Do Everything for Allah!

The club members of Martyr Ibrahim Hadi (ra) say that we were in the gym for wrestling. We were getting ready for exercise. Ibrahim entered. A few minutes later another of our friends came in. 

When he entered, he said without introduction, “Dear Ibrahim! Your style and body have become very attractive! On the way when you were coming, two girls were behind you. They were talking about you continuously!” Then he continued, “You are wearing a stylish shirt and pants. You have a sports bag in your hand too. It is obvious that you are an athlete!”

I looked at Ibrahim. He was thinking and had become upset! It seemed he wasn’t

expecting such a thing. The next session I went to exercise again. When I saw Ibrahim, I started laughing. He was wearing a long shirt and loose pants! Instead of a sports bag, he had put his clothes in a plastic bag! From that day on he came to the gym like this!

The other athletes used to say, “What kind of a person are you?! We come to the gym to

be athletic looking and to wear tight clothes. Why are you in shape physically, but wearing these kinds of clothes?” Ibrahim didn’t care about what they said.

He advised his friends, “If exercising is for God, it will be an act of worship. But if it is for

any other intention, it will be to your detriment.”
