INTRODUCTION

Most of the leisure industry is about giving people the chance to socialize in a positive way. Sadly, some economical benefits that come from pushing alcohol, drugs and even juvenile crimes have been exploited. Children are often psychological prepared through films, magazines and the mass media to fall head first in to these type so things. Parents need support to prepare children to maneuver themselves away from these.

This book helps in this process. Teachers who deliver this must give children chance to reflect on what they experience. Social groups within the classroom must be encouraged so that friendships are formed to work outside the classroom. Madrasah is advised also to arrange social functions – trips, quizs, plays etc – so that children learn positive social interactions.

LESSON 1

HAVE FUN AND BE HAPPY

1.1 FUN IS GOOD!

The Golden Rule of having fun is:

Have fun without hurting anybody

Having fun means playing, joking, going out and even reading a funny book. Islam says that to have fun is good provided we do not do bad things when having fun.

1.2 GOOD GAMES

To enjoy life you should make a habit of playing sports because it keeps you fit and keeps your mind cheerful.

Sports like football, netball and badminton are just few examples of good sports you can play, but there are many more. You may also want to try leisure sports like horse riding, bowling and golf. There are also many mind sports like quiz games and draughts that you may want to take up. Just remember that if you want to have a happy time than sports is excellent.

To play sports regularly you may have to belong to a club. You may have to save some money to join a club. But it would be worth it because in a club you can have adults who will help you.

1.3 RULES OF SPORTS

“Sports is not about wining but about taking part.”

Sports becomes fun when people play and enjoy themselves. They are not worried about just winning. To enjoy sports or games you should following the Sporting Rules.

1. Try your best but do not die to win

2. Give others a chance to play too

3. Do not get carried away

4. Do not abuse others or damage things

5. Keep things tidy. Do not leave your things for

your mother to pick up after you.

6. Dress smartly and decently.

7. Do not get carried away with sports fashions.

8. Never fight

9. Have a good time with everybody

Those people who get carried away about winning tend to get sad when they lose. So they start arguing and fighting. They even get jealous and angry. They make enemies and even cry at home to their parents for losing.

But when they win they get proud and they abuse the losers. This is a bad ‘sports attitude.’ Sports is about trying your best. It is not about making enemies of other people.

If you are playing against another team shake hands with each other when the game finishes. Keep everybody your friend. Hazrat Ali said that one of the best qualities that the Prophet liked was friendliness. So if you want to follow the Prophet Muhammad then be friendly with everybody.

Toy must do activities a lot but not damage your body. So list activities you can do in one column and activities you must not do in another.

LESSON 2

PLAYING TOGETHER

2.1 SPORTS IN THE FAMILY

Many sports are much more fun when you play together in a family. Give everybody a chance and see how dad’s tummy wobbles when he jumps! Try playing some of the sports with your teachers. See if you can play better than them and see if you can teach them how to play properly.

Families which are in to sports are often happy families. When families play together they learn about team work, about helping each other, about not getting angry at each other and about looking after each other. The Prophet Muhammad liked to play with his grandchildren. He would like to race with them and ride horses with them. He was a fun person to be with and children always came to him with big smiles on their faces.

Always remember the Sports Rules! So if you play with little children you should let them win sometimes. This will make them happy. If you see someone in the family who is very good at sports then you should encourage them and help them practice harder so that they can win medals in competitions. But they should try hard and win without getting proud or superior minded.

2.2 UNABLE TO PLAY

Some people are unfortunate because they have a disability or an illness which stops them from taking part in sports. In today’s world there are many sports people can enjoy despite having problems. So if you have a problem do not lose heart but find out how you can participate in all kind of sports.

2.3 THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD

The Prophet Muhammad said to his Companions that they should learn things like horse riding and swimming. He also like watching races and he enjoyed walking and traveling. Many times he would walk to the mountains with his Companions and they were often seen laughing and looking happy. This is because Islam is the religion which brought happiness in the lives of people.

