Olympic medals

03 Sep, 2004

What a shame for a nation of almost 150 million not to have its name anywhere on the medals table of Olympic 2004. Wrestling used to be the forte of the early Muslims. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to wrestle in his youth. Ali, Umar and Khalid bin Waleed were the greatest wrestlers of their time. So were Hamza, Abu Obaida and many others.
I suggest our Ulema and Mushaikh should set a personal example by following this Sunnah and induce the youth to take it up religiously.
It will not only improve their health and physique but also help them produce wrestlers of international renown and repute.
