Step One: Block Haram Sites
Unlock the power of iPhone's 'Screen Time' feature to safeguard your mind and soul from harmful content and distractions.
Step 1: Set up Screen Time
Navigate to Settings > Screen Time > App & Website Activity.
Open the Settings app.
Tap on 'Screen Time.'
Tap on 'App & Website Activity' if you see it. If you don't, skip this.
Turn 'App & Website Activity' on.
Your 'Screen Time' is now on.
Step 2: Block Haram Content
Navigate to Content & Privacy Restrictions > Store, Web, Siri, & Game Center Content (Also knows as Content Restrictions) > Web Content, and then limit adult websites.
Scroll down and select 'Content & Privacy Restrictions.'
Turn it on.
Select the option that contains 'Web' or 'Content Restrictions.'
Select 'Web Content.'
Switch the selection to 'Limit Adult Websites.'
Directly pornographic sites will now be filtered out on any browser.
Step 3: Block Triggering Sites
Under the 'Never Allow' section, add any sites that may contain problematic content. For example, Reddit.com and X.com are some of the biggest hosts of Haram content online, but they will not be blocked by the 'Adult Content' filter as they are not directly pornographic. It is advised to block any such websites in this section.
Select 'Add Website' under 'Never Allow.'
Type in the URL for a site you would additionally like to block that contains triggering or Haram content.
Your custom list of sites are now also blocked on any browser.
Step 4: Lock Screen Time Settings (Important!)
You must have a trusted friend or mentor lock your 'Screen Time' settings for you. They will select a password and lock it in with their own Apple ID-not yours! Make sure your companion is the one putting in their own Apple ID. This will stop you from being able to reset your 'Screen Time' password without their permission.
Navigate back to the initial 'Screen Time' page.
Select 'Lock Screen Time Settings.'
Have your trusted friend or mentor select a password to lock your settings. They do not share this password with you.
Have your trusted friend or mentor lock in the password with their own Apple ID-not yours!
Your 'Screen Time' settings are now locked and you should see 'Change Screen Time Passcode' in place of 'Lock Screen Time Settings.' You are done!
Step Two: Block Ads on Browser
Install Brave Browser and make it your default for an ad-free experience.
Make Brave Your Default Browser
This ensures all links open in Brave, providing an ad-free experience.
Download and open Brave from the link above.
Tap 'Set Default' to begin.
Choose 'Default Browser App.'
Select 'Brave' from the list.
Toggle the switch to complete setup.
Use all websites that have ads like YouTube in the Brave Browser instead of in-app to avoid seeing ads.
Step Three: Remove & Limit Distractions
Take control of your device by limiting or removing distracting apps and sites with Screen Time.
