Abstract

Addiction to online gaming is a sub type of Internet addiction disorder. The development and recognition of Internet (online) games in modern life inevitably comes with mixed impacts. Islam sees this as a call to increase people’s awareness and to help them deal with the negative impacts of technologies. Islam has also ordered us to act with moderation and balance and to commit no excess. There are three behaviors that are considered in the way Islam views the phenomenon, i.e. excessive self-indulgence, negligence and following evil desires. They are thought to have underlain the development of online gaming addiction.
