Is creating a sim bad?

Salam2You

Lil' Muslimah
Walaikum As-salaam little sister. :)

Well, as long as your Sims are wearing clothes lol joking. That's fine if you ask me inshallah. Your not creating a soul by customizing clothes for your Sims. It's almost like designing your own fashion, but it's on a computer. Now sister, you know that you want to play the Sims. I know I do when I get my new laptop next week inshallah. It's just a computer game. When it comes to your Sims behavior, you have make them Muslim! Make them dress, behave, and live live Muslims. For example, instead of sending Sarah and Yousaf out on a date, they can have a chaperoned outing to the park or something. If they like each other, they can get married inshallah, then it will be halaal for them and halaal for you to play with ease if that will make you feel better by following certain rules when playing if you decide to do so inshallah. That's my advice. our Sims don't have to live or act like the kafir--they can do and be whatever you want them to be!! That's why so many people love the Sims mashaAllah! :ma:

Sister you're so right,

hehe,
I guess the sims is ok to play,
it''s a game after all, no intention to do such things which were mentioned like acting like a creator, N'authu billah!

I have absolutely NOTHING to do in these holidays, and if I keep reading about Islam too much... Well, you know what happened to Iblis.

So I try to chill out on both spiritual and physical states, my intention is clear, and I play it to refrain from outside sins (e.g. going out a lot, then getting into bad influences) especially since it's the holidays.

Allah is all-understanding, I am a 'child' anyway, I'm under 18 hehe

Ya Mabood, Islam is not taken from one's mind/intellect/what they think. There is no such thing as 'my opinion' in Islam. We're not Christians or Jews where we just choose what to follow/believe when it suits us. We have to take Islam from what the qur'aan and sunnah say. They are there for a reason.

Salam alaikum Channa,
yes you're really right, Masha'Allah you have a good point
JazakAllah for reminding us about this

My point exactly, sister Channa. Tell it to Cat Stevens, Channa, Yusuf Islam. Music is one of the purest and most beautiful creations of God Almighty who set the tone and rhythm of every sound in the universe. Music or singing like all the creations of God, that now const...itute an important part of our daily life, can be lawfully used or maliciously abused. Both music and singing are created pure, and beautiful like our fresh air and fresh water and they can be corrupted or polluted by evil-doers of every nationality, color or gender. The corruption of some music shows or songs does not make all the music or songs haram just like the pollution of some water or fresh air by some people will not deem all the water and air haram. Why should art or drawing be singled out? Alhamdulilah for art! :hijabi:

Aww how cute, the little sister hehe. I still feel like a kid sometimes. Don't worry sis. The Sims is so cool. One female Sim that I made was married four or five times! LOL. She had a stepdaughter that despised her, a beautiful daughter that resented her, and so many babies that she couldn't look after them all lol. Poor woman. I can't believe she had such a hard life lol. Subhan Allah. :SMILY335: Ah yes. As a kid, you should have fun. Wouldn't you rather play a computer game than get caught up in something haraam.

Aww have a blessed weekend sis. :hearts:

I'm always here for you, on TTI and in Sunset Valley lol. :blackhijab:

You can't give life to it!!!!!!!!!! It's not going to come alive!! It doesn't even have a freakin' soul for Allah's sake!!!!!!!!!! It's not a human or animal. You guys are a bunch of extremists. Let sister Salam2You choose what she wants. I play the Sims once in a while when I'm not busy. You guys are really nutting up. There are thousands of Muslims who love games, the Sims, reading manga, and watching anime. This is not haraam. Why are you protesting a game? It's not violent or explicit in any way. Shouldn't you be more concerned about child *!*!*!*!ography, animal abusers, serial killers, drug dealers, and prostitution that a PC game??? It's not a big deal! Just because it doesn't have the word "Islam" on it, doesn't mean it's haraam. It's a game. Allah (SWT) never said that we couldn't have fun and play games in our free time when we're not busy or after we've completed our obligations and duties that come first before anything else. :astag:

Sister calm down. You don't have right to call anyone an extremist just because you don't agree. This is a public forum and people can express themselves if they want. Give it a rest already.

I already gave my reason, Channa. You can't give life to anything. They are acting like extremists. :astag:

I see we have quite a lot of people giving their own fatwas over here. We have clear hadiths telling us drawing animate beings is haram haram haram, and that the image maker will be in the fire. There is no such thing as "My opnion" - either you are following the sunnah and Quran, or you are not. However, there is no compulsion in religion - let those people know who still knowingly want to do what is forbidden to us, that there is nothing good or praiseworthy about that. Choose your own path, InshaAllah..

Akhi I believe that ayah refers to disbelievers. (no compulsion in religion)

imitating a creation of Allah is haram u cant draw something that looks like human with eyes with face etc especially if its not for purposes to educate people in a good way its prohibited even then u cant draw a complete human just some remarks that may indicate its a human.Majority of the big scholars would agree with my aswell :) So u are being extremist from ur comments this is what quran and sunnah tells u.No one really needs u or anyone to believe it.U can do what u want even if u dont pray a single prayer it wont harm anyone else but u.Islam wont change just because u want to change it or u dont like sadly it does not work like this ur wording and ur behaviour pretty much shows who is extremist here and is trying to get his point across.But refrain from calling it halal as if someone does that because they thought its halal thanks to ur comments and they started drawing living creatures aswell for art apparently it will also give u more sins so stop making a passive income of sins by calling something haram halal.U want to do it?Go do it :) But dont come on the forum and call it halal because then ur punishment maybe thousands of times more due to the amount of people who may start doing it also thanks to ur comments and music and musical instruments are haram also except 1 and u can hear men singing a good son that is good like praising Allah or something that is not bad.So yes these are the limitations of islam that u have to live with or u can transgress completely ur choice but refrain from calling it halal u can do whatever u want but dont call it halal as it will multiply ur sins for free and i dont think anyone would want Passive Income of bad deeds rather then good deeds.As its indeed the worst possible trade u could make in ur entire life ever.

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَٱلْحَيَوٰةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْغَفُورُ
[He] who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed - and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ ۖ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَـٰعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا
Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward.

So live this life as a test and stop calling people names.........Imagine at the day of judgement ur deeds are equal and u called someone extremist and now ur bad deeds are more and hell becomes ur abode for that as not even an atoms worth of injustice will be done anyone at the Day Of Judgement :) Dear Sister keep this in mind.
