On Traveling and the Traveler....

slm,

I know our Travel Forum has been taken over by Ramadan :) but was reading this and thought of our veteran travelers aka jadoogar, siddiqui, lala, etc here and thought I'd put this up...

"There is much profit to be derived from seeing new lands and new houses, in seeing beautiful gardens and fields, in seeing different faces and coming across different languages and colors, and in witnessing the wonders of different countries.

The peace that one finds under the shades of large trees is unparalleled. Eating in the mosques, drinking from streams, and sleeping wherever one finds a place when night comes -- these all instill affability and humbleness in a person. The traveler befriends all those whom he loves for Allah's sake and he has no reason to flatter or to be artificial. Add to these benefits all of the happiness that the traveler's heart feels when he reaches his destination, and the thrill he experiences after having overcome all of the obstacles that were on his way.

If those who are averse to leaving their homelands knew all of this, they would learn that all of the individual pleasures of the world are combined in the noble pursuit of traveling. There is nothing more enjoyable to a traveler than the beautiful sights and the wonderful activities that are part of traveling through Allah's wide earth. And the non-traveler is deprived of all of this."


From the book [i]The Noble Scholar of Hadeeth [/i] by Ramhumuzi
