from through it individuals on news (Scarpa, & Garoufallou, 2021) (Bridgeman et al. 2020); (Moscadelli et al.; Pulido et al., 2020, Xaudiera, & Cardinal, 2020). As a result of the massive scientific technological revolution, educational methods and sources of know ledge have diversified and multiplied. What own it from techniques Modern and capable wide on Spread There have been many theories that talk about the relationship between Education and the media (Al-Khalidi, 2015).

The importance of having Islamic media with appropriate content emerged to meet the demands of recipients and viewers, dealing with multiple Islamic issues, transmitting knowledge to individuals in societies, and affecting their thinking and behavior. Basher, 2020).The Islamic media has always had its viewers and followers, and this view is increasing more with the passage of time Because of the great and deep connection between the Science of communication, the media, and youth issues, the role of the Islamic media came to help in social interaction, transferring knowledge and awareness in various fields, and providing them with the latest information about what is happening around them (Basher, 2020; Miladi, Karim, & Athambawa, 2017).

And The Islamic media is based on the book and the purified Sunnah, and the communication and media practices that took place during the era of the Prophethood and the Rightly Guided Caliphate in particular and the subsequent Islamic eras in general. Universal humanity (Janabi, 2016).And the basics of Islamic media are not drawn by the jurisprudence of a mujtahid, what ever his status, and they are not subject in any age to the desire of a ruler or the mood of a sultan, or change with the change of conditions and the different circumstances (Salem, 2016).

And he knows media Islamic It is the use of an Islamic approach in an artistic and informative manner, performed by learned Muslims, working in their religion, understanding the nature of media And his means Modern and its disparate masses, they use these sophisticated means to spread thought civilized and news The values, principles and ideals of Muslims and non-Muslims at all times and places in a completely objective framework with the aim of guidance and awareness and extensión to bring about the influence Required (Al-Barr, 2010).

And the media Islamic Prompt notification, works on Preparation Islamic public opinion is aware of religious realities, comprehends them, and is influenced by them in all aspects his actions. And it's getting more important media Islamic Contemporary at home and abroad when it plays a role in addressing intellectual distortion campaigns, and takes upon itself the task of introducing the conditions of Muslims and their morals To reunite them and close their ranks, and his endeavor to find quick solutions to advance the deteriorating reality of Muslims. and defense issues Nation Islamicall (Al-Janabi, 2016).

It is the responsibility of the means Media is the delivery of an intellectual message with different contents And multiple objectives, and aims to address individuals through various means of communication, In addition to Socializing students Jackson, Thorsen, & Reardon, 2020).The media have a clear role in shaping awareness among the audience, as they have an important and prominent role in conveying important information, interpreting and analyzing events, and providing advice and advice to societies, in addition to their important influence in shaping Trends. The importance of the media in general lies in establishing facts and broadcasting The spirit of tranquility among individuals (Mustafa, 2020; Salam, 2019).

And considered as Messages coverage Informative health related Cheers in means media source Whatever And her impact marked on the society Contemporary And may be that He is content Media this impact on all from the behavior singles and ideas around policies the public on the level collective (Gever, & Ezeah, 2020).

And Emphasis on importance Islamic media in the field of awareness; Because it is a media outlet concerned primarily with the production and distribution of knowledge, because of its great impact on the behavior of the public and on supporting the process of changing behaviors within society. The media, especially talk shows, play a vital role in dealing with behavioral problems (Jabar, & Chyad, 2021).

Islamic media helps that he is Individuals the society on Knowledgeable informative facts, that affects his behavior, And their feeling with responsibility Social towards themselves and others (Metwally et al., 2021), as The knew that Instrument to keep on continuity active for roles Social to the human being With what guarantee safety physical and mental and psychological (Wylie et al., 2020), and more capacity the individual on translation the information health to manners healthy in Situations life that maybe from through it preservation on his health in border means available (Metwally et al., 2021).

