    Halal video games (OP)


    Assalamu alaikum everyone,

    I study at university and also study the deen yet I still find myself with spare time. I need a hobby so I'm thinking of getting into the gaming scene but I have noticed there are loads of games that are haram and I'm finding it difficult to find games which are halal. Could you guys suggest any halal games for me? I have just bought a PS4 btw so PS4 games would be preferred

    My requirements are:

    No sexual content/ sexual references
    No profanity
    Must not have music or you should be able to mute it and still be able to play the game
    Must not have extreme violence, like cannibalism for example
    No shirk, must not encourage any sins or have others commiting any sins in the game

    Jazak Allah khayran

    Did it occur that nothing in this post has anything to do with video games, that this argument would work equally well if "video games" were replaced with just about any halal activity?

    Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu.
    I know the answer to your question: you could download the app
    called "Salah Islamic Prayer Game"! It's an extremely great/fun game
    for any practicing Muslim, especially if you're new to Islam.
    It's also rated 5/5 stars

    - - - Updated - - -

    It's created by IslamiCity.Org

    - - - Updated - - -

    The app "Salah Islamic Prayer Game" isn't a video game though...

    - - - Updated - - -

    Remember everyone,
    Games that are addictive are considered haram in Islam!

    That's extremely correct/true, Zaria. Surely, we never know when we'll die. We must focus on the truth and have strong iman (faith) in Allah. Video games create addiction, which is not halal in Islam. In fact games that make you turn away from Allah or create hatred for competition against money (even if it's fake) is haram.
    Jazakallahukhairan brothers and sisters.

    Is it permissible to play and create video games?

    In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

    As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

    1) Verily, Allah has created us for the purpose of His worship. One should adopt only those actions that lead us to the recognition, pleasure and nearness of Allah. Likewise, all futile and useless activities which result in no good in both the worlds should be abandoned.

    Allah says:“And from among the people, there is he who buys the distracting amusement of things, so that he, being devoid of knowledge, may mislead (people) from the Way of Allah and make a mockery of it. Such people are the ones for whom there is a disgraceful punishment

    ”Video games generally fall in the category of amusement (lahw) and are thus detested and should be avoided.[1]

    The perfection of a person’s faith and obedience is in his abstinence from that which is useless and brings forth no goodness.[2]

    The playing of video games not only prevents a person from using time effectively but generally involves listening to vulgar language, viewing indecent material and is also responsible for serious social and psychological implications.

    It will be impermissible to play any video game which either:

    a) Brings forth no good in this world or the Hereafter,
    b) Entails anything contrary to Islamic law,
    c) Comprises more harm and evil than benefit and good,
    d) Or is simply undertaken for amusement purposes and is a hindrance from total servitude to Allah.[3]

    2) As far as designing and creating video games is concerned, it is permissible to do so with the following conditions:

    a) The game should not have any animate pictures.
    b) It should not have music (which you have stated).
    c) It should be free from any lewd or vulgar language.
    d) It should not promote immorality, decadence or evil.
    e) There should be some Shar῾ī benefit to the game.
    It is also permissible to upload such games and sell them.

    And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

    ''Sekiro'' has ''praying to idols'' in it. It is clearly not halal. Also it has fake gods in it.

Most people need some time to relax doing something they find enjoyable.

    And unless you spend every waking moment in ibadah and study of the deen, you really don't have a right to tell others to simply do religious things. There has to be moderation in everything.

    Barakallahu feekum.
    Question

    Is it permissible to write (S) or (SAWS) etc when mentioning the Prophet SAWS (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), instead of writing out the blessing in full?

    Answer

    Praise be to Allah.

    What is prescribed is to write “salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa salaam (May Allaah send blessings and peace upon him)” in full, and not to write it in abbreviated form, such as writing (S) or (SAWS) etc.

    Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:

    As it is prescribed to send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in prayer when saying the tashahhud, and it is prescribed when giving khutbahs, saying du’aa’ and praying for forgiveness, and after the adhaan, and when entering and exiting the mosque, and when mentioning him in other circumstances, so it is more important to do so when writing his name in a book, letter, article and so on. So it is prescribed to write the blessing in full so as to fulfil the command that Allaah has given to us, and so that the reader will remember to say the blessing when he reads it. So we should not write the blessing on the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in short form such as writing (S) or (SAWS) etc, or other forms that some writers use, because that is going against the command of Allaah in His Book, where He says (interpretation of the meaning):

    “Send your Salaah on (ask Allaah to bless) him (Muhammad), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic way of greeting (salutation, i.e. As‑Salaamu ‘Alaykum)”

    [al-Ahzaab 33:56]

    And that (writing it in abbreviated form) does not serve that purpose and is devoid of the virtue of writing “salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa salaam (May Allaah send blessings and peace upon him)” in full. Moreover the reader may not take notice of it and may not understand what is meant by it. It should also be noted that the symbol used for it is regarded as disapproved by the scholars, who warned against it.
