Islam wants his people to have a strong body and pay attention to it. The purpose of sports is actually a concern for the body to train the muscles and make the body has the ability resilient. Hence the Prophet advocated sports such as swimming, archery, and horseback riding. He also said that a Muslim who loves Allah more powerful than a weak Muslim. But it's odd that the Islamic ummah today, most of them chose not to exercise his first goal but would prefer sports - sports that are games. exercising their lot until they forgot the purpose which Allah created man to worship. Allah He will say, "I did not create the Jinn and Humans but that they worship Me" (Surah Az Zariyat: 56).
Sheikh Muhammed Salih Al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah said, "Exercise is allowed, as long as no neglect of duty. If through neglect of duty, then the sport is forbidden. "If someone has kebisaaan spent most of his time in sports, then surely he had wasted time, at least in this situation is makruh, but makruh abomination, makruh law can be identified with illegitimate, see the word Allah in surat Al-Isra 22-38. Prophet Muhammad also said: "one of the characteristics of Islamic goodness someone is to leave all things that are not useful." (H.R Tarmudzi)
And more dangerous if the sport's schedule disrupt prayer congregation, neglect and tend toward immoral. Sin or immoral act is accompanied with a calm attitude when to do it (without feeling guilty and not accompanied by istighfar) practically can damage one's relationship with Allah. In a hadith the Messenger of Allah never describe that a believer who commits sin is sin is like a black spot in his heart. If he beristighfar then his heart will shine again. If not, then the black stain that will cover his heart as Allah has said: "By no (so), actually what they always try to shut their hearts" (Surah 83:13).
Imam Ibn Jawzi rahimahullah said: "The cause of all forms of disparagement towards goodness or inclination to sin is the length of wishful thinking ... No doubt that anyone who thinks still alive tomorrow morning, he will work with a relaxed evening. And he who described the death as if the very near future, he will mean it. Prophet Muhammad once said: "Sholatlah you like a person who will split up (die)" (Reported by Ibn Majah).
Rahimakumullah brother Muslims, let us exercise properly without neglect of duty - our obligation. We should be clever people who can set the time and energy and effectively as possible so that we can become a Muslim, a strong physical and spiritual. Wallohu a'lam showab bish.
