The epidemic of fake news i.e., the dissemination of unrestricted information has been an intrinsic component within the life of present-day society since the advent of sophistication in technology in the globalisation era. In addition, a handful of people engage in incessant gossiping and backbiting among one another in perpetuating issues that have gone viral. The information or news are accessible from the internet, particularly via smartphone applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and others. The issue at stake is to what extent the easily obtained information is scrutinised to determine its truth. If the information is valid, it might be beneficial for the receiver; however, on the contrary, it is fake, the information could potentially generate discord and hostility. The issue this paper intends to address is the applicability of the principles of tabayyun in the face of challenges and conflict in the current era of globalisation. In so doing, this study aims to first understand the concept of tabayyun from the Islamic perspective and analyse the guidelines of the principles as prescribed by the al-Quran as a tool in dealing with the challenges and strife of social media. The research adopted a qualitative approach through exploration of various library sources. The data collected were analysed and discussed to arrive to achieve the objectives of this study. This study found that the principles of tabayyun is emphasised in Islamic teachings to safeguard human beings from falling prey into the traps of slander as well as preventing them from accepting and disseminating questionable and inaccurate information. The principles of tabayyun require that the authenticity of information be established as it undergoes prior filtration and investigation. Thus, tabayyun is an indispensable tool that the public may apply when receiving and disseminating information in their daily lives and thereby not hasten in deriving conclusions upon any particular information received.
