Does it ever seem to you that fun and Islam don't go together? Can there be anything like 'halal fun' and 'halal entertainment'? In this authentic Islamic book, 'Having Fun the Halal Way: Entertainment in Islam', byIsmail Kamdar, the author explores the Islamic guidelines on entertainment and advocates a balanced approach to this topic. This Islamic book about entertainment suggests handy Sharia-compliant ways to have fun in one's daily life.

With the advent of technology, the entertainment industry has flourished and become immensely popular. Combine this with the exponential advances in technology, and the result is an increasing number of ways to amuse ourselves. As a result of such advances, Muslim react in a variety of manners towards entertainment. Some label entertainment as completely forbidden. This sometimes includes parents who say no to almost everything that their young ones deem to be ‘fun’, without providing them with suitable alternatives. Others, who do not want to take this extreme approach, fall into the trap of excessive use of – and even addiction to – various sources of entertainment, without any limits. In Having Fun the Halal Way, Ismail Kamdar explores the teachings of Islam regarding entertainment. Drawing upon the Quran, the Sunnah and the understanding of the righteous scholars of Islam, he provides a detailed and balanced analysis of the topic. He not only explains the detriments of the current entertainment industry, but also suggests alternative means to have a good time with friends and family members.
