What is the ruling on listening to the Qur’an while playing computer games themselves?

Reciting and listening to the Quran are among the best deeds a Muslim should be keen on. Whoever listens to a verse receives a multiplied good deed, and whoever recites it will have it as a light on the Day of Resurrection. It has been said that mercy is quicker to reach the one who listens to the Quran, according to the Almighty’s saying: "And when the Quran is recited, listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy." However, playing on a computer or other devices while the Quran is being played contradicts listening, paying attention, and revering the sacred laws of Allah. Therefore, it is not permissible to engage in playing and amusement while listening. If one decides to play, he must turn off the recitation.
