No harrastaako ne muslimit

ne harrastaa urheilua siinä kuin kuka tahansa. Esim Kuqi, joka on Kosovon albaani sattuu olemaan muslimi. Pelannut myös Suomen maajoukkueessa jalkapalloa. Ei ole ainoa urheilija hänkään.

turkki oli jalkapallon mm-kisoissa viimeksi 3..

Uskonto tuskin vaikuttaa mitenkään urheilunharrastamiseen. Jos sä olisit edes hieman sivistynyt, niin tietäisit että esim. kaikkien aikojen parhaat nyrkkeilijät ovat olleet muslimeja (Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson ja moni muu. Ehkäpä juuri tuollaisten tietämättömien ihmisten takia on sotia, koska asioita luullaan enemmän. siinä ehkä muuten yksi syy USA:n muslimivihaan, koska USA:n koulutustaso on todella heikko.

kuinkahan monta muslimia mahtaa olla Torinon kisoissa parhaillaan?

Koraanissa on kuulemma ohjeet ihmisen elikaaren kaikkiin vaiheisiin, mitähän siellä mahtaa olla sanottu urheilusta?

Tässäpä säännöksiä ja lopussa linkkejä joissa kuvia ja kuuluisia muslimeja!

Islam’s Stance on Women’s Practicing Sport
2/16/2004 11:26:00 AM GMT
As-Salamu `alaykum. I would like to know what does Islam say concerning women practicing sports. Are there some rules a woman has to abide by? Jazakum Allah khayran



Answer
Wa`alykum As-Salaamu Warahmatullahi Wabarakaatuh.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear questioner, we’d like to voice our appreciation for the great confidence you repose in us, we pray to Allah Almighty to make our efforts meet your expectations.

First of all, we have to make it clear that sport is full of benefits, not only physical and social ones, but also essential and psychological consequences. It goes without saying that men and women are in need of sport and exercise in order to maintain physical fitness and to be in a more balanced emotional state.

Basically, Islam does not go against sport, rather it encourages it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised his followers to engage in many forms of sport, which are even today considered of the best form of exercise.

However, Islam, being a religion that caters for man’s welfare in this world and maintains his relation with Allah Almighty, sets down rules and conditions that govern man’s acts, in order to keep him on the Straight Path.

Thus, as regards women’s participation in sport, Islam lays down rules that create balance between a Muslim woman’s right to practice sport and the necessity of preserving her dignity and honor. In this regard, Islam sets certain restrictions in order to safeguard Muslim women against immoralities and indecency and to preserve their chastity while preserving their right in practicing sports.

This is what is clear in the fatwa issued by Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, deputy chairman of the European Council for Fatwa and Research. It goes as follows:

"The requirements to be met for a Muslim woman to practice sport relate, at all scales, to her duty to cover the `awrah (parts of the body that are not supposed to be exposed to others; vis-à-vis women, her `awrah is from the navel to the knee; as for men, it is all of her body except the hands, feet, and face). Thus, if there is a sport that woman can practice while adhering to this requirement, then it is permissible for her so long as all other religious requirements are fulfilled. In addition, there should be no kind of photographing or televising that may broadcast these scenes."

Shedding more light on this issue, Dr. `Ali Muhyy Ed-Deen Al-Qara Daaghi, head of the Department of Principles Jurisprudence (Usul Al-Fiqh) at the Faculty of Shari`ah, Qatar Univ., adds:

“It is an undeniable fact that woman’s practicing sport is, in principle, Islamically accepted. However, there are many conditions that are to be met in this respect. They are as follows:

1. Women must not adorn themselves for the purpose of being seen by men.

2. They must not unveil any of their private parts that Islam orders them to cover.

3. They must not intermingle with men in any way that brings them physically close together.

It is reported that when the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) had a race with `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) he made sure that men were on the front and `A’ishah in the back. This has two significances; first the permissibility of woman’s practicing sport, and second the legal requirements that are to be met in this respect. We are here to make it crystal clear that we, Muslims are not to be hot on the Westerners, for they adopt manners that go against the teachings of our religion.”

Thereby, in the light of the above-mentioned facts, it’s clear that women’s practicing sport is governed with restrictions relating to Islamic observances that must be followed.”



May Allah guide you to the straight path, and guide you to that which pleases Him, Amen.

