Islam is a natural religion by nature. It touches all the aspects of life and lightens the path in which a person moves forward. Islam plays a special attention to soul and body, and commands to protect our mental and physical health. Thus Islam promotes all permissible ways to maintain it.

A major accusation against Islam is it doesn’t promote entertainment, and Islam is full of Ibadath.
