Assalaamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuhu
Recreation in Islam is permitted as long as it is within the parameters of the Shariah. Recreation can take different forms, e.g. take walk in the park. That is not only relaxing but it gives one the opportunity to ponder over the creation of Allah. Going to clubs and watching TV fall out of the bounds of the shariah.
