“Happy are those who find fault with themselves instead of finding fault with others.” – Prophet Muhammad
In the exhilarating realm of digital games, where East and West merge seamlessly, it’s high time we recognised the profound unity that often lies beneath the surface of our cultural differences. The way our media sometimes portrays the ‘other’ has led to a notable absence of virtuous representation. Take Islam, for instance; it’s all too frequently associated with war games, despite the fact that the majority of Muslims consider this portrayal a far cry from the true essence of their religion, which they rightfully call ‘Peace.’
It's quite Major...
Islam, being the second-largest religion globally, boasts a remarkably diverse community that spans from the enchanting landscapes of West Africa’s Ghana to the bustling metropolis of Dubai in the Middle East. Yet, despite comprising roughly one-third of the world’s population, there’s been a noticeable hesitancy in incorporating Islamic morals, which are universal, into games and media as a whole.

So, what are these values that this vibrant religion has to offer, and why should we all enthusiastically embrace them in our lives and games (while keeping the genre in mind, of course)? Here are 10 Islamic moral values that have the power to enrich our virtual and real-world experiences:
- Compassion (Rahma): compassion and mercy is central in Islam. It reminds us to show kindness, empathy, and understanding to one another, fostering a more compassionate and caring world.
- Justice (Adl): Justice is a fundamental Islamic value that calls for fairness and equality. It serves as a reminder that a just society benefits everyone, regardless of their background.
- Forgiveness (Maghfirah): Forgiveness is a powerful concept in Islam, emphasizing the importance of letting go of grudges and moving forward. It teaches us that forgiveness can bring healing and reconciliation.
- Unity (Tawhid): Tawhid represents the oneness of God in Islam, but it also carries a broader message of unity among humanity. It encourages us to recognize our shared humanity and the interconnectedness of all people.
- Gratitude (Shukr): Gratitude is a universal virtue promoted in Islam. It encourages us to appreciate the blessings in our lives and fosters a sense of contentment and positivity.
- Honesty (Sadaqah): Speak and act truthfully, and uphold honesty in all dealings.
- Generosity (Sakhā): Share your wealth and resources with those in need.
