for the hereafter. But at the same time that we can enjoy the life that we live in, we can enjoy the good things in life. As long as we don't fall into that which is haram. Another misconception that many of us have is that in order to have fun and to enjoy life, that we have to do that which is haram, when Allah subhanaw taala has blessed us with so many Halal alternatives.
