It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will admit three people into Paradise because of a single arrow: its maker, who intends good in its making; its shooter; and the one who hands it over. Shoot arrows and ride animals. In my view, your practicing archery is better than riding. Every game is suitable for a Muslim, except that shooting arrows with a bow, training a horse, and playing with one’s wife are games of truth.
