as a habit or for sinful activities in which unfortunately Muslims are also included. Such people do not take care of permissible and impermissible acts. A Muslim should perform each and every act according to the Shari’ah, for example if it is not used in impermissible and sinful activities, but only used in useless things, even then it should be avoided, because useless activities in addition to wasting our time, affects the pleasure and beauty of our Islam.

The Prophet of creation, the Peace of our heart and mind, the most Generous and Kind صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has stated: ‘مِنۡ حُسۡنِ اِسۡلَامِ الۡمَرۡءِ تَرۡكُهُ مَا لَا يَعۡنِيۡهِ’ To abandon useless and purposeless activities is one of the beauties of Islam.
