TRAVEL GUIDE OF EXPLORATION AND LIFE EXPERIENCES.
MUHAMMAD (SALLALLAHU ALAYHE WASALLAM) IS SAID TO HAVE STATED: "DO NOT TELL ME HOW EDUCATED YOU ARE, TELL ME HOW MUCH YOU HAVE TRAVELED. THEN I WILL KNOW HOW EDUCATED YOU ARE."
I HAVE NOT YET FOUND WHAT HADITH THIS IS FROM. THIS QUOTE MAY NEVER HAVE BEEN SAID BY THE PROPHET OF ISLAM BUT THE STATEMENT IS WONDERFUL AS LONG AS THE INTELLIGENCE AND WISDOM OF MANY WHO CAN NOT TRAVEL IS NOT DISCOUNTED BECAUSE MANY WHO CAN NOT EVER TRAVEL DO HAVE MUCH INTELLIGENCE OR WISDOM. NOW, HERE IS A QUOTE FROM MUHAMMAD (SALLALLAHU ALAYHE WASALLAM) THAT CAN BE VERIFIED IN HADITH 40 BY ABDULLAH IBN UMAR:
"BE IN THIS WORLD AS THOUGH YOU WERE A STRANGER OR A WAYFARER". AND IN QURAN VERSE 67:15 WE HAVE "IT IS HE WHO MADE THE EARTH MANAGEABLE FOR YOU, SO TRAVEL ITS REGIONS, AND EAT OF HIS PROVISIONS. TO HIM IS THE RESURGENCE."
