  • Question
    I'm a Muslim and I don't want any push-ups invented by Christians or Hindus who are all infidels. Can you describe Islamic push-up methods?
    Community Answer
    I myself am Muslim and want you to know that there are no such things as Islamic, Hindu, or Christian push-ups. These push-ups can also be called "seal push-ups" or "dands." They were not invented by Hindus - this is just the name they were given. You can do these, there is nothing wrong with them in the Islamic view.

    Ice it, relax for a while, and consult your local physician. They know what's best, don't always trust the internet.

    No, this push up form is thousands of years old, and there is no such thing as a Hindu push up or Christian push-up or Muslim push up. It is not Hindu, it is Sanatani, meaning without a beginning or end. This is an exercise which everyone can do.

    The movement targets a lot of muscles in the body: biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, abs and back. Doing it at higher speed will increase strength as well as flexibility.

    Is there a website where demeaning comments are not tolerated?

    It's disheartening that religion can be an issue in fitness discussions. It is hard to find a website where demeaning comments are entirely absent. Your best approach is to engage with others respectfully and educate them on the value of diverse thoughts and ideas. Avoiding websites due to harassment can lead to echo chambers, so consider staying and contributing to positive dialogue.
