One of the most important rule to follow in life is to keep BALANCE.

Balance is very important in every aspect of life. Be it something materialistic, spiritual, belief, habit, rule, law anything.

If you don't maintain balance, things either go far right or far left which eventually creates problems not only at individual level but on the society as a whole.

Islam also teaches balance. You don't have to pray all the day, you don't have to fast everyday, you are instructed to maintain balance between Deen and Dunya. You have duties towards Allah and also towards His mankind.

If your habit, obsession, or anything leads you away from deen, it's time to come back. There are many restrictions imposed by Islamic laws which sounds unnecessary at the time but Islam just doesn't prepares you for today, it prepares you for tomorrow too. Restrictions which seem illogical today could have a harsh impact on you tomorrow.

It's like unhealthy food. What you eat today won't do any harm right away but keep eating it for a decade and you will see the consequences. So always maintain balance.

For example, Music, now this is an open debate as if Music is Haram or not but just ignore it for a second. Even if it's halal but if you become so obsessed with music that you keep listening or performing all the time, you don't pray, you don't have time to learn about your Deen and it leads you to other harms like drugs, sex etc (I Am not saying all Musicians are bad, it's just an example), then it's better to stay away from music or maintain balance.

Remember, even if one halal thing leads you to another haram thing, it's better to stay away from that halal thing too, because it depends on one emotional and maturity level, how he/she reacts, adopts or understand a particular subject or activity. When you chose an activity, just evaluate the amount of haram and halal involved in it, if there are so many uncompromising things which you think can harm your faith, stay away but if your faith is strong enough that you can ignore the haram stuff, then it's ok. It all depends on an individual. Because there is no perfect activity in the modern world and you can't just stay in your home all the time.

Build your faith, step outside, disregard evil and enjoy.
