Travel in Islam is far more than moving from one place to another — it is an opportunity for worship, reflection, and growth. Rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah, this course uncovers the deeper purpose and blessings of travelling, whether for pilgrimage, seeking knowledge, visiting family, or even leisure. You’ll learn how to transform every journey into a source of reward, guided by the wisdom of the Prophet ﷺ, the companions, and classical scholars.

From essential rulings and supplications to the etiquettes that bring barakah to your trips, this course equips you with the tools to travel with purpose and peace of mind. Avoid the pitfalls of the haram, elevate the permissible into acts of worship, and discover how every step of the journey can draw you closer to Allah.
