Archery - One of the sports encouraged by the prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), as a sport which can help build discipline, focus and determination. Like martial arts it's a sport which requires patience and practice. For years and years, it has been assumed that this is a male dominated sport. However in early 2008, a group in the centre of the midlands came together to start a Muslim girls Archery club called IKRA Archery.
They've been running for almost a year now and have experienced much success by the grace of Allah. Many people have shown an interest, however due to a restriction in numbers we can take, we have unfortunately had to turn some away. We are hoping in the near future to expand this club and take on more students to whom we can teach this amazing sport.
Our girls have progressed immensely from the start of last year and have thoroughly enjoyed attending the sessions. The club has enabled the girsl to meet and socialise with other girls from the 11-18years age range, given them the opportunity to try something new, fulfilling the sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and it has really helped them to build on their skills of self-development. Masha'Allah these girls have been an amazing group to teach.
