“Dua” is the Arabic term for a prayer or prayer offered to Allah (God). A person displays their dependency on and obedience to Allah through this practice of worship even while asking for His wisdom, mercy, forgiveness, and benefits.
What is the Islamic message regarding travel?
Traveling is appreciated in Islam as a way for people to learn about the world, interact with new people, and expand their knowledge and experience. Here are a few Islamic teachings concerning travel:
It is the responsibility of every Muslim to seek knowledge according to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Learning about different cultures, traditions, and ways of life while dua for travelling can help one develop a broader perspective and deeper understanding of the world.
Islam places a strong emphasis on showing others respect and consideration, regardless of their race, religion, or background. Muslims are urged to behave in a way that reflects the teachings of Islam while traveling and to show respect for the customs and beliefs of the people they meet.
Self-care and consideration for others
“It is your body that has a right over you,” said Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Muslims are urged to take care of their physical and mental health, mainly when saying Dua for Traveling, which can tax both.
Muslims are urged to maintain their spiritual connection to Allah while on the road. They are recommended to carry on praying, reading the Quran, and participating in other forms of worship because these can offer solace and direction in adversity and transition.
Ibn Umar reported: “When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would mount his camel for travel, he would exalt Allah three times and then say, “Glory be to Him who has made this subservient to us, for we have no power over it ourselves, and to our Lord, we shall return.”(43:14) O Allah, we ask You during this journey for righteousness, fear of You, and deeds pleasing to You. O Allah, make this journey easy for us and make the distance short for us. O Allah, You are our companion on the journey and our family’s protector. O Allah, “O, I seek refuge in You from the trials and tribulations, the ugly scenes, and the evil return to our property and family.”When the Prophet returned, he would say these words and add, “We are those who return, those who repent, those who worship and who praise our Lord.”
أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَلَّمَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَوَى عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ خَارِجًا إِلَى سَفَرٍ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَمِنْ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ وَإِذَا رَجَعَ قَالَهُنَّ وَزَادَ فِيهِنَّ آيِبُونَ تَائِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُون
