Is the appearance of the word "Godlike" in an electronic game considered disbelief in God (kufr bi Allah), knowing that the player himself avoids reaching this stage, but it may appear to an opponent or one of his teammates?
Playing games that contain blasphemous statements or scenes is forbidden (haram), but it is not an act of disbelief (kufr) as long as the player rejects them and believes in their falsehood. A Muslim must avoid any game about which they suspect the presence of a Sharia-proscribed element, for avoiding it is easy and abandoning it does no harm. A Muslim should utilize their time in what benefits them in their religion and their worldly life, for they will be held accountable for their time on the Day of Judgment. Wasting time is a sign of divine punishment, and it is more severe than death, because it severs the servant from Allah and the Hereafter, and it is considered among the most serious impediments on the path to Allah and the Hereafter. The greatest wastes are the waste of the heart and the waste of time, and these two are the origin of all waste.
