Having Fun is Part of Islam | 30 Reasons to be a Muslim | Ramadan 2023 series | Dr. Shabir Ally

Eid Mubarak! The last reason in our series of 30 reasons for being a Muslim: Islam welcomes fun and enjoyment. Often, we think of religious people as serious people. But in Islam, Dr. Shabir Ally says, we can be religious and fun at the same time. When we think back to religious figures in history, the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is unique for his laughter and his use of wit and humor. He encouraged sports, especially swimming, horseback riding and archery. He raced with his wife. He had a friendly wrestling match. He permitted the beating of a tambourine, especially on the day of Eid. Having good halal fun time with your family and friends is part of being a good Muslim. So enjoy this blessed day of Eid! May God accept all of your good works in the month of Ramadan, and may God bless you and keep you happy today and forevermore!

Thank you for bringing this up! I've noticed a lot of younger Muslims have such a dark aesthetic. Muslim tiktoks are always so dark and rainy lol

On the behalf of every Orthodox believer I would like to say thankyou for having that great intellectual conversion with Jay Dyer .
We are very lucky to have had the chance of hearing a man of your wisdom and intellectual capacity to have came on and spoken with us.
We all know you are the
#1 debater within the whole Islamic Ummah in the Western Society.

There should be more people out there in likes to yourself within your Ummah,
Too many young Muslims in the West who try the Dawah, Social media but committing Shirk on a daily basis .

God bless you and all your subscribers.

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 253 Grade Sahih
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Do not laugh a lot. Much laughter kills the heart.". 😔

I pictured a few times in the Christian Bible of implied laughter or joking from Jesus. I pictured him as a child in the temple being quite humorous in speaking to them at temple and his response about being in his father's house. 😂😂😂
I pictured his dividing bread and fish for the many on the mount to have been quite humorous too. I bet everyone there were amused at his feeding so many on so little...

the story of Jesus being returned from the dead, telling his apostles to cast their net on the other side of their boat to be quite a funny story. There's a certain humor to those books I think... but its definitely implied and not overt.

Dear Sheik, is telling jokes allowed in Islam, as far as this jokes are not discriminating people or insult people?

[calonstanni]

I'm glad the prophet didn't ban bouncy houses but this doesn't make Islam sound like fun at all. At least jesus turned water into wine for a wedding celebration, and jesus never banned melodious instruments nor singing so at least there's music to love. "Jeremiah 31:13: “The young women will dance for joy, and the men—old and young—will join in the celebration. I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing.” Also, There's also no restrictions on christians when it comes to art, so THAT's at least some fun. Who doesn't want to paint a the beheading of Holofernes? Now THAT's fun! 😝

If we accept God’s sacrifice/crucification you dint need to sacrifice goat/animal every year

I find it interesting how Shabir uses hadith he likes to prove a point, but denies hadith in general as it is filled with so much embarrassing details about Muhammad.

[charlesmuhmanson]

I have been watching all of these during Ramadan hoping to find hard evidence that Islam is true. All he did with these is interpret his scriptures in a positive way while ignoring all the problems. It might make muslims to feel good about themselves. but it did nothing to convince a non-believer that Islam has the necessary evidence to be convincing.
