Answer by magicofdawn (again)
It says use some common sense and stop asking about every little detail of your life because allah is sick of people who can’t think for themselves.

Well, that’s what it should say.

Answer by *Lulu*
Islam does not support any violent activities!

Answer by Shay Shay
The Quran was transcribed 1400 years ago….therefore it says nothing about video games.

Use your discretion. Only you *will* know how and if the games will influence you. Personally, I don’t see it as a big deal unless you’re obsessed.

Salams.

Answer by Zephyr~~~
Islam is against gaming addiction where the person isolated themselves from the real world and retreat hour upon hour in gaming.
Missing out on valuable social interaction with family, life and probably five times daily Salaat!
The importance of time and negative implication of frivolously wiling away this valuable capital has been strongly mentioned in the Qur’ãn and Hadith.

Some facts of violence gaming addiction:
: With playing increasing violent games, the gamer has acceptance of violence as a way to settle any conflict!
: With heavy continuance violence gaming, there can be increased anti-social and aggressive behavior!
: Also in some gamers, increased levels of fear due to perceiving the world as violent, result of gaming violence!
: Perhaps in other gamers, the leading desire to experience more violence in more hours spent in gaming (start play in the afternoon untill the next morning) and in real life violence!
