Abstract
This article examines the interpretation of QS. al-Araf [7]: 11-25 by dialoguing the story of the Success of Adam and social reality. Dialogue that discusses the issue of the history of hoax, the strategy of making hoax, the impact, and handling of hoax issues. This research uses qualitative with hermeneutics ma'na-cum-maghza theory. This interpretation shows that hoax are phenomena that have existed since the beginning of human kind (Prophet Adam). The unfair contestation and an inability to accept differences caused the policy tendency. This hoax strategy is carried out through logical agreement and approving of oaths that seem right. How to handle habits can only be done through internalizing the nature of sincerity and waiting as a form of grace to accept all forms of diversity, and to cultivate a critical nature of all information received. Besides, the government also needs to take and resolve not only to provide punishment to the victims but also need to get rehabilitation to avoid prolonged depression

Information is one element to create horizons and human behavior. The development of human civilization since the classical to modern times influenced the dynamics of the transformation of information media such as print, electronic and online-based media as well as Facebook, Instagram, Tweeter, and WhatsApp or it is known as social media. The presence of social media in the community is used as a forum of communication and information dissemination, it does not require a license as a journalist.. The social media is bringing mashlahat (profit) to humans and lead to mafsadat (ugliness), including the absurdity of authority and validity of information which can create and disseminate information based on desires and interests.5 This phenomenon triggers widespread fabrication and inaccurate information dissemination, even in the form of hoaxes. Other studies were discussed by Abd Mujib, Iffah Al Walidah, Hariyanto, Erwan Efendi, and Limmatus Sauda’.23 These studies attempt to reveal how to deal with hoaxes through tabayyun (confirm) as stated at QS. The implications of this study are expected to be to provide theoretical and practical contributions as an alternative offer in dealing with the rise of hoaks through social media in the digital age
