thx for all your replies, Whats weird is that i prayed istigfarh one time and as soon as i said salaam, my bro kicked a soccer ball into the room, yet my heart and mind tell me to be Scholar but I watch football and I say wow I wanna be like Thierry Henry :lol:


and kittygyal my hifz school in Calgary has only about 20 boys and 2 teachers, we do 3 hours hifz and 3 hours academics so you dont fall behind like other hifz school which dont have academics. Its not boarding so I see family daily and ya i play soccer "footy" during my break, Its only boys for now. The school itself is within the Calgary Islamic school but were separate from them. Alhamdulliah the school itself is going good but with a max of 20 students theres a big waiting list, theres over a hundred. Many students came and left because the program was very hard and tough. Calgary is a big city and Canada's Oil capital. InshaAllah i will finish In December of 2007 and get my Shahadah (certificate of Hafiz) from Buffalo, New York's Darul Uloom.
 
There are a lot of great Footballer muslims, not Zidane since he dosen't practice Islam but Frank Ribery is a true Muslim, when you watch him before games he prays on the pitch and call Islam his motive, Hes a convert Masha Allah
 
im turkish n soccer is crazy in turkey...everyone plays. and there are some players who refuse to play a game before cuma prayer n stuff. they are sometimes in the spotlight but they realise that soccer comes after salat.

im sure the answer will be clear for u when u listen to your conscience.(as sad as that sounds).:D
 
So I guess the lot advise me to not get into football completely, Good alhamdullilah i going to pray salat and call my Agent a.k.a Dad and tell him my thoughts about football inshaAllah with all your Advice in Mind, JazaKallah, more advice would be great!
 
if you becoem a good player, you will be respected no matter what u do, if you become a crap player, they will make a joke out of your beliefs and maybe blame ur downfall on ur religious practices...but islam teaches us to live life, in the halal sphere...and enjoy is life also. do both...and as u said...Allah and islam first, no matter what, but that doesnt mean you need to go and become an islamic scholar.

So true! And even if you do wear knee-length shorts, you will still be playing with/against men who are showing their arwah, and it is haram for even men to look at the awrah of other men.

Unless, of course, you're playing against other Muslims, but I don't see how you could turn that into a professional career.

If you have the chance to be a scholar, then go for it!!
 
:sl:

What?:?

The awrah for men is from their navel to the knee, they aren't allowed to show that area to anyone but their wives and they are also forbidden from looking at the awrah of other men...
 
:sl:

Not everyone has the capablities to be a scholar or soccer player so if your talented with both, then thats cool.

Maybe you could do both, you know become a soccer player and then use that to fund your islamic studies in the future and possiably for others too (seeing as soccer players earn alot of money)

It aint that simple Both are every time consuming and are virtually impossable to do side by side.
 
Assalamu Allykum wr wb,

mmm... its up to u but if i was in that position i would choose a scolar and play soccer in my free time not playing the sports is haram but the environment its in with girls screaming for u, beer etc basicly its up to u do istikrah ask ur family and friends and see wat they say

I'd say do the football. Meanwhile you can still do your hifz.

Requirements for a scholar include being a hafiz, intelligence, knowledge of Arabic language. These prerequisites are easy to do inshallah whilst doing your football.

If you do become successfull in football then in the off-season you can do your Islamic studies. If you are that successful, then you will have enough money to study in your own time.

Scholarship can wait, but being a footballer won't, as your body will grow older/weaker etc. Your football career would be from 16-35, you can carry on with scholarship fulltime after 35.

Also for dawah, being a footballer, especially a successful one inshallah, will be good.

okay, so akhi you go to an islamic school with all males right:? so why don't you play soccer with them like after school:? maybe stick to your education && then inshallah still play soccer, like myself is doing Aalimah course && then aswel i play soccer with my friends && neices when i get free time && a person like me never gets free time it's very hard but i make abit tho, inshallah you can study on with education && play soccer aswel like your cousin brothers or brothers. It is difficult because like a mad crazy soccer fan you wana play aswel no matter how the weather is, but you gotcha remember islam-ud-deen comes first akhi inshallah :)

are people forgetting the short shorts issue?

if you are going to do soccer make sure that the environment is HALAL

salamualikum.
Akhi/Ukthi you don't have to wear shorts whilst playing soccer, you can wear long pants aswel, && also about 'halal' environement these days everywhere you go theres fitna i.e opposite gender, && also you can't play soccer inside like a house nor a 'hall' because it's too stuffy && you need fresh air. look on the bright side can play soccer in a field but people walk pass aswel so there's no 'halal' place were you can play actually if you think about it. :hiding:
Ma'assalama
 
SALAMS

Bro you can travel to Makkah/Madinah for your studies and play football there during the weekends and on holiday, Saudi is getting more and more into the whole football thing there and they have many teams. Anyway you should remember what is better for you, not just now but in the hereafter aswell. And if all goes wrong, you can have all the time in Jannah to play all the football you can (Inshallah)

Allah knows best
 
Am I the only one that thinks soccer is border line haram, what do footballers wear? Shorts, do they expose their thighs? Yes, are we meanto expose our tighs? Thats the billion dollar question.

Yep, plus snake you know about the fact that knowledge that one passes on is one of the three good deeds that continue to get you reward after you have died! So scholar is definetly longer than soccer lol.
