Mahzala

فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ
To be Muslim does not exclude us from having such desires. Islam is a congregational religion. We are encouraged to be a part of legitimate gatherings and socialise among our likes. As Muslims, when we feed our souls, our pleasure is sought. And everyone's soul food differs. For some, it is seeing and knowing the well-being of family and friends, while for others, it is actively partaking in gatherings where the foundation is pursuing knowledge. If that's a continuum, then they are both on either ends, with a lot in the middle. Be mindful of the fact that every action, and its reward or sin, is based on the intention it was pursued for. So, even in your fun, it is not impossible to rectify your intention, which in turn may be the source of weighing up the scales on your good deeds.

And if you're after a specific set of ideas, well, that I guess depends on your age, your social circle, and the practicalities of you actually fulfilling some of them. Not that you should provide this sort of information, but there is a world out there, of legitimate pleasure you can indulge. Happy searching your soul food!
