video games/TV/music - when the game/program/tune is good you get hooked

gf/bf - if they buff/good personal u get hooked

video games/tv/music - you will ignore others when you get too into it

gf/bf - textin/callin/flirtin/chirpsin/vibin its gonna end in tears so you gonna be cryin, DONT GET INTO IT

video games/tv/music - you will forget your duties and spend all your time on the entertainment as if worshipping it

gf/bf - there is a story of a man dying in prostration to a gf (audhubillaah) (jazakAllaah khair to fi-sab the dude of dudes for tellin me the storY)




Both of these things are "ILLUSIONS", ya akhee, ya ukhtee, *gives a slap* ITS TIME TO WAKE UP ! stop wallowing in illusion....

I am playing an MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) most time at my spare time. Because of that i have problems with my family and school. You are right dude, this things are illusions. I could read the quaran instead of playing games. By the way: That game is about leveling up and becoming strong. So i cant understand why i am playing games like that. Is it because i am bored or because i wanted to get strong in a GAME?

That's terrifying...:phew:

About diversions, I agree. That's one of the main reasons I joined this site, actually. I realized I'd been spending so much time online and on the computer. I'm an amateur photographer, so a lot of my time is spent on the computer editing and retouching photos. I felt guilty at all the time that was going to waste, so I decided to join an islamic forum, to make good use of my time inshallah.

Salam.

Depends what books you read, who your friends are and what you get up to in school.

books - read whats beneficial, it can be fun too !

Friends - islaam encourages making pious friends who will encourage good deeds and refrain from idle talk.

School - Islaam promotes education.

Only to an extent where books, school and friends lead you away from or prevent learning of Islam. It's all about maintaing a balance in our actions as opposed to completely shunning things (though there are exceptions, I will not go into them since it's off-topic)

As I understand it, not all of what he mentioned will lead you away or prevent you from learning Islam. He is then addressing potential of leading away instead of things that definately will.

What I mentioned also has the potential. Why is music, sexual relationships and video games being singled out?:confused:

We all (Hmm) have brains we should use them we don't need a brother over an Internet forum making lists of what we should and shouldn't do, it's all in the Qur'an and sunnah, all he is doing is reminding us, which is good because we all need these reminders,

No offence to bro.

Allow me to explain how i had this "stranger thought". I was pondering over the harms of premarital relationships and then i decided to compare it to other forms of entertainment. Im sure many other things may fit into the categories mentioned but these struck me as most common.


To be honest, i never became truelly passionate about islam until i managed to give up music... that says something...


Anyway this was mainly for muslims so its understandable that its difficult for you (sir isambard) to understand.


No offence to bro.
Ok

Those are actually relevant to your life, as books and school, and education for that part, determine how well you perform in later life, and the career you will obtain, and interaction with friends consitute an important side to your social character.

It's not about video games specifically (although music is, and it is forbidden in islam), it's about wasting time which could be used productively for good. Playing video games isn't haram, but if you do it in excesses, so that you barely have time for the other things in life, then that's when it does become haram. Basically, even if something is halal, it should be taken in moderation.

i cant find it but its basically about a boy who found a girl he liked so much, and once they were to meet up after some time and she ended up delaying, he waited so long that when she finally came he was so happy that he bowed to her...

it might not be authentic, but it sends a good message.

ok ok gosh. no one said video games were haram anyway, all he said was that some people play video games too much, that they forget to pray, or do anything worth there lives. and also like we said...There is no verse about video games in the quraan, not because they havent been invented that time (the quraan knows the future..duh..look at my thread about it) but because they R NOT HARAM... get it?

"video games/tv/music - you will ignore others when you get too into it"

You may want to read a little closer next time. He never suggested a possibility. He made a definitive claim.

Well the reply you cited was a reply to this

"We all (Hmm) have brains we should use them we don't need a brother over an Internet forum making lists of what we should and shouldn't do, it's all in the Qur'an and sunnah, all he is doing is reminding us, which is good because we all need these reminders,

So Umma west said he's ony reminding of what is haram w/o addressing maybes of video games. Another definitive statement
