الترويج في ضوء السنة النبوية(دراسة تحليلية)

The Prophet peace be upon him is the best guide for the Ummah who guided them to everything that is beneficial for

them in this world and the hereafter. His guidance is always of great wisdom, and among his guidance is the

practice of recreational activities, the activities that a person does in his spare time for the pleasure and releasing

oneself, achieving balance, renewing his energy and activity, reviving his abilities to work, and developing his

mental, spiritual and physical faculties. Islam, as it emphasized on effort, diligence and the benefit of time, it also

emphasized giving the soul rest and extroversion in line with the nature of man, it prohibited monasticism which is

abandoning the world and asceticism in it, staying away from humans and devoting oneself solely to worship, and

when the Prophet, peace be upon him, was told about a companion Amr bin Al-Aas that he remains awake at night

and fasts during the day, so he said: “Do not do that, get up, sleep, fast and break the fast”. if we look at the wisdom

of sleep, it removes the fatigue of the day, the Almighty said: “And We have made your sleep a source of rest” (alNabaa:9), meaning cutting off movement to obtain relief from frequent work and striving for sustenance during the

day. The Sunnah of the Prophet has large number of Ahadith that indicate the legitimacy of recreation, as specified

rulings for it have also being mentioned, and we find from the fragrant biography of the Prophet that he peace and

blessings be upon him, practiced various aspects of recreation, entertainment and permissible amusement, so he

used to race, joke and so on. We also find that the Prophet’s recreation was not random, but aimed at lofty goals,

the most important of which are: improving the movement of the body, revitalizing the body, saving the person from

boredom, fatigue, anxiety, depression and congestion of chest as well as other painful feelings that cause disinterest

in serious activities , just as through recreation the tolerance of Islam is observed that includes all aspects of life

and not as some imagine that Islam does not entertains the concept of comfort and social space rather is a religion

of violence and severity. The Messenger peace be upon him through his establishment of recreational activities

whether through his personal involvement or his presence made the concept clear that Islam endorses the idea of

recreation, social space and comfort and giving each person his right.
