 MKA FIT's - STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT: Toseef Chaudhry Sehat-e-Jismani’s next Student-Athlete Spotlight is Toseef Chaudhry. A thriving football star and student from Laurel, MD, Toseef began as a novice player and trained ferociously to eventually become a perennial starter and leader in his high school football team. According to Toseef, his demeanor and play-style on the field was influenced by his connection with the Jama’at: “The Qur'an discusses brotherhood and striving and vying with one another in good works. These teachings have inspired me and I… try to inculcate them into my sports activities.” By implementing these teachings during the game, Toseef earned the Senior Award for being the best player on and off the field while maintaining his position on the honor roll all throughout high school. Since then, our young Khadim has entered college and has joined his collegiate football team, describing this new trial as a transition from “complete stress to extreme joy.” Drawing from these experiences, Toseef...

MKA FIT - Student Athlete Spotlight: Kaashif Qaderi A true student-athlete is one who wants to excel both in the classroom and on the field or court” proclaims Saiyed Kaashif Qaderi, Sehet-e-Jismani’s Student-Athlete Spotlight. A passionate, Khadim from Lisle, IL, Kaashif was a prolific student and a hard-working athlete in high school, training competitively until he fought his way into the Junior Varsity basketball team despite the fact that his peers thought he would not make the team. Off the court, Kaashif joined the Debate Team and also became a writing tutor to help other students succeed. Interestingly, Kaashif proposes that being an athlete can help you “physically and mentally” as a student by helping create extra “positive energy” to allow you to concentrate and study. Kaashif’s most impressive attributes, however, are his resiliency, his optimism, and his gratefulness to Allah. He relates, "During track season, I believe I wore my knee down running hurdles. And as a result, just prior to my...

Musa Anwar is Sehet-e-Jismani’s Student-Athlete Spotlight. Musa is a 21 year-old Khadim from Silver Spring, MD, and has proven himself to be a talented baller on the court. After being cut  from the basketball team his first two years, he ultimately earned his spot on the Varsity Team during his senior year in high school. Musa explains that being a part of Majlis Khuddamul-Ahmadiyya “was always a huge drive and factor in [his] pursuit of elevating [his] game”  because he would always look forward to competing in MIST, the Masroor International Sports Tournament, when he was young. As a  result, these experiences helped him understand the importance of “perseverance and commitment” toward achieving one’s goals, and  eventually, he worked his way to receive the Varsity Letter in Basketball.
