Souvenir of Taqwā: A Travel Handbook for Muslims by: Abeer Arain

Taqwa 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 taqwa maintains a constant connection with Allah. However, when worldly attractions arise, such as during recreational travel, the focus on taqwa can sometimes wane. 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 iman (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 valuable souvenir of taqwä! This book will equip you to create a thoughtful itinerary that addresses the why, how, and when of your travels from an Islamic perspective.
