I like collecting ornaments but I need to be careful. Some ornaments are not permissible to keep in Islam.

So what type of ornaments do you like? Here's mine:

1. Dagger
2. Letter opener knife
3. Hourglass
4. Dark Castle
5. Ruined ship
 
I am not sure what you mean by 'ornament'. pendants, necklaces, charms? Or things to set on the table or wall as decor?

An ornament is an object used to adorn something but usually having no practical purpose. So it could be anything. I personally like collecting revolvers too.

This is another fav ornament of mine. :/ I really like plasma balls.
 
Assalam-alaikum,

Is there any particular reason why you enjoy collecting ornaments?

If it does not serve any practical purpose, then why collect it?

Maaf for asking.....I just wonder about the reasons behind this interest......

I do know what the dictionary definition of 'ornament' is... but I don't know if you meant miniature type things, as I wouldn't call knives and guns 'ornaments'. What you seem to mean however, are more sculpture and collectables.

Collection wise, I used to collect dragons of all sorts, (mostly miniatures that you can assemble and paint yourself but lately the Tod McFadden Dragons), comics, non sport cards and a few other odds in ends. Now that I reverted to Islam, I doubt I can keep the dragons so most likely some time later this summer, going to sell it all in a big garage sale.

an object which is beautiful rather than useful

Beauty is purely subjective. I actually like knives and guns. They look nice to me. Whatever you may call it, it has to look nice to me.

I don't have big ornaments or objects since they are expensive.

I even have a safe box that is apparently rare.

I just like collecting objects/ornaments that look nice. I don't know why. It's quite an innocent hobby than compared to other activities.

I even bought an antique vase, very nice.

I have not been completely honest. The main reason why I collect stuff because I feel lonely at times and need something to do. When I'm older, I want to look at these objects and help me to remind about the good times I had.
 
^ Asslamu Aliakum,

Not to turn the topic into something about myself, but I really don't like playing sports. I do exercise, but sports is kinda boring, with the exception of swimming.

Need something to do?. Why don't you make/create something that can become your ornament?. Create something by you hand will give you better satisfaction than buy from store.

Also, it's good to maintain your creativity.

Being somebody who's collected all kinds of stuff in her youth, it doesn't make one any less lonely or really remember all that many good times. What I really remember is the good times I had with friends. The objects are just taking up space. This is something I really started to realize after I reverted to Islam...all the items that used to give me pleasure to look at, or hold etc. (my many dragon figures, even painting them, etc. ) no longer appeal to me at all. I just want to get rid of it all, though I don't want to just toss it into the trash, as it does have some value. Hence why I hope to just sell it all in a garage sale (too much a hassle to sell it on Ebay or try and find buyers...then the matter of shipping etc.)

A very good point sis dqSunday.

Everybody likes a few nice ornaments, but I sincerely would not encourage ornament collecting. One day you'll need a house just to accommodate them all. I like what brother Ardianto said about making your own and even selling them for some extra cash. :)

We're not the same. I feel less lonely when I have something to do. Collecting ornaments is one of the things I do. It makes me happy as well.
