I still think of flying as being my hobby although the last time I piloted a plane was in January 2004. But, Inshallah I will be able to pursue it again. but this time for constructive purposes and not joy riding.

Other hobbies are:

Language studies
Drawing
Calligraphy
Training Horses (But I call it work)
Astronomy
Reading (But not as much as I did in the past)
Short story writing (Very Short)
Writing poetry
Collecting almost anything that is older than me.

My last listed hobby is the most difficult. do you realize how few things are older than me;D

Calligraphy takes a lot of patience and a keen sense of touch. It had been a long time since I had last done any and I have lost a lot of the touch, but Insha Allaah I shall regain it.

Salaam,

I felt like that. I used to be much happier when I was little but as I got older, things appear to have gotten worse. Hopefully, things will be sorted out in a couple of years, Inshallah.

My hobbies are:

1. Reading books and articles, especially this: www.loonwatch.com

2. Watching documentaries and listening to lectures. I like to listen to Bilal Philips, Hamza Yusuf, Hamza Tzortzis, Dr Zakir Naik and Ahmed Deedat. This is the most interesting documentary I've watched: The Israel Lobby

3. Death Note is the most interesting anime I've seen so far but I'm trying to reduce the amount of time watching anime shows.

4. Playing computer games. My favourite game is Zelda Ocriana of Time. I still play the game sometimes. I liked Assassin Creed, the plot was good. Again, I'm tying to reduce the amount of time playing computer games.

5. Contract Law and Civil Litigation. This may sound sad but I find contract law and civil litigation really interesting. :p: I hope I can get a job in this area. Also, I never cared much about economics until the recession. I'm preparing to read Economics at London University externally (London School of Economics and Political Science). I would like to compare economics with Islamic economics...

6. IslamicBoard. :p: I like coming here.

R Khan we hope you don't sleep all day and night. Sleeping all day will only produce dreams. We as Muslims invoke the following du'a. Insha Allah

Sahih Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 378:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Prophet used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and geriatric old age, and seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the afflictions of life and death."

I just like the scent of fresh laundered linens, and clean bed sheets.. I absolutely detest cooking because to me it is the antithesis of laundry so it balances out =)

My hobbies are: drawing, drawing, drawing (especially manga)
started about 15 years ago.

I also like writing stories, studing languages and foreign cultures, programing.

Another hobby (Addiction), computer games; especially strategy games and MMORPG games like micrvolts (a free simple online game).

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):

May Allah punish those who attempt to change the laws of Allah!

Always the lukewarm who make excuses for implementing the laws of Allah!!

The puesdo intellectuals pick and choose that which they fervertly support. When it directly
confronts that which they engage they will defend. This hadith refers to chess and not backgammon. The
main point is not to waste time with anything that doesn't promote Allah's word being superior. They will
never provide evidence showing that chess can be played.

Attempting to attack any of the Sahih Sittah puts you on the otherside of practicing Muslims who adhere to the
Quran and Sunnah.

Chapter 2: IT IS PROHIBITED TO PLAY CHESS


Sahih Bukhari Book 028, Number 5612:


Buraida reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said:
He who played chess is like one who dyed his hand with the flesh and blood of swine.

If you are not creating games is it wasting hours of time?

Doesn't playing those cited games require hours of learning and then hours of devoting your time to reach goals?

Just a question.

And we realize that youth are not the only one who play these games.

I just play the games because it's fun. I like games that have a good storyline with a twist.

No. It usually takes a couple of minutes to understand how to play the game. How long it takes to finish the game depends on the game itself...

All games require an investment of your time. If it wasn't entertaining the game wouldn't be played. The individual has to decide if playing a game is time consuming or a waste of time.

Fitting that our number 666 Post is on the issue of games being time wasting.

Hobbies... I guess I have a few.

Gaming has always been one for me. Mainly video games but also tabletop games as well. Currently I'm playing Europa Universalis III (Magna Mundi Mod) as the Kingdom of Morrocco. Trying to see if I can change history and reconquer Iberia for the true faith...

History is another hobby of mine. It was the only class in high school and college that I didn't skip or sleep through. Of course, being a new convert/revert to Islam, I'm reading a lot about Islamic history now.