2.4 HEROS WORSHIP

Some people think that only those who score goals are heroes. They forget that everybody who tries hard is a hero. The best heroes are those who will be good to others when they win and even when they lose.

So if you want to have a hero then have some one who is good. Don’t have proud heroes who only care about themselves and only about winning.

2.5 DO NOT GET CARRIED AWAY

People who get carried away start fighting, blaming others or mocking others. Some people get carried away by overdoing it. So too much running or exercising is bad for you. It is important to understand that if you overdo a sports activity that is bad for you then you can injure yourself for life.

One example of getting carried away is to play in the hot sun. It can dehydrate you and even kill you. Some people who have asthma also need to be careful because they can get an attack. Others get carried away and injure themselves by falling and breaking their bones. People have even died because they get carried away while playing, swimming or by riding. So always be careful by not overdoing it and by doing things properly.

There are also people who get carried away by buying expensive items for sports. They buy things that they do not really need. They have no sense of balance! This is an important point to think about if you do not want to get carried away.

LESSON 3

HURTING OTHERS IS NOT FUN

3.1 MAKING FUN OF OTHERS

Remember the Golden Rule: “Have fun without hurting others!’’ But some people have fun by making fun of others. They call others silly names and say bad things about others. This kind of fun is called Fun at Somebody Else’s Expense. Islam says that this kind of fun is HARAM.

Islam says that those who make fun of others never make good friends. Today they say bad things about others and tomorrow they will say bad things about you. So you should be careful of them.

You should also never mock people because of the way they look. You should not say: ‘O look at that fat boy!’ You should never mock people because of their colour or religion or job. You have to remember that God has made us all and if we mock others than God is very displeased with us.

Look around you and think that everybody God has made is special in some way. You are not higher or lower than others. Everybody is important. So do not mock others even if they are your enemies.

Do you know that the people who ‘mock’ are people like the Pharaoh and Yazid. These evil people mocked everybody and laughed at them. Yazid even laughed at Imam Hussain while be pocked his stick in his mouth. So never ever mock others because it is a great sin.

3.2 SHARING THE GAMES

It is good to share things but never damage or lose things. If by accident you do damage or lose things then replace it if it belongs to someone else. Some people will damage things or lose things and never tell anybody. They will then blame it on others. Such people are cowards because they cannot admit their mistakes.

Sometimes it is good to belong to a club where you can play all sorts of games with your friends. Sharing with others will help you become friends with others. But always follow the rules and never cheat. People who cheat will never be fun to play with and they will never be good friends to be with.

3.3 PUSHING AND BULLYING

Some people are so immature that they cannot play with others without hurting others. So they start fighting and bullying others. They are not fun to be with.

Often bullies think that they are clever and tough. But they are just immature and spoilt kids like gorillas. They also try to be cunning when they bully others. They bully others in private but then they pretend to be good. These kind of people are the worst in the world. Stay away from such people because they will make you do things which are harram to do. They will also make you in to a bully like them!

Some people bully others because they are just jealous. So if they smoke cigarettes then they pretend that smoking makes them clever and trendy. But they are wrong because doing bad things only makes them bad and mad.

Bullies also try to make you do things by calling your names, by spoiling your names or by fighting with you. But Islam says that you should not allow the bullies to make you do bad. If all the good people stood up to bullies then the bullies will just get frightened. Remember Imam Hussain stood up against the bully called Yazid. Imam Hussain was not afraid and today everybody loves Imam Hussain and hates Yazid.

D. Try to write or read a story of a bully who bullies his friends by mocking them.Write an incident when you were confronted by a bully. Write down how you felt and what you could have done in order to get the bully to stop.

LESSON 4

GOOD AND BAD PARTIES

4.1 GOING TO A PARTY

These are many types of parties people go to for fun. For example birthday parties and wedding parties. There people eat good food, talk about good and happy things and enjoy each others company. They even do plays and tell jokes.

