Srinagar, Oct 5: As a unique fusion of sports and spirituality, the Kashmir Football Academy organized a Seerat e Nabi ﷺ and Naat Competition at Bemina, Srinagar, during the sacred month of Rabiul Awal.
“The event aimed to foster moral education and unity among academy students. Many students participated, reciting Naats and discussing the life and teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ”
“We aim to instill values of compassion, tolerance, and respect among our youth,” said a spokesperson from the Kashmir Football Academy. “This event is a step toward fostering spiritual growth and community bonding.”
Waseem Javid Lone, the head Coach of Kashmir Football Academy (KFA), Srinagar said that the event was organised so that the youth can get involved in productive activities rather than going towards any negative thing.
“We decided to organise the event during the month of Rabi ul Awal. Today, the youth is getting distracted towards drugs, so our aim was to divert them towards sports and other forms of competition. Under this, we organised the Naat and Seerat competitions and tried to involve the girls. This will definitely help in bringing out the hidden talent of the girls. These types of events will never let the youth go in the wrong direction,” he said.
