Such people are the ones for whom there is a disgraceful punishment\u201d. (Surah Luqman, Verse 6)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAllah will admit three people to Paradise by virtue of one arrow: The one who makes it, seeking reward by making it well; the one who shoots it; and the one who hands it to him.\u201d And the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: \u201cShoot and ride, and if you shoot that is dearer to me than if you ride. All things that a Muslim man does for entertainment are in vain except for shooting arrows, training his horse and playing with his wife, for these are things that bring reward.\u201d2<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some of the key points regarding these video games are listed below;<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There are no religious or bodily benefits in these games. Any game which lacks any religious or bodily benefits is not permissible.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Time and money are wasted on it and it makes one unaware of the remembrance of Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The worst harm is that once a person becomes addicted to it, it is hard to let go of it.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The games contain pictures and photos which is not permissible in Shariah.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Although children get the contentment of their hearts from these games, it is impermissible to get attached to impermissible things.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. It weakens the memory of the children and creates obstacles in their education and they lose taste in other beneficial actions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Imam Hasan (\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647) has related that \u0644\u064e\u0647\u0652\u0648\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u064e\u062f\u0650\u064a\u062b\u0650 refers to anything that distracts from the worship and the remembrance of Allah (\u0633\u0628\u062d\u0627\u0646\u0647 \u0648 \u062a\u0639\u0627\u0644\u0649). 3<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n