And have Contributed median a form big in changing patterns interaction inside communities, and excitement many from overlaps and problems and re Energizing mechanisms Connection with all types, to be used as a means To raise awareness and educate and re showing the information where It was completed Use media as a weapon The double edged Strengthening Awareness to benefits the recipient B Awareness And make it Understand the consequences of electronic addiction (Ghounane, 2021)

Recently, the number of Islamic media outlets has increased, which contributed to spreading knowledge about various community issues and forming a link between citizens and the state or government. Moll, 2020). It highlights the role of Islamic media channels in working to high light the facts of the Islamic religion with wisdom, defending the Islamic religion, responding to suspicions in light of electronic addiction, and perpetuating the principles that the Islamic religion calls for (Miladi, Karim, & Athambawa, 2017). Responding to inquiries and questions of individuals about religious issues, and combating innovations, superstitions, ignorance and traditions that contradict the teachings of the Islamic religion. Pay Young To the Islamic media is Feeling with responsibility social they are they do that not just for themselves, But with regards to others, either He was It's in captivity or communities (Biberman, Gul, & Ocakli, 2016). Just as one of the objectives of the Islamic media is to pay attention to the scientific and health aspects and to provide individuals with appropriate awareness of what people are exposed to, so it is the duty of the Islamic media to adopt various issues of concern to society and to fight destructive currents and extremist conflicts (Hijazi, 2020).

There are a number of theories that can be relied upon in dealing with this topic, and perhaps one of the most important theories that must be taken into account is the uses and gratifications theory.Uses and Gratification TheoryIt is one of the theories of indirect influence that focuses on the public’s uses of various means of communication and the extent of its dependence on these means, as this theory focuses on the interactive relationship between the means of communication on the one hand and society on the other hand (Abuke, & Omar, 2021).

The theory aims to achieve three main goals by Knowing how individuals and viewers use the means of communication assuming that they are viewers and an active and aware audience that can choose the means that it deems appropriate to satisfy its needs and motives, and Knowing the motives to be satisfied when exposed to this means, and obtaining results that help in understanding the communication process (Abuke, & Omar, 2020). Accordingly, the theory of use and satisfaction means the social and behavioral origins and needs that generate expectations from the media that lead to different types of exposure to the media, and result in satisfaction of needs or other results that are often unintended (Chhibber, 2020).

And seek theory uses and gratifications to investigation Goals three recognize on How Use individuals means media, And that by looking to the public active that Uses The means that saturate his needs And his goals, and the goal the second clarification motives Instrument particular from means media, and interaction with a result This use, the goal The third it is the focus on that to understand practical Connection mass Come a result to use means of communication mass(Mejía-Trejo, 2021).and on that This is the theory based members The audience Does in practical Connection, and use them means media investigate They have goals Intentional meet their expectations, and linkage between the desire in satisfy needs certain, and choose Instrument Flags specific Due to the same audience, And you specify it differences Individuality, emphasis on that The audience he that He chooses means And the content that radiates his needs, The individuals they are who they use means Connection And it's not means she that used audience, and be The audience on science interest that Return on him, And with his motives interests, He is Can that Provides researchers with a picture actual to use it means media ((Bae, Sung, & Kwon, 2021).

The study Problem And it questions

The problem of the study lies in the fact that the university stage is a stage in which students still adquiere more basic experience and discover and recognize their identify and personality, and that the nature of electronic uses helps them to do so. And the presence of a large void among the learners, whether on or outside the university campus, gives them a great opportunity to use websites, also as a result of the realistic researcher’s observation of the university community. Islamic media.

The study problem is crystallized in answering the following questions:

• What is the level of the role of Islamic media in reducing the phenomenon of electronic addiction from the point of view of students of media faculties in Jordanian universities?

• Are there statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05) in the role of Islamic media in reducing the phenomenon of electronic addiction from the point of view of students of media faculties in Jordanian universities due to the variable of gender?

• Are there statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05) in the role of Islamic media in reducing the phenomenon of electronic addiction from the point of view of students of media faculties in Jordanian universities due to the university variable?

The importance of studying

With a high level, while the second came the paragraph (Islamic media present programs dealing with electronic addiction) with an arithmetic mean of (3.74) at a high level. (3.12) at an average level.The researcher attributes this result to the fact that the various Islamic media, audio, visual and written, did not have a clear and significant impact in reducing the phenomenon of electronic addiction from the point of view of students of media faculties in Jordan, as their focus was directed towards other Islamic issues such as fatwas or religious awareness regarding issues. Religion, and the awareness it provided about the phenomenon of electronic addiction, did not reach the level expected and hoped for by the Islamic media, in addition to that other media outlets were also shedding light on the phenomenon of electronic addiction in a greater and more focused manner, and the media does not consider dealing with the issue of addiction Electronic priority in issues and programs presented through its various media.The researcher also attributes this result to the study sample, who are the students of the Faculty of Mass Communication, and what they possess in terms of knowledge, followup, analysis, and criticism more than others to the media in general, including the Islamic media, and she desatraed with the results of the study. Al-Qahtani ( 2019)that showed The degree of electronic addiction among preparatory year female students at Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University was degree High.
