HAVING FUN THE HALAL WAY

Some people tend to shun all forms of enjoyment , labeling them with their “haraam tags” or “useless” pastimes of the material world; whereas some other, while observing the basic rituals of Islam enjoy the lighter side of life, sometimes compromising their Deen in the name Of FUN which according to them is living the balanced life… but is it? Where do we find a Balance?

Allah (S.A.W) says: “And so we have made you a balanced nation” Surah Baqarah: 143

Worry not! Having fun is actually Sunnah!

“The companions used to play by throwing watermelon skins at each other, but when it was time for seriousness, they were real men.”

With time, the modes of entertainment have also changed. With all this POP culture surrounding us, and everything so enticing, we often get confused as to where one must draw a line. At this course “The Perfect Break”, we shall discover the fine lines between fun and disobedience. Embark with us on this Journey with Ustadh Kashif and explore the protocols for Halal entertainment.
