How can balance and moderation be achieved in religious observance alongside self-recreation, and what are the possible means for that?

Moderation in commitment is adhering to the middle path without excess or negligence. This is achieved by giving everyone their due rights: Allah has rights, such as performing obligatory duties and drawing near to Him through supererogatory acts; creation has rights, such as family, neighbors, and friends; and the self has rights, through permissible recreation. This permissible recreation should not come at the expense of religious obligations or be through forbidden means. Its examples are numerous, such as going out for hunting, swimming, recreational trips, sports, and mental recreation programs.
