Islamic accounts on Instagram: Instagram has become the go-to choice for many individuals to interact, socialize and most importantly, consume news and media. This is where religious social media accounts on Instagram and Muslim social media influencers come into play.
Through different types of content styles, these pages and influencers remind us of Islam and simultaneously do more for the cause of Islam and the distribution of important knowledge.

# 7 – Mufti Menk Reminders
Mufti Menk is an inspiring, joyous, and soft-spoken Islamic scholar renowned around the world. His speeches and answers attract many people around the world, both online and offline, and of all ages and nationalities. Therefore, it makes sense that people greatly like his quotes and excerpts from his dialogues.
The page presents some of his motivational and inspiring quotes and reminders in the form of images in black and white. The font is easy to read, and each consecutive post inverts the color of the image with font giving the homepage of the account pleasing to look at (sort of like a chessboard, if you will).
The account is fairly simple and barebones, a simple formula, yet seems polished and refined. This is evident from its following; it has 3,591 posts and an impressive following of 749k followers.
I would also recommend that you follow Mufti Menk’s personal account here and do go through our previous post on 50 Inspirational Mufti Menk Quotes and Sayings with Images.

# 2 – Zamaaan
This page belongs in a small niche category that is best fitted for social media websites like Instagram and Pinterest that rely primarily on pictures and images to tell stories and evoke and emotions rather than relying on words or lengthy videos to communicate information. This page relies on crowdsourced images, including some photos from the owner of the page itself.
The purpose of the page is to negate neither nor create propaganda or narrative. At least not through manipulation or through force-feeding. Instead, it relies on the power of images to speak volumes. The page features primarily old and largely forgotten pictures from the archives of the history of the conflict and oppression riddled middle-east. The posts are sometimes accompanied by the context of where and when the picture is from and sometimes a deeper look at what the image represents. It has more than 30.2k followers.