Allah Almighty knows best.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All thanks and praise are due to Allah and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

Dear questioner, we are really happy to receive your question and we pray to Almighty Allah to help us furnish you with the best answer.

In the very beginning, we are to note that Islam sanctions anything that is pure and beneficial for man. It encourages a Muslim to be strong and to seek the means of strength. In his Hadith, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commands us saying: “Teach your children swimming, archery and horse-riding.” This direct call to practice sports shows the great importance Islam places on sports in training the Muslims and making their bodies healthy and sound. It is no wonder also to hear the saying: “A sound mind is in a sound body.”

Shedding more light on the issue of sports and its etiquette, Sheikh `Atiyyah Saqr, former Head of Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee, states the following:

“From the time immemorial, people have sought means of physical training and invented all kinds of sports to make their bodies strong, but each to its purposes and conditions. A nation where fighting and battles were the norm, sports like weightlifting, archery and dueling would be very common, while swimming became the favorite sports to people living on sea-shores. In the Arabian peninsula, people got used to hunting and horse-riding due to their conditions of frequent traveling and moving from one place to another.

How does Islam view sports?

Islam does not oppose having a strong body via practicing sports. Muslims are commanded to be of sound bodies and sound minds in addition to having sound morals. In the Hadith, we read: “A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than a weak one.” (Reported by Muslim) A sound strong body is capable of fulfilling both the religious and the worldly duties. Islam never accepts anything that leads to neglecting these duties, save in some cases where some exemptions are made so as to make matters easy for believers.

The effects of sports on the body:

In his well known book ‘Zad-Al-Ma`aad’, Imam Ibnul-Qayyem states that movement is the core of sports. It helps the body get rid of waste food in a very normal way. It makes it active, enhances its immunity and protects it from diseases. Each organ has its own sport that suits it. As for horse-riding, archery, wrestling and racing, they are sports that benefit the whole body.

Sports appearing in Islamic rituals:

In Islam, we see that many Islamic rituals contain sports that help the body attain physical fitness once they are practiced properly. The rituals of pilgrimage, paying visits to Muslim brothers, visiting the sick, going to and fro the mosque and participating in many social activities are no more than sports.

Etiquette of sports in Islam:

The fact that Islam encourages the practicing of sports makes one realize how great, flexible and comprehensive is this course of Allah given to mankind. In this context, Islam stresses the importance of spiritual and moral training that should accompany physical training so that the latter yield its desired effects.

In supporting a team, hooliganism should be avoided. Also, there is no place for gloating. Having an upper hand in games does not warrant jeering at a defeated opponent. Islam views sports as a means of enhancing mutual love and cooperation among people, not a means of hurting feelings. That’s why the winning party should never be carried away with joy to the extent of insulting the opponents, nor must the defeated party be eaten up with envy at his counterpart’s advantage. He must keep in mind that his today’s loss will pave way for his tomorrow success, if he keeps patience and tries to improve himself.

This reminds us of the occasion when a nomad’s camel outpaced the Prophet’s she-camel which was known to be ever-first in racing, Muslims felt sad. Commenting on the issue, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him said: “Almighty Allah has decreed that nothing shall have a permanent glory (meaning that every situation has its ups and downs and no condition is permanent).” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, made this statement to cool down the feelings of those who found his camel being outpaced a difficult thing to swallow.

In contests, a true Muslim never forgets the etiquette of giving the counterparts good treatment. Casting aside morals in contests and competitions is a form of hypocrisy to which the Prophet referred when saying: “There are four characteristics if found in a person, he is a pure hypocrite. If one of them is found in a person, it gives him a characteristic of hypocrisy until he drops that: if trusted with something, he breaches trust, if talks, he tells lies, if makes a promise, he does not keep his word and if is in a quarrel with someone, he proves deviant (resorts to vile speech and corrupt conduct.)”

Tips for a Muslim practicing sports:

1-A Muslim should not occupy himself with sports to the extent that leads to neglecting religious and other duties.

2-A Muslim is not permitted to give himself loose rein in practicing sports in a way that involves inflicting harm on others. Practicing sports in crowded streets, for example, thus causing traffic jam is not an Islamic way for example.

3-Blind fanaticism in favor or against a team has nothing to do with Islam, for this really contradicts the Islamic teachings calling for unity and love.

4-While practicing sports there should be no room for foul words, bad behavior and slandering.

