Travel to different lands

 

As I mentioned in an earlier chapter, traveling and visiting various lands brings happiness to the soul.

 

(Say: 'Behold all that is in the heavens and the earth.)  (Quran 10: 101)

 

(Have they not traveled through the earth and seen..)  (Qur'an 12: 109)

 

(Say: 'Travel in the land and see...)   (Quran 29: 20)

 

Whoever reads Ibn Batoota's book of travels---- exaggerations notwithstanding --- will be amazed with Allah's creation. Traveling and reading the open book of creation are means by which the believer grasps many morals and lessons.

 

(So travel freely…..)      (Quran 9: 2)

 

(Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun...)  (Quran 18: 86)

 

('I will not give up [traveling] until i reach the junction of the two seas or [until] i spend years and years in traveling.)           (Qur'an 18: 60)
