This is the discussion of the famous French chess player...
This is the discussion of the famous French chess player, Chantal Shaw Dossier regarding whom it is said: No one can achieve the distinction to be the world champion of chess except Chantal and the international press and especially the Russian sports writings have praised his expertise and superiority.
Let us see what Chantal himself says: It is sufficient to prove that chess is a tiring game by saying that after the 40 th step if there is no result the game is postponed as happened in Reg or Veg and it was calculated that after the first four steps the total possible tricks were 318976584 and in the first ten step were 169518829100544Then he mentions those people are champions of chess Regarding them he says that it is possible that apart from chess in other matters their capability might be less than the medium stage.
That is what I want to say is that chess is really a dangerous game, because it makes the other mental functions useless and weak. It can be said that chess creates mental disturbance. After this Chantal quotes the statements of another Champion Kheel who always said: In order to win you have to hate your opponent. And in addition to other losses of chess it is an undesirable ethical harm. We must remember that chess is a kind of gambling.
Here we must understand that Islam has prohibited gambling even if there is no winning and losing. Why is it so? It is because actually no gambling is without the condition of losing and winning. The truth is that when there is no question of winning or losing money, this win and loss is in the mind of the contestants. **Moral harms ** If the remembrance of Allah leaves ones heart and this love and affection that is there is no faith in a person, then what remains?
The only thing that remains is evil thoughts accomplishment by a restless, fearful, sorrowful man. The experts of moral science are unanimous on the fact that the true happiness and success of man is hidden in the balance of his feelings, which is compared to justice. And this word actually denotes the making of ones life compatible to the way shown by the Almighty, which is the straight path or Al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem . Because the soul gets peace and tranquility here alone.
In a tradition quoted from our leaders there is indication towards this interesting points: The true man is that who has faith. Gambling is one of those varied actions by which man becomes forgetful of the remembrance of Allah and becomes deprived of faith and good deeds.
