Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al Nisa (The Women) - (4:1)
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَآءً وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِى تَسَآءَلُونَ بِهِۦ وَٱلْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا
O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.
1 Hadith
Aisha reported: She was with the Prophet ﷺ while on a journey. Aisha said, “I raced him on foot and I outran him, but when I gained some weight, I raced him again and he outran me. The Prophet said: This is for that race.”

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ قَالَتْ فَسَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقْتُهُ عَلَى رِجْلَيَّ فَلَمَّا حَمَلْتُ اللَّحْمَ سَابَقْتُهُ فَسَبَقَنِي فَقَالَ هَذِهِ بِتِلْكَ السَّبْقَةِ

Reflection Point
Running.
Or
Walking.
Begs the question...
Do you ever use it as a chance to share moments?
If no.
Well you should!
Just take someone with you when you walk or run!
Walking or jogging is not just an exercise that you do by yourself...
But it can be a perfect time to blow off steam with others.
And even yet...
It's doesn't even always have to be about blowing off steam!
It can simply be a moment of pure and spontaneous fun!
If you would only just allow yourself!
And If the environment is appropriate for families.
Then why not have a race!
To see who's the fastest.
It's the perfect way to create moments of laughter, kindness and closeness.
And it was the practice of our Messenger Muhammad ﷺ with his wife.
So what about you?
And your spouse?
Or your children?
Or your loved ones?
Do they not deserve to be winners?
This week, set a time for walking with family members or friends.
Whether it's bi-weekly, weekly or monthly.
Discuss topics that are beneficial for your worldly life and the hearafter.
And make it a regular habit!
Guaranteed.
You'll find you'll be fitter and wiser with time.
Insha Allah
