Sunnah and manners of travelling
Dear Islamic brothers! We should try and learn all of the Sunnah and etiquettes of travelling in order to act upon them and earn reward:
1. If possible, begin your journey on a Thursday because it is a Sunnah to start a journey on Thursday. (Ashi’a-tul-Lam’aat, vol. 5, p. 161)
2. If it is possible, one should travel at night because the journey will be completed faster.
3. If there are many Islamic brothers travelling together, make one of them the leader (Ameer).
4. When leaving for the journey, ask your friends, family etc. for forgiveness and forgive those who ask you for forgiveness.
(Bahar-e-Shari’at, p. 19, vol. 6)
5. Before departing for the journey, if it is not a Makruh time, offer 4 cycles of Nafl with ‘اَلۡحَمۡدُ وَ قُلۡ’, and then leave. These units of prayer will protect your family and wealth.
6. Whenever we leave for a journey, we should entrust our family and wealth to Allah Almighty. Without a doubt Allah Almighty is the best Protector. If possible, one should say the following words to his family:
