Abstract

Modern, traditional and Islamic entertainment have points of commonality and difference that must be clearly defined in order to understand the Islamic rulings surrounding it. The present research, with descriptive analytical method, seeks to clarify the concepts of leisure and entertainment from the Islamic point of view. From the Islamic point of view, in the concept of entertainment, there is a sensual state and spending leisure time, which takes place voluntarily (actively or passively) without the dignity of profiting, and since Man has responsibility as long as he has reason, authority, knowledge and power. Entertainment should not be a way to free oneself from basic family, cultural, social and religious duties.

Playing also includes some conceptual elements of entertainment, and from the Islamic point of view, laab is not condemned by itself.
