Salaams all,
Inshallah I am aiming to set up a Muslim Football league based in London and am calling on any guys out there who have a team or would like to gather some mates together and play for their own team? Or possibly set up a youth team to help our youngsters keep fit and enjoy playing regular matches!
When getting in contact please state whether you wish to set up, or submit a youth/childrens team or adult team etc.
Also I am looking for any youngsters to join a under nine team which I am setting up to train and compete in league matches and tournaments. This team will be based in London SW9.
For more Info or to submitt a team!
If you use facebook then you can find our group under "MUSLIM FUTEBOL (MUSLIMYOUTHFOOTBALL)"
Please contact me via email
I sent this as an email to all my friends, hoping that we could set up a team for our jam'at, and there was an excellent response from them, Alhamdulillah.
One brother did send this link, however. It says football is haram :shock:
How on earth is football haram?!

Don't just do something! Stand there.
What jam'at are you in?
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
"to take part in any physical activities such as football is clearly permissible and at times beneficial."
"Undoubtedly, watching football is haram i.e. through ahaadith it has been proven that to look at the satar (thighs) of a living or dead human is haram, which leaves us with no doubt that viewing television is also haram."

Very detailed analysis of this issue. Let's have a look at other 'issues'.
Porn can be viewed on a pc so using a computer is haram.
A car can be used to run someone over so driving is haram.
hold on...some people uses verses from the Qur'an to condone killing innocent people...so maybe reading the Qur'an is haram too!
Don't just do something! Stand there.
You've made my day man! The car one is the funniest!
But those quotes are taken out of context.
Chin up, mate! Life's too short.