5-Islam does not allow matches or games that involve both sexes, in a way that opens channels for seduction, temptation and corruption.

6-Islam rejects also all games and sports that stir sexual urge or encourage moral perversion such as women practicing dancing and being watched by the public.

Males are to practice sports that suits their nature and vice versa. In Islam, it is not allowed for females to practice sports that are unique for men.

In conclusion, it is to be made clear that upon declaring something permissible, Islam places some stipulations that aim at maintaining morality and that cope with the general wisdom of legislation. Sports are to be practiced following these stipulations so as to avoid any undesired harms. The general rule of Shari`ah is that any act that involves transgressing limits whether in eating, drinking, clothing or anything else, is prohibited. The Qur’an declares: “ O ye who believe! Forbid not the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress not. Lo! Allah loveth not transgressors.”(Al-Ma’idah: 87)”

The Holy Qurân and Sport

The Ayâts from the Holy Qurân which have been reproduced below, use the words "lahw" and "la'ib". The Fuqaha (jurists) have used the same words for sport and games.

"Nothing is the life of this world but play and amusement.
But best is the Home in the Hereafter, for those who are righteous.
Will you not then understand?"(Al Quraan 6:32)

"Leave alone those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world."(Al Quraan 6:70)

"What is the life of this world but amusement and play? Verily the Home of the Hereafter, that is life indeed, if they but knew."(Al Quraan 29:64)

"The life of this world is but play and amusement:
And if you believe and guard against evil, He will grant you your recompense, and will not ask you (to give up) your possessions."(Al Quraan 47:36)

"Know you (all) that the life of this world is but play and a pastime, adornment and mutual boasting and multiplying, (in rivalry) among yourselves, riches and children."(Al Quraan 57:20)

"So leave them to plunge in vain talk and play about, until they encounter that day of theirs which they have been promised!"(Al Quraan 70:42)

Tafsir on lahw and la'ib

1. "Commenting on Surah Muhammad, Allamah Razi writes that la'ib is that work in which there is no benefit or gain. When one gets involved in it and gives up important work, it is lahw; and if he does not give up important work, it is la'ib. Hence the means and instruments of games and pastimes constitute lahw, while chess etc. are la'ib (vol xxvii, p.73). In the interpretation of Surah Muhammad, the great commentator Allamah Razi writes that in worldly life, the time that is spent in good virtuous work and in acquiring the necessities of life is good, but that time which is spent on unnecessary work is very bad. To engage in la'ib (games) is the work of children. Having played, they exhaust themselves, and that work (games) comes to an end without any benefit. Lahw is the work of young men who often repent after some time, that it would have been better if they had not done it. Afterwards they consider the reasons, that money was lost, precious time was spoilt and the pleasure ended and yet the fondness remained unsatisfied. Thus the result is nothing but regret and remorse." (vol xxix p.233)(1)
2. "The author of Tafsir Fath ul-Qadeer says that lahw-wa-la'ib is the work of foolish men - the unintelligent, whose intelligence is subnormal (vol ii, p54). In the commentary of Surah Hadid, it says that the work that engages one in the world and makes one forgetful about the work of the Hereafter is lawh-wa-la'ib.." (Ibid, vol v p.174) (2)
3. "It is stated in Tafsir Ruh al-Ma'ani that lahw is that work in which a wise man does not perceive any benefit, whether it is Harâm or not. The difference between the two is that from la'ib one gets pleasure, joy and satisfaction, whereas there is no such objective in lahw. Hence a wise man does only that work in which there is some great objective. If a work is done without the right objective, it is lahw and la'ib.." (vol vii, p.134) (3)
4. "The author of Tafsir Khazin (vol v, p.165 and vol vi p.155) says that engaging in those acts in which there is no benefit, is like engaging in useless acts one after another; just as foolish youngsters do."(4)
5. "It is stated in Tafsir Nazm-e Durar that the pleasure that is sought through impermissible means is called la'ib, and lahw is that work which looks pleasant and makes man forgetful about useful things; eg. singing and ogling at women." (vol vii, p.92)(5)
6. "In Tafsir Mazhari, Hazrat Moulana Thanâullah (Panipati) writes that lahw is that work in which the objective and result is incorrect and from which no benefit is gained. La'ib is that work in which there is no benefit at all, because games and pastimes are very ephemeral in nature, and both these things prevent man from worship and devotion to Allâh." (vol iii, p.258) (6)
7. "It is stated in Tafsir Nasafi that giving up useful things by engaging in useless things, is la'ib." (vol ii, p.9) (7)

'Sport' in the Hadith

The term 'sport' is used to denote the activities which the Holy Prophet (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) encouraged, such as archery, swimming, horse-riding, etc. The reason for this will be explained later.