But not all parties are good because in some parties there is alcohol and drugs. Parties where there is alcohol and drugs are HARRAM. So never go to such parties even if they are in school.

Sometimes men and women get so carried away in parties and they start looking at each other and touching each others. They do all sorts of haram things. Islam says that you should not go to such parties where men and women have no shame to touch each other.

3.2 PARTIES OF THE PAST

Before Prophet Muhammad came the people had parties where they would drink alcohol until they fell to the ground. They thought that this was all good fun! Many people who did not want to go to such parties were afraid that the people would make fun of them. So they went and did what others were doing.

Even today people still do this type of things. They drink, make noises and then vomit or urinate in their trousers. And then they laugh and say that it is all fun! If you tell them that it is bad to go to such parties then they make fun of you. But Islam says that good Muslims should be strong in their decision and avoid such parties.

3.2 WHY ARE SOME PARTIES BAD

Islam wants to protect us! It stops us from going to parties where people get carried away. Here is a letter of a young boy who was being forced by his friends to go to a disco party but he did not want to go:

''Dear Friends,

I thank you for inviting me to the party but because I feel strongly about discos I will not be able to come to the party. Here are some reasons why I do not go to discos:

1. Often people get carried away in disco parties. I do not want to be put in such a situation.

2. Disco parties are the first step to parties where alcohol and drug are present. I do not want to take such a step at my young age.

I agree disco parties can be fun but it does create it's own problems and I am sure you will understand my reasons and will excuse me from the party. I am sure you would not want me to pretend that everything is okay with discosto be happy if I came. Please do excuse me!

''

3.3 ENJOY YOURSELF

If you want to plan a good party there are many good and enjoyable things you can do. You can plan activities which everyone can enjoy like a fashion show, games, play acting, telling jokes, eating tasty food, holding a quiz competition, singing types of songs permissible by Islam, talking to new friends, holding a small debate, watching a video, playing musical chair or musical aerobics where you use hallal music etc. You can have party poppers, funny hats, cakes and many other fun things. It is sometimes fun to have a fancy dress party where everyone dresses in a historical character. Try to wear the turban of Tipu Sultan and give his speech!!

To enjoy yourself and make friends is important. Always go to a party with a smile on your face. Do not be miserable and do not start arguments with others. Try to keep it happy for everybody.

If in a party you are eating food then think of others and do not over eat and finish everything at once. Help to also clear up things at the end. And remember the golden rule of having fun: Do not spoil it for others!

Lesson 5

LEARNING FOR LIFE

Lesson 1: One of the most important lessons we learn about those who bully us is that bullies make us do bad things which we do not want to do. They bully by calling names or by swearing or by fighting. They make us do bad things to ourselves and to others. If you fall in the trap of bullies you will not have a happy life.

Therefore you should never obey a bully, even if they have gangs. Stay away from them and be with your good friends. If you are afraid then tell an adult the difficulty you are having. A good adult will listen to you and help you.

Lesson 2: When having fun you should also never do bad things to others. Remember all people are important and each one has a heart. So do not hurt others and do not allow others to hurt you.

The Prophet Muhammad said a very important thing which is: “Do not oppress and do not be oppressed.” This means many things like do not bully and do not be bullied, do not hurt and do not be hurt etc. It is good to remember what the Prophet said because he came from God to guide us.

Lesson 3: People who have fun often forget their many responsibilities to their family and friends. They are so busy having fun that they get carried away. They do not tidy their rooms, they do not pray, they do not do their homework and they even forget to clean themselves. They are actually hurting themselves and others by getting carried away.

TASK TO DO

A. Get with friends and make a chart of things you should do to stand up against bullies who try to get you to smoke.

B. Write down what the Prophet Muhammad said about being oppressed.

C. Go through the chapter and write down 5 more lessons you have learnt.

E. If you had little brothers and sisters who were beginning to spend a lot of money on useless games and fashion the what would you tell them to convince them that it is wrong to waste money on useless items.
