Those who have done this will tell you that nothing is more liberating than having only your own expectations. 8.

10 Reasons Why Every Muslim Should TravelTravel can be seen in a completely different light; as an education and spiritually transformative experience – not just a package holiday in a touristic location. A where all your expectations and creature comforts are met is not ‘travel’. Here are eleven reasons why Muslims should travel:

1. Hajj (or Umrah)Travel is integral to many ‘spiritual’ aspects of Islam. Most notably the pilgrimage of Hajj, which is one of the five fundamental pillars of the faith.

2. The Prophet (SAW) The Prophet experienced the mystical ‘night journey’ in which he ascends through the Seven Heavens, meets the prophets of before and receives instruction from Allah about the daily prayers. Much of the Prophet’s formative years were also spent travelling with his family’s business caravans all over the Middle East.

3. A travelling traditionMuslims come from a long line of famous travellers transformed irreversibly by their experiences. Ibn Battuta travelled for 30 years after setting off for the Hajj in 1325 aged only 21. Muslim scholars often covered great distances to acquire knowledge like Imam Bukhari. Musa (AS)’s journey alongside al-Khidr is well known.

4. The spirituality of TravelEvery spiritual tradition in Islam incorporates ‘wandering’ or ‘travel’ as part of the soul’s training. The wisdom behind this is to encourage detachment to the dunya (material world), i.e. make it ‘strange’ to the spirit, and thereby develop a greater appreciation of the hereafter. Following his spiritual crisis, the great medieval theologian Imam Ghazali embarked on just such a journey.

5. Love of AllahThrough travel we get to know Allah better, it’s that simple. Travel makes the familiar unfamiliar to us and in doing so we come to better appreciate Allah’s

creation. Throughout the Qur’an verses ask man to reflect on what has been created on earth and in the heavens – what better way to do that than through travel?

6. The death of ignorance and birth of humilityNothing quite extinguishes ignorance like real life experiences. In an increasingly global world saturated by media, we find it easy to sit on one side of the world and judge people on the other. Using video, news articles and pictures it is easy to arrogantly believe we know a people or a place just by how media has represented them. Travel makes us see that actually we know very little.

Eight Consequences of Haram WealthThe Prophet (SAW) had prophesied that such a day would arrive. He said: “There will come a time where people will not care regarding what they take; from Halāl or Harām.” [Bukhari]

1. Your heartThe Prophet (SAW) said: “When a servant of Allāh commits a sin, a black spot is placed on his heart. If he then withdraws, seeks forgiveness and repents, his heart is polished clean. But if he returns, it will be made to increase until it covers his entire heart, and this is the Rān (stain) which Allāh mentioned: ‘No, but rather, on their hearts is the Rān (stain) because of what they used to earn.” [Tirmidhi]

2. Your SadaqahThe Prophet (SAW) said: “Whoever accumulates prohibited wealth, then gives out in charity from it, he will not be rewarded for it and will have to bear the consequences of it.” [Ibn Khuzayma]

3. Your Duʿā’ The Prophet (SAW) made mention of a man, who: “…having journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the sky in Duʿā’, saying, “O Lord! O Lord!”, while his food is Harām, his drink is Harām, his clothing is Harām, and he has been nourished with Harām, so how can his Duʿā’ be answered?” [Muslim]

It was well known that Sa’d b. Abī Waqqās (RA)’s Duʿā’ was answered by Allāh (SWT) every single time. He was asked: “Why is it that, from all of the companions of the Prophet (SAW), it’s your Duʿā’ that is answered?” He answered: “I have not raised any bit of food to my mouth without knowing the details of where it was sourced.”

4. Your acts of worship at largeIbn ‘Abbās (RA) said: “Allāh does not accept the Ṣalāh of a person who has the prohibited within him.”

5. Your BarakahAl-Rāghib said: “Al-Barakah is when Allāh allows goodness from Him to remain in something.” There can be no true happiness in the absence of Barakah. This is because when Barakah mixes with something small, it causes it to grow and when it mixes with something already huge, it allows it to be of benefit.

Should Barakah, therefore, become part of your wealth, health, time, children, knowledge or their likes, then they become far more productive and beneficial in their effects – a means of happiness – and their effects will remain.

6. Your doors of HalālWhoever rushes to attain Rizq via a door of Harām, a door of Halāl in his life will close.

It was narrated that ʿAli b. Abī Tālib (RA) entered the Mosque of

MAB: 26a Mansfield Rd, Walthamstow, London E17 6PJ I EMAIL THE IMAM: [email protected] I MASJID ENQUIRIES: [email protected]

Kūfa and requested a young boy to take hold of his animal whilst he prayed inside. When he finished his prayer, ʿAli (RA) took out one dinar to give the child in thanks but found that the child had stolen the saddle of his animal and ran away with it. Instead, ʿAli (RA) gave the dinar to another person and requested that he buys for him a saddle from the market. The man came back with a saddle to which ʿAli (RA) said, “Subhān Allāh! This is my saddle.”The man replied, “I bought it from a young boy in the market for one dinar.” ʿAli (RA) said: “Subhān Allāh. I wanted him to benefit from the dinar in a permissible manner, but he insisted to take it in a prohibited way.”

7. Your safety in the GraveOnce the Prophet (SAW) heard companions congratulating the soul of a Muslim - Mid`am - who had died after having received a stray arrow to his body during the expedition of Khaybar. They said: “Congratulations for him entering Jannah!” The Prophet’s (SAW) response, however, took them all by surprise. He said: “No, I swear by the One who possesses my soul. He took a shawl from the spoils of Khaybar before it was correctly distributed, so its flames are now covering him.” People were horrified to hear this, and so one man came to return one or two leather shoelaces that he’d also taken, and said: “I took these on the day of Khaybar”, to which the Prophet (SAW) said: “One or two shoelaces from hell.” [Bukhari & Muslim]

8. Your home in JannahThe Prophet (SAW) told his companion, Kaʿb (RA): “O Kaʿb b. ʿUjra, any person whose flesh and blood were nourished through the impermissible cannot enter Jannah. The hellfire is worthier of them.” [Tirmidhi]

Conclusion

The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “If you see that Allāh is giving one of his servants from this life all what he wishes whilst engaging in wrongdoing, then know that Allāh is baiting him to destruction. Then, the Prophet (SAW) recited the verse (which confirms this meaning): “So when they forgot Our reminder, We opened for them the gates of every good; until they became proud with what We gave them, We took them away all of a sudden and lo and behold, they were plunged into destruction.” [Ahmed]If you are given the option between two paths – one that is downhill, fully paved, scenic and fragrant but ends in a bottomless pit, and another path that’s uphill, dark, rough in its terrain but ends in a top class chalet, swimming pool and all-you-can-eat buffet – which of the two would most people opt for? Thus, success and failure are to be measured by the eventual destination, not by the ease or difficulty of the journey.