(a) Horse Riding

Allâh (Azza wa jall) says in the Holy Qurân: "And (He created) horses, mules, and donkeys for you to ride and as an adornment...(Al Quraan 16:8)

Uqbah bin Âmir reported that the messenger of Allâh (Azza wa jall) said: Everything with which a man plays is unlawful except his shooting with arrows, and his training his horse, and his sporting with his wife; and verily these are of the truths. (Tirmidhi, Abu Dawoo,Ibn Majah)

The Holy Prophet (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said: "There is blessing in the forelocks of horses."(Ahmad)

(b) Archery

Hazrat Uqbah Bin Âmir (Radiallâhu anhu) also narrates that he heard Rasulullah (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) saying:

"Whoever gives up archery after having learnt it, is not of us..."(Muslim)

On another occasion, the Prophet (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) once passed by a group of his Companions who were competing in archery. He encouraged them saying, "Shoot and I am with you."(Bukhari)

(c) Swimming

Hazrat Ibn Umar (R.A) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) said: "Teach your sons swimming and archery and teach your daughters sewing."(Baihaqi)

With regard to the participation of the Sahaba in the above activities, the jurists write:

a. "Anything done simply for futile pleasures or merely 'for fun' has no basis in Shariah as every action of a believer is orchestrated by the supreme command of Allâh and orientated towards attaining His pleasure only. And it is the culmination and perfection of faith wherein the servant attains pleasure only in fulfilling the command of His Master and his heart ingests and aspires at all times to ascertain the command of Allâh. When this becomes second-nature within man, then all his pleasures are converted and directed accordingly.

Hence, the encouragement of Rasulullah (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) to the Sahaba and their participation in such activities was not to appease their personal motives or to derive any worldly pleasures thereby, but to gain the pleasure of Allâh and strive to fulfil His command and physically and mentally prepare for the propagation thereof in every way possible, even though it meant laying down their lives for it, which they practically demonstrated to mankind."

b. "The racing, wrestling and archery which Rasulullah (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) encouraged should not be viewed as sport in the way people of this time understand sport. Since these were activities associated with Jihad, he encouraged them."

c. "Their primary objective was to prepare themselves for Jihâd and the worldly benefits were secondary."

d. "For this, on the basis of Hadith, the Ulema have stated that horse-racing, donkey-racing, mule-racing and human race competitions should be held with the intention of preparing for jihad. This is mustahab (praiseworthy) and for this, one will be recompensated. Similarly, sword-fighting, archery and in today's times, practising with modern weapons like firearms, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, tanks, submarines, planes, etc. on land, sea and air, and the time and money spent on them will gain recompense, provided the intention is for jihad. If such exercises and competitions are held and prizes are given so that people are more and more induced to be ready for defending and protecting their religion and country, or one-sided bets are offered, it is all permissible; i.e. he who completes the race first or excels others in a competition will be given a prize. However betting from both sides is not permissible, it is haram."(8)
(d) Footracing

The Prophet (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) himself raced with his wife. Hazrat Ayesha said: "I raced with the Prophet (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) and beat him in the race. Later when I had put on some weight, we raced again and he won. Then he said, 'This cancels that', referring to the previous occasion."(Ahmad, Abu Dawood)

Regarding this Hadith the jurists write:

a. "The Hadith regarding Nabi's (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) race with Hazrat Aishah (R.A) cannot be cited as a basis for encouraging sport because in his entire life, Rasulullah (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) raced with her only on two occasions. When he did so, he instructed the others to leave the place so that the race could take place in privacy."

b. "The Hadith relating that Nabi (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) ran a race with Hazrat Aishah R.A. once while they were on a journey wherein Hazrat Aisha R.A. outshone Nabi (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) and sometime later wherein Nabi (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) beat her to the draw was a manifestation of the affectionate bond of love that existed between them and how matrimonial rights should be conducted as discussed under the chapter of Conjugal Rights and Intimacy between husband and wife in the books of Hadith. And this is actually a practical demonstration of another Hadith wherein Nabi (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) had reiterated:

'Every such engagement of man which entails play and amusement is null and void except archery, training one's horse and playing with one's wife, for these things constitute righteousness.' "

c. "As for the race with Ayesha (Radiallâhu anha), this is narrated only by her and no other Sahâbi (Radiallâhu anhu). This makes it obvious that this was in absolute privacy. Actually this race was not in the form of some sport. Rather, it was more in the form of playfulness and a manner of mirthful activity as is common in a healthy husband and wife relationship. If one practices this sunnah in the same manner (i.e. in absolute privacy) with one's wife, by all means. However, it cannot be used to justify the indulgence in modern day sports.
(e) Wrestling

The Prophet (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) once wrestled with a man called Rukanah who was well-known for his strength, throwing him down more than once. (Abu Dawood).

This Hadith has been explained as follows:

"The Hadith mentioning Rasulullah's wrestling with Rukanah is not encouragement for sport because the event took place at the request of Rukanah who wanted to ascertain whether Muhammed (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) was a Nabi or not. Rasulullah's victory over Rukanah was by way of Mu'jizah. This Hadith is not an encouragement for sport."

Relaxing the Mind and Body

At the outset, it is important to outline the Islamic stance on relaxation. With regard to relaxing the mind and body, there seems to be a general consensus amongst the different Ulama. The following are the views of four prominent South African jurists:

a. "Says the Qurân: 'Undoubtedly it is only through the Remembrance of Allâh that the hearts find contentment and satisfaction.' Ar-Ra'ad verse 28.

Says the Hadith: 'And your body also has a right over you." Bukhari

Hence to relax the body and mind and to maintain its physical well-being has been acceded to in Shariah, however, remaining within the limits of Shariah thereby and without exceeding the bounds and not engaging in any such activity which will make one unmindful and heedless of Allâh."

b. "Islam recognizes that Allâh has created human beings with needs and desires, so that, as they need to eat and drink, they also need to relax. The following incident substantiates that in Islam there is a time and place for everything permissible. Hazrat Hanzalah (R.A) states: Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) met me and asked, "How are you, Hanzalah?" I replied, "Hanzalah has become a hypocrite." He said, "SubhanAllâh! What are you saying?" I replied, "When we are with Allâh's Messenger (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam), he mentions the Fire and the Garden until it is as if we can see them. But when we leave Nabi's (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) company and play with our wives and children or busy ourselves with our properties, we forget much." Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) said, "By Allâh, I have experienced the same thing." He and I then went to visit Nabi (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) and I said, "O Messenger of Allâh (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam), when we are with you, you talk about the Fire and Garden until it is as if we can see them. Then we go out and play with our wives and the children and deal with our properties, and we forget much. Nabi (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) then said, "By Him in Whose Hands is my soul, if you were to continue at the same level at which you were when with me in remembering Allâh, the angels would shake hands with you when you are resting and when you walk about, but, O Hanzalah, there is a time (for this) and time (for that)." He repeated this phrase three times. (Mishkat pg.197-198)

Hazrat Ali (R.A) said: "Minds get tired as do bodies, so treat them with humour" and "Refresh your minds from time to time, for a tired mind becomes blind."

Pastimes are permissible provided that they provide the participant with relaxation and exercise and at the same time none of the laws of Shariah are compromised eg. dress, intermingling of sexes, gambling and betting etc."

c. "...in terms of the Shariah, it is permissible for Muslims to relax the mind and body provided it does not interfere with the basic obligatory and compulsory Islamic duties placed upon him/her. However it is declared Makrooh (abominable) in Shariah to engage in meaningless pastimes."

d. "Relaxing the body and mind are not just permissible; they are a requirement. The reason is obvious. With a refreshed body and mind one can engage in one's object more earnestly. However, the relaxation must not be in such a way which results in transgression of the laws of Shariah or in diversion from one's object of life.

Prohibited Sports

A number of sports have been explicitly prohibited by the Qurân and Hadith. These include:
a. Playing with dice

The Prophet (Sallallâhu alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said: "He who plays with dice is like the one who handles the flesh and blood of swine."(Muslim, Abu Dawood, Ahmad)
b. Games of Chance and Card - playing

Abdullah bin Amr reported that the messenger of Allâh (Azza wa jall) prohibited intoxicants, games of chance, card - playing and Gabairah (a kind of wine).(Abu Dawood)