Also, Islam itself now is a hobby of mine, as well as my calling. There is still a lot that I don't know, and I want to learn as much as I can about it.

Akhi Just a Guy:

Islam doesn't fit in the category of a hobby because Islam is not the following:

Not a pastime, leisure pursuit, diversion, or sideline.

You are able to pursue Islam in the manner in which you will receive the best enhancement and
knowledge. But we suggest you limit your posts and threads and read all the posts regarding

1. Aqidah (Islamic creed) http://www.islamicboard.com/aqeedah/
2. Islam (Five fundamental Pillars) http://www.islam101.com/dawah/pillars.html
http://www.islam-guide.com/ch3-16.htm

(1) The Shahada (Declaration of Faith)
(2) Daily prayers (Salat)
(3) fasting during Ramadan (Sawm)
(4) almsgiving (Zakat)
(5) the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) at least once in a lifetime

When you attain a complete understanding of the following then pursue Iman (Faith)

Well, maybe "hobby" was the wrong word for it. Islam is an interest of mine now, especially now that I have taken shahada and decided to follow Allah. I don't want to trivialize it in any way, and if it came off that way, then I apologize.

I used to spend a lot of time and I mean a LOT of time playing videogames, watching films and TV shows. But then I came to a point where I realized how much time I wasted. Time is such a valuable thing. A game like Street Fighter 4 requires skill and can take a lifetime to master - so I said to myself "Why spend all this time learning to fight in a videogame when I can do it in real life and get fit at the same time?". Then there are the Grand Theft Auto games where you have fun missions and then really mundane stuff like collecting someone, getting from point A to B, buying clothes and properties. Again, I said to myself these are things I can do in real life, do I really not like my life that much that I have to go into a virtual world to do it?

So I don't play video games as much as I used to (maybe 2-3 in a year), I rarely watch films unless it's something I can't resist like X-men First Class and I only watch one TV show.

Now my hobbies are taking Kung Fu Lessons, reading and programming stuff. There are some people that argue that reading fiction (which I do a lot) is a waste of time. However, I find that it improves my concentration/attention span, vocabulary, it's a really good mental workout and I just can't resist a good story. There's nothing quite like sitting in an armchair on a cold winter's night with a mug of tea and a good book.

At the moment, I'm focusing on Kung Fu but I would like to learn to swim, ice skate and someday go travelling.

Then there are the Grand Theft Auto games where you have fun missions and then really mundane stuff like collecting someone, getting from point A to B, buying clothes and properties.

Akhi jimbo123:

applying self evaluation is the best barometer on the strength of a Muslims Iman (Faith, Conviction).

Your post was enlightening and hopefully will assist others who invest that much time in a game. It is usually an escape
for other unresolved issues. Video games have been responsible for breaking up families, especially those people living
with parents. It has been reported these disputes and arguments get people kicked out of the house.

A costly hobby.

Your honest assessment has enhanced the thread. Alhamdulillah!

Hi sabr- I like to fish but I'm not good at it ;D. I live in southeastern Pennsylvania (USA) and I fish mainly in creeks in the forest. I mostly catch bluegills and trout. I rarely catch anything big and I always put them back in the water. It takes a lot of time but when the time is spent around the beautiful water and trees it is very much worth it, even without catching anything.

I love keeping fish but it is a very demanding (and sometimes expensive) hobby. Fish are so sensitive and so many things can go wrong in a tank! It's much easier to have a cat :)

Fishing! That reminds me of growing up, my dad would always drag me on fishing trips and I hate it! I was a "girly girl" so anything that made me get dirty, I didn't like.

In regards to my hobbies, I love to read, particularly memoirs, fiction and mysteries, and non-fiction books about Islam. I love to cook/bake and try new recipes, particularly North African/Middle Eastern food. Lastly, I recently picked up painting about 2 years ago. I am not very artistic, but it provides such a creative outlet. I keep it pretty simple with canvas and acrylic paints, nothing too fancy, but very relaxing.

My hobby was to learn everything. I was insatiable for any activity that is within my vicinity (with prerequisites like it was not filled with snobs etc... then it will be not be a hobby!)

