Saadia: I find that article does not prove worthy for me to disengage playing chess.

Alright, given we are here to worship Allah. But we are human beings and we do have LIKES and DISLIKES. Our Prophet was a human and he too LIKED playing games with his wife, archery. Our Prophet LIKED the colour green and disliked red.

I like the colour red and like playing chess but there is no reason to declare it HARAAM because our Prophet did not play or like that color. If it were declared haraam then it would be clearly written.

These are his likes and dislikes. The entire article does not prove a single point if Chess is to be played or not.

Yes, I may sound ignorant but its one of those shady topics. I'd like some more explanation. I play the game in moderation and not in excess. I personally don't find the game HARAAM.

It is also noted in the article that other games were disliked by our Prophet when infact I've heard that wrestling is sunnah and being sunnah it must be liked by our Prophet.

This article you've refered to is a bit extreme in my point of view. Don't you think so?

Kindly prove how it is entirely wrong to play chess or and other games besides the games specified in the article.
