Futuwwa Retreat | The Way of Prophecy | Turkey

‘"They were young men who believed in their Lord, so We increased them in guidance. And We strengthened their hearts, when they rose up and declared: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and Earth; we will not call upon any deity beside Him, or then we would have spoken a monstrosity.’ [18/ The Cave:14]


Futuwwa is a composite of the way of prophecy and the virtues that were completed by means
of it. It is one of the most fundamental stations in religion, as well as one of the foundational
dimension of sainthood.
It is derived from the word fatā (young man) which signifies the successful completion of the
rites of passage from adolescence unto manhood and maturity. It is best epitomised by
rejection of all idolatry -outwardly manifest and inwardly hidden - and the constant
endeavour to realise true servanthood to God, mighty and sublime is He.

The Retreat

The primary aim of the Futuwwa retreat is to promote the ethics and practice of the prophetic
approach to the way of inward and outward martial and manly discipline. 
Students will beafforded the rare opportunity to engage in the religion in a more holistic manner through engaging the spiritual sciences and the remembrance of God, mighty and sublime is He, alongside the practice of the higher sports as advocated by the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

Horse Riding, archery, swimming and the martial arts are the sports of the kings of the
Hereafter and the retreat was designed as a means to presenting Muslims with a serious
opportunity to learn aspects of their religion that as rule ignored in contemporary Islām, but
remain essential to the cultivation of bonafide prophetic character.

Dear Sir
Futuwwat as Tasawwuf or any other islamic science to be transmitted and learned needs a chain of transmission, it is obvious that this is absent in this initiative. What you are proposing is a wishful mix of completely western practices.
At least you could have proposed to visit the waqf in Kasim Pasha Istanbul where (al the Old Derga of Archery Gild) where still traditional archery is thought.. about Futuwwat only an authorised Ustad with a chain of transmission going until the circle of the Kemerbest (17 knights companion of the Prophet AS) could teach this..and It prescribes a selection, and period of apprenticeship and an initiation...When the muslims will be able to seek some real teachings instead to put down their own tradition to the level of fashion ...some of the Tekkyas and Derga in Turkey and the Balkan have lineage within the order which presides them of futuwwat, especially if are Rifay, Qaderi or Khalveti. Instead to do what it seems a parody.. seek for teachers..of such sciences and spiritual arts.. and please stop to make a market of them
