Inspiration from Hadith: Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasised the importance of maintaining good health and fitness. He said, “A strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah (swt) than a weak believer, while there is good in both.” (Sahih Muslim).
By participating in events like the Tokyo Marathon, we not only improve our physical health but also fulfill a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet.
