Islam isn’t a religion that turns men soft.
We’re taught mercy, yes — but also power. Strength. Courage. Grit. And somehow… that part gets left out of modern masculinity.
The Prophet ﷺ wasn’t just the most spiritually elevated man —He was also physically strong, led in battle, wrestled, rode horses, and trained with weapons.
đź’Ą The Prophet ď·ş said:
“The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, while there is good in both.”(Sahih Muslim)
And Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) said:
“Teach your children swimming, archery, and horse riding.”
Not video games. Not TikTok dances. Discipline. Combat. Strength.
⚔️ Whether it’s boxing, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling — learning to fight builds more than muscle:
- It humbles you
- It teaches control under pressure
- It protects you and your family
- It revives a forgotten sunnah of physical excellence
