For too many years our Islamic communities have neglected to recognize the important impact that athletics play in the total well being of our youth. In- so- much as how our children view themselves and how they are perceived by the society at large. Through athletic competition the individual participant gains great personal benefit (i.e. physical fitness, and wellness) that builds character, confidence and discipline, which carries over into other areas of their lives.
Our children are naturally attracted to athletes that are presented to them through the media (most of whom are non-Muslim persons), however whenever the opportunity arises that Muslim athletes are available and accessible to our youth the response is tremendous.
Now more than ever the popularity of the Muslim athlete is steadily increasing and their influence on their perspective sport is evident. This is inspirational to the young Muslim who dreams to achieve similar success. AMA wishes to be the vehicle they use to help fulfill those dreams.
