What good is a religion that doesn't try to make life less painful?
What good is a religion that takes itself so seriously that there's no fun allowed?
It provides objective truth, it is never meant to be a subjective matter.
If I wanted to have fun, first I'll consult myself to see what is the most fun thing to me, then I will consult the objective constitution that I follow to see if the fun "I'm trying to have" is legal".
Consulting the Quran; I have a severe warning from turning religion into "something fun; a mere game and play":
Quote:Sura 6, The Quran:
https://quran.com/6
(70) And leave those who take this1 faith ˹of Islam˺ as mere play and amusement and are deluded by ˹their˺ worldly life. Yet remind them by this ˹Quran˺, so no one should be ruined for their misdeeds. They will have no protector or intercessor other than Allah. Even if they were to offer every ˹possible˺ ransom, none will be accepted from them. Those are the ones who will be ruined for their misdeeds. They will have a boiling drink and painful punishment for their disbelief.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
