sports club. People who do not have a strong will and wisdom cannot
restrain their emotions, and can be led from the true path into
whatever direction Satan may desire. In another verse, God warns
humanity against Satan:

You who believe! Do not follow in the footsteps of Satan. Anyone
who follows in Satan's footsteps should know that he commands
indecency and wrongdoing. Were it not for God's favour to you
and His mercy, not one of you would ever have been purified. But
God purifies whoever He wills.
God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
(Qur'an, 24:21)

There are times in sports
competitions, especially
football matches, when a great
number of spectators are
caught up in emotionalism. In
such cases, people become
completely irrational. They
become easily angry,
assaulting another, or become
so caught up in their emotions
that they break into tears.
Sometimes, their actions
become so out of control that
they injure others.
