The Prophet’s Sayings About Gaming
The Prophet Muhammad said, “Play is the spring of the child.” The reason why the word spring is used in this hadith may be that spring symbolizes the revival of nature when children grow, develop and develop their characters through play.
Play is an important educational tool for children. During play, children adopt roles, obey rules and contribute to character development. Therefore, parents need to support children’s character development by caring about game rules.
Values Children Learn
- During play, the child learns that there are rules and understands that life is shaped by certain rules.
- He understands the importance of his own efforts and the necessity of being rewarded for his efforts.
- He/she becomes aware of his/her responsibilities towards those around him/her and develops his/her sense of empathy.
Concepts of Struggle and Success
During play, children learn to cope with challenges and work towards success, so they can deal more effectively with the challenges they face in life.
View of Life and Goals
Play creates a sense of purpose in children, allowing them to focus on success. This supports children in having goals and motivation in life. It is important for parents to encourage children to move forward with a positive outlook on life.
