Abstract
The participation of the Prophet (PBUH) in sports such as running, wrestling, horse riding, and so on is a great example of the legitimacy of sports. In regard to the purpose of sports in Islam, the first goal is to strengthen the human body so that it can perform its duties and responsibilities more effectively. Exercise is the nourishment of the body and mind, giving humans the necessary strength and abilities. Some rules and regulations for sports laid by Islam which should be followed by Muslims are as follow: • Exercise should not interfere with an athlete’s main duties and responsibilities. • Mixing between men and women is not allowed on sports teams. It is forbidden in Islam and Muslims should avoid it. • Gambling and betting are not permitted in games, and any game that becomes a gambling tool is haram (not permitted). • In sports competitions, other living creatures should not be harmed. Some games that took place during the time of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing upon him are wrestling, shooting arrows, sports with weapons (sword and knives), and horse riding.
