In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful
One of the blessed characteristic of Islam is the idea of sister/brotherhood. Loving one for the sake of Allah, helping each other at times of hardship, lend a shoulder, give counsel, and warn.
We just started the 'fitness challenge' among sisters on campus. It consists of a 30-minute exercise whenever a person can; a person then gets a star on their chart, whenever they do the exercise. Of course some sisters are able to go to the gym together. We have also thought of having intramural. That got me excited, now I might be able to recruit some sis to play volleyball, not that I am any good, I just like games. Being active physically was encouraged in the Prophetic tradition and I personally like to play, run around...be like kids.
So a number of us, sisters are sort of stepping-up the challenge; kinda like "watch-out for moi". Such is an example of the positive aspect of sisterhood, besides the company of each other.
I just think it is so beautiful, the energy sisters have when they sit together to remember the Almighty, talk about the challenges they face, share tips as to how to wear the Hijab beautifully and share beauty tips (like honey for a gorgeous skin). Those who are married would give advice to us, the yet to be married ones.
Blessed be One who put Love & Mercy among us.

MashAllah..that's lovely to hear all the sister ( or whomever can) are working out together. I do it alone, but Alhamdulilah there's a women's section in our campus gym. Thank god for strong muslim influence around the school, and neighboring businesses!!
Hope you have been well, and the family too inshallah
I also do it alone, in the morning. still that'll get me a star :D
over the summer i did swim lessons (also women only), so that was awesome.
