Social media has proven to be a potent tool to disseminate information in a faster and more efficient way. Where the transfer of knowledge occurs, mindset induction will follow. Social media has the inductive ability to influence the mind. This ability can be beneficial if the cause is good, however, if the cause is the opposite, detrimental effects will occur. Subsequently, not all information on social media is applicable to everyone. This is where the problems come, specifically the ideology and set of ideas that are against religious teaching. On account of this, this paper aims to explore the influence of these ideologies on the mind of social media user in the context of their Islamic faith. To achieve this objective, a qualitative method was employed, using a semi-structured interview with social media users in Brunei. The data was analysed using a thematic analysis, and the result showed that there is a strong association between the ability to control the influence of social media misuse on the mind and the religious devotion of the user. The more devoted a person is, the more likely they are to protect themselves from the negative influence of social media misuse. This is significant in exploring the negative influence of social media. As well as, assist in providing relevant parties with a wider understanding of the religiously devoted individual. Future research may explore more of this field of study, especially on the quantitative side of the research.