I grew up in my primary school as a weak pathetic kid suffering acutely from asthma. Pretty much anything would set it off. Around 9 or ten I started swimming and with it came breathing and fitness. With fitness I managed to kick asthma's ass and I got fitter and suddenly a whole new world was open to me...beyond back gammon, chess and snakes and ladders, monopoly and stuff...

I learnt football, hockey, rugby, badminton, tennis, ping pong, squash, roller skates, skateboard, bikes, golf, water skiing, running (mainly longer distances), of course swimming, fooseball(?) the table soccer thingy (and was pretty good at that) snooker, pool, darts, archery, shooting, didn't really like basketball or cricket, did karate and judo (of course the Bruce Lee factor), which made me want to know more, started drawing, painting in oils, (not so much into photography), and also into music. Played the guitar (heavily influenced by Clapton & Knopfler), learnt the piano, can play some others by 'ear'. I am also guilty of enjoying the odd karaoke moments..... Then I picked up reading..... what a different world.... I'm suddenly reminded of the first command our holy prophet received "IQRA'!"

Then arrived the time I am allowed to drive!!!!!! I love driving....and I love riding!!!!!! And then I knew girls!!! WOO HOO... and I got wheels... WEE HEE... then my dad passed away, got married the next day (only joking but soon after) and out goes all through the window. I guess I'll share it with my children when they show their interest...Which they have (the boy is 17 and the girl is 13) and two smartass children I have.... I guess they should be my new and semi permanent hobby...:p

I still enjoy the odd golf games (which I think I will play more regularly when I retire) I ride a lot still and drive if I have to due to the traffic. I still play ping pong when I get the chance which is not often. .. and nearly forgot, an good debate occasionally!

"Stay away from girl". That was my friend told me when I was still active in my hobby, motorcycle racing.

I have competed in dozens motocross competition. From one track to other tracks, from one race event to other race events. That was a life that made me feel "alive". Until I decide to take a rest after accident in one race in Pangalengan. I just took a rest because I planned to back to race again, but .......

My friend was right. Finally I was in situation which I must choose when she told me "If you want to race again, just race again. But don't marry me!". So I decided to say goodbye to motorcycle racing, forever.

I love motorcycle racing. But I don't marry motorcycle. :)

Until I decide to take a rest after accident in one race in Pangalengan. I just took a rest because I planned to back to race again, but .......

My friend was right. Finally I was in situation which I must choose when she told me "If you want to race again, just race again. But don't marry me!". So I decided to say goodbye to motorcycle racing, forever.

I love motorcycle racing. But I don't marry motorcycle. :)
Hahaha nice said the last words.....

I used to play tennis/football/badminton but that all stopped at some point. So I used cycle a lot (to work and back = 14 Miles) but my Mom said no since there have been deaths around my area on round abouts etc so I stopped so she wouldn't worry as much... or maybe it was just a good excuse to be lazy :D
I still play football at times although I don't header the ball with my forehead anymore because I do Sajdah with it and I don't want to put a muddied ball I kick on it; is that strange?

Now I am trying to purify the Heart through Practice as much as possible and it's easier said then done. I think I have't done justice to what I have learnt so far as I haven't put much of it to practice so I need to establish firmly what I know before seeking further advice on improving myself. I try to fit it into my routine, this is quite a good device for counting Quran reciations (Surat Ikhlaas and Fatiha mainly), Dhikr, Dhurood etc

Because if my Heart isn't correct then what I learn won't benefit me anyway.

Do you mean video game?.

Oh, oh, young bro, it's better if play the real game (sport) like football, tennis, riding bicycle. You will feel its benefit. At least, you will be healthier and have better stamina.

My hobby is listening to the mesmerizing recitations of the Holy Quran in Muslim Mate. I also read the Holy Quran along with the translations and transliterations.

Hello sherz_umr,
Calligraphy isn't too hard to start learning but it is hard to master... i have been doing it for over 6 months now and I can say i am good at it (beginner level) but no where close to mastering it !!

I love calligraphy too... maybe you can contribute your thoughts, comments here - http://www.islamicboard.com/creative...ml#post2854602 ??

Calligraphy takes a lot of patience and a keen sense of touch. It had been a long time since I had last done any and I have lost a lot of the touch, but Insha Allaah I shall regain it.
