11 Life Lessons I Learned From Running
Quick Navigation
Introduction
I love running. It has benefitted me immensely - Physically and mentally.
Running is the easiest and the most simple physical activity anyone can engage in. This simple activity can teach us so much about Life.
Amazingly, running and life has so much in common. Here I would like to share the lessons it has taught me about life.
Swimming
“Teach your children swimming, archery and horse riding” Said Prophet Muhammad (saw), narrated in a Hadith by Hazrat Ibn Umar (R.A).
Prophet (saw) encouraged sports for both men and women, which also included learning how to swim. Being able to swim not only brings health benefits but also prevents us from drowning during times of flood and water voyage.
Swimming is a healthy lifetime activity for everyone whether it’s a 1 year old or 101 years old. Swimming is a water based exercise which comes with many physical and psychological benefits for all.
Swimming is beneficial for one and all, especially for those who are not physically fit to exercise.
Muslim Women And Sports
Studies have shown that very few Muslim women participate in sports compared to the other faith groups. According to Sports England’s latest participation figures, less than one in five Muslim females exercise at least once a week – lower than any other faith group. This makes me wonder why. Especially when according to the Sunnah of our Rasoolallah (saw), Muslims should be leading in these figures.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle was the Sunnah of our Rasoolallah (saw) and healthy lifestyle was encouraged for both men and women. Then why is it that very few Muslim female participants are there in competitive sports events, compared to other faith groups.
Does this mean that sports should not be encouraged for Muslim women?
It’s All In The Heart
“Verily in the body there is such a piece of flesh that if it remains alright the whole body keeps well but if this piece of flesh develops some defect the whole body becomes unhealthy. Behold,- this piece of flesh – it is heart.” (Bokhari, Muslim)
Heart failures and heart diseases do not necessarily occur in fat or obese people only. A heart can become weak for many other reasons other than eating fatty foods. Depending on this, heart failures can happen to any body. Fat or thin, young or old.
