Muslims Can't Have Fun?

In Islam Almighty God tells us in His final testament the Qur'an, "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." (Qur'an 51:56). 

But worshipping God doesn't mean we abstain from marriage or having fun with our children or having beneficial careers. Rather, we worship God by not going beyond the limits He in His infinite wisdom has laid down for us, or fall short of them. We are moderate in our religion so we don't go to the extreme of being promiscuous or the other extreme of being celibate. Our fun, our careers, our relationships with friends, family and society and our transactions are moderated by following the example of our beloved prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). 

During his time a group of men got together and one of them said, “I will pray at night and never sleep.” Another said, “I will fast and never break my fast.” The third one said, “I will never marry women.” News of that reached the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said, “What is wrong with people who say such and such? I fast and I break my fast. I sleep, and I marry women. Whoever overlooks my Sunnah (way) does not belong to me.” 

He also said, "“Your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you, your wife has a right over you and your guests have a right over you.”
