The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ once said:
“Practice archery and teach it to your children, for it is a sunnah of your father, Ismail (AS).”
(Al-Bayhaqi, Shu’ab al-Iman)
Ismail (AS) wasn’t just the son of Ibrahim (AS)—he was known for his strength, skill in archery, and connection to the outdoors. Living in the open desert, he learned to survive and thrive. He hunted, protected, and lived in harmony with the land.
The Prophet ﷺ honored Ismail’s legacy by encouraging the Ummah to take up archery, not just for sport, but as a spiritual discipline that connects us to our roots.
At Adventure Alp, we revive this ancient tradition with meaning and purpose. Our outdoor archery programs are more than an activity—they’re a revival of prophetic strength, patience, and focus.
Legacy Lesson: Archery teaches the believer to aim with intention and stand with strength—just like our father, Ismail (AS).
