Souvenir of Taqwā: A Travel Handbook for Muslims

by Abeer Arain

Taqwā is the prime essence of our existence in this world;
without it, one cannot truly connect with the Creator. Throughout the day, a
believer with taqwā maintains a constant connection with Allah. However, when
worldly attractions arise, such as during recreational travel, the focus on
taqwā can sometimes diminish. It is then, that we need to redirect the compass
of our hearts towards Allah. 



 



This handbook serves as a guide with tips to help you
rethink your travel habits and explore the world while refreshing your imān
(faith) through travel. Every good that we do becomes an act of worship simply
by changing our intentions. The next time you travel to discover new
landscapes, observe them with greater awareness, and you will return with the
souvenir of taqwā!

I was doing a search for traveling and came across this very helpful book written by Ms. Arain. I enjoyed reading her views on traveling. I took notes about when I travel. This book gave good planning ideas and things to set up for safety. This book is full of knowledge. I will definitely carry this book while I do travel. Though I do not do much camping, the incite of being in the woods and having that connection is very intriguing.
And I will be letting my friend and family know to look for this book.
