At Iḥyā Ar-Rimāyah, archers of all backgrounds—both men and women—progress through a structured grading system physically represented by the sash band system, commonly known as The Archer’s Journey.

5

There are five distinct stages (Maqāmāt) in our grading system (six for youth), and a different coloured band represents each Maqām.

▾

Each band reflects an archer’s skill level and dedication to the Prophetic Archery Traditions.

▾

Every archer at Iḥyā Ar-Rimāyah diligently works to earn their band, carrying the hope of one day attaining the pleasure of Allāh Ta’ālā by achieving perfection (Iḥsān) in archery.
