WFA Phone Initiative – Shielding Hearts in a Connected World
The Wiqayah Family Alliance (WFA) Phone Initiative helps Muslim families rethink when, why, and how children receive phones. Together, we promote no smartphones before high school, no social media before at least 16, and encourage safer alternatives like minimalist “brick” phones or kid-safe devices with strict limits. Our goal is connection with parents—not constant connection to the internet—so kids can grow in fitrah, focus, and īmān.
Even with safer or minimalist phones, we remind families that no device is ever 100% safe. Harmful content, habits, and influences can still slip through, which is why we emphasize active parent supervision, open conversations, and clear family rules about when and how phones may be used—especially in sacred spaces like the masjid and during times of ‘ibādah and family connection.
WFA Media Initiative – Guarding the Fitrah from Harmful Content
The Wiqayah Family Alliance (WFA) Media Initiative supports parents in navigating movies, shows, music, games, and online content through an Islamic lens. We raise awareness about how entertainment can normalize immodesty, disrespect, violence, and un-Islamic values, and we offer practical alternatives: nature, reading, creative play, family activities, and carefully chosen media that respect ḥayā’, adab, and tawḥīd.
We also remind families that even “clean” or filtered media is never 100% safe—subtle messages and images can still affect the heart over time. That’s why the WFA Media Initiative focuses on parent presence and guidance: watching together when possible, talking about what children see and hear, and setting clear family limits around what is allowed, when it is allowed, and how we return the heart to Qur’an, dhikr, and real-life experiences after the screen turns off.
