She came to see me for a medical evaluation as an outpatient visit. Besides her eyesight issues, I found her doing great at being 77 years old. There was no history of diabetes, hypertension, mini-stroke, cancer, or arthritis. No aches or pains. I was pleasantly surprised. To me, she was amazingly well for her age. I told her that people like her will make doctors out of business soon. She smiled.
She told me that her favorite hobby was swimming and she was doing it for a long time, Offcourse now 77 and started at age 6.
She told me that she always felt connected to water throughout her life. She had swum in oceans too. Then she asked me that did I knew what is God's favorite sport, and replied as smoothly as she had put her question as she saw my utter ignorance. She said God's favorite sport is swimming. I smiled as she appeared to me that she knew that for a fact.
“It is He who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, and His throne extends over the water, so as to test which of you does best…”
Qur’an 11:7
