Muslims
should be strong and
well-established in all fields
of knowledge, science, art,
sport, and so on.
For sure,
a Muslim needs to have a
balance in whatever he does
and never goes to any extremes
in his actions and beliefs.
Regarding
prostration in some sports,
you should refrain from making
sujud and let it be known to
your trainers that your
religion doesn’t allow you
to bow or make sujud to anyone
other than Allah. This gesture
from you would be a way of
highlighting some of the
principles of your religion to
those people who ignore it and
have no idea about its
beautiful and balanced
teachings. It is hoped that
your trainers would respect
your belief and exclude you
from doing such an action.
I shall
seize this opportunity to say
that Muslims in south Thailand
requested the king to exclude
them from the way ministers
and high officers greet him
because that way is like
performing a real sujud to
human beings.
Thanks to
Allah, Muslim ministers were
exempted and allowed to greet
the king in a respectful way.
All in all, a Muslim should
take this opportunity to
introduce his religion in a
nice and friendly manner as he
does the same when he wants to
have a food with a non-Muslim.
He would certainly refrain
from non-halal food as a
respect to the teachings of
his religion.
