I want my son to become a strong man. What should we be doing now?

Riverburst General Recommended Areas of Focus for building strong Muslim boys and men.
These are lifelong, continuing efforts worthy of our time. The below is simplified to give you something useful, there are many ways to do this and below is just one way.

Islamic studies and mentorship at least once a week. The right teacher is important, someone who is a good role model; preferably includes fiqh. We believe in traditional scholarship.

Worship. Work up to regularly praying Fajr and Ishaa’ at the masjid and regular tahajjud. Daily Qur’an. Learning to recite properly, then memorization, review, and teaching. Nutrition. Healthy habits require the whole family - starting with moderating quantity, then replacing starches and sugars with more vegetables, and decreasing processed foods. Barbell lifts. 3x a week (starting age 14). Requires - initially - instruction on the lifts; and access to a squat cage, barbell, bumpers/olympic plates, and a bench. Around $1200 for a home gym. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. 2-3x a week (starting age 8). After lessons, conditioning with prowler/weighted sled and air bike such as Rogue Echo Bike. At age 16, consider switching to striking like boxing or Muay Thai for 2-3 years, the serious kind with sparring, not cardio kickboxing. Backpacking and outdoorsmanship. May be seasonal, goal is comfort in discomfort, appreciation of the nature, self-sufficiency, and technical aspects of living on the trail. Can start with car camping, enjoyment of the campfire, and progressively longer day hikes. Ultimately, work up to rucking a pack uphill for hours. Basic Firearms Proficiency. Start with basic safety, operation, addressing stoppages and reloading drills. Then move onto accuracy, speed of presentation, and combined with movement. Start with handgun, then move to long guns. Start with iron sights and then to red dot sight or other optic. Academics. This already receives overemphasis in much of our community and requires no special comment. Academic performance and education should obviously not be ignored, part of empowerment and self-sufficiency is financial strength, though this is a tricky topic given the pervasive culture of consumerism and materialism in our modern world.
