Ramadan: what are ur hobbies ? time is Life :)?

taken from:

http://www.missionislam.com/health/timel ife.htm

In view of the reality of Islam, ..... it has affirmed the soul and the body’s right to have their share of rest and relaxation.
The Messenger of Allah said, “Surely, your body has a right upon you and your family has a right upon you. So give each their right.”
(Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim)


The soul might become tired because of a long work. And the hearts also are tired like bodies. ‘Alee said, “Give the hearts an hour of rest every now and then, for if the heart is coerced into work it becomes blind.”


Nevertheless, this recreation should not be allowed to exceed the limits of what is permissible. It is authentically reported that the Messenger of used to make jokes but he would not say anything but the truth. He engaged ‘Aaishah in a race, played with children and encouraged playing with one’s wife. He approved that the Abyssinians should play with their javelins. He would tell his companions, “Throw [arrows], for your father was an arrow-thrower.” These are some of the allowed recreation that do not consume all the time and that do not become one’s perpetual habit.


Making oneself happy and cheerful and refreshing oneself through permitted recreational activities are some of the things that Islam considers in its law. A permitted recreational activity is the one that does not contradict the fundamentals and laws of Islam It should not be a forbidden thing or lead to a forbidden thing or block the way to an obligatory deed.


Brethren in faith! Since vacations have become a reality in people’s life, the conscious Muslim should therefore always keep two things at the back of his mind:


One: That the time of vacation is a part of his life, that time is life and that vacation does not mean abandonment of works.


Two: That he is not excused from abiding by Islamic obligations. For, man is required to use all his time in worshipping Allah, which is the purpose for which he was created. Allah says,


“And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).”

(Adh-Dhaariyaat 51:56)

thanks for sharing, ur answer is VERYYYYYY interesting.... jazaka llah khayran. amin

assalamo alaykom bro


Jazak Allahu khair, wa Barak Allahu feeki, sister.

Well, I really like to read when I have a lot of time on my hands. Reading has been a pastime since I was 5 years old (I started reading newspapers at that time =)) I generally read many different types of books from different genres (though I despise romance), it's really boring to stick to one genre for your whole adolescent life; you have to diversify in a way.

I also like to write. Alhamdulillah, I'm working on my first major literary piece and I'm still finding ideas for it day by day, I'm such a perfectionist lol. Other than that, I love drawing. It covers from random sketches during Biology class to real-time scenery which takes weeks to perfect. I'm working on domes, currently. The architectures of the mosque during the past centuries are pretty fascinating to observe and duplicate.

Am I missing anything...hmm.

Oh! Photography and Photoshop!

I'm officially a Photoshop addict, though an amateur user lol. It's really fun to learn these cool edits and stuff; my brother on the other hand is much more complex than me; I do it with pictures, he edit videos o.O tech geeks ahah =D

As you can see, all of my hobbies are individual things (showing how I'm an introvert lol). I find a serene pleasure and comfort doing these things by myself when no one will interrupt me.

Of course, I interact with my family and go out with them, but it is wrong to consider that as a hobby. That's a responsibility of a child; to love your parents and to respect them and maintaining the structural compactness of your family.

Insha Allah, we all try our strive our best to fit our lifestyle in accordance to Islam and strictly withing its folds so we do not deviate from the right path.

Insha Allah khair.

Salam Alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh.

Is early sex the reason for what's wrong for the relationships of (especially) high schoolers/college students?

I think the reasons for failure of relationships have resulted since sex has become more of a "fun"/recreational activity for the youth than a deep, meaningful thing. Look at how the media talks everything about sex, like leisurely things, like playing PS.

The thing is, sex is something that takes away an individual's youth, and demands responsibility. Relationships require that. When high schoolers get into a "deep relationship", they are not self-sufficient and are dependent on their partners; emotionally and physically. They run on blind emotions. They can't live without their partners, but can without everyone else: family, society etc. This creates dependency, which causes problems in relationships. You/your partner need to be stable. Relationships won't ever be like your first date; being with your partner 24/7 365 days a year will cause more harm than good. You have responsibilities for other people too; friends, family. The only thing important in a relationship is the reassurance that if you're feeling down/have a bad day; you will have the unflinching support of your partner.


yes.

I would have to say no it isn't, because I can't imagine a visually impaired person on an archery range... can you? :]

i would think so..but still this is kind of bias and slightly ignorant
because the only way you can find the wrong in relationships and with people is to actually expericence. why do you think people look to old or older people for advice? because of EXPERIENCE. you cant vouch for anything unless you got the experience to back it up. teens got to learn in order for when they get older to not make some mistakes. life is a learning process.

The problem with relationships for young people,are that they are young and don't always have the experience it takes to keep a commitment. Plus, young people change, couples may not change in a way that can keep their partners satisfied. It's about youth, not sex.


Mighty America's 5 stages of rapid decline

Why do The Mighty fall? "If some of the greatest companies in history can go from iconic to irrelevant, what might we learn by studying their demise, and how can others avoid their fate?" Then fate did intervene, a call came that got his adrenaline flowing faster than hanging high on arocky cliff:

"Would like you to come to West Point to lead a discussion with some great students?" A seminar for cadets? No, "12 generals, 12 CEOs, and 12 social sector leaders ... and they'll really want to dialogue about the topic."

What topic? "America!" America? "What could I possibly teach this esteemed group about America?" A lot. The core issue became clear when the CEO of one of America's top companies pulled him aside: "We've had tremendous success in recent years," but "when you are at the top of the world ... the most powerful nation on Earth ... the most successful company in your industry ... the best player in your game ... your very power and success might cover up the fact that you're already on the path of decline?"

The Hermit Crab: Blind Spots

As I was recently standing in my unheated backroom, diligently breaking down cardboard boxes, it dawned on me that we have a pretty small carbon footprint.

A carbon footprint is a measure of the impact our activities have on the environment, and in particular climate change. It relates to the amount of greenhouse gases produced in our day-to-day lives through burning fossil fuels for electricity, heating and transportation etc. To environmentalists, it’s like you stepped in dog-doo and are walking all over the carpet.  But our messy footprint seems to be relatively small, as least for an American. Our electric bills, for an old four-bedroom farmhouse, are routinely under $100 a month, even in winter. We hang up our clothes to dry, use recyclable bags at the supermarket (except when we forget them and leave them at home-which is frequently) and recycle. We use about five gallons of gasoline in a typical week and produce one bag of garbage in the same time period.
