Travel in the Quran

In the Quran we are invited to "travel through the Earth" so that we can learn lessons from the past. What happened to the great powers and civilizations of the past?

Throughout the Quran, special emphasis is laid on physical travel. The word saiyr — meaning travel or move — appears in its variations 27 times in the Quran, often as "Do travel," "Tell them to travel," or "Do they not travel?"

We surely sent a messenger to every community, saying, "Worship Allah and shun false gods." But some of them were guided by Allah, while others were destined to stray. So travel throughout the land and see the fate of the deniers!

An-Nahl (The Bee) 16:36

Say, "Travel through the land; then observe how was the end of the deniers."

Al-An'am (The Cattle) 6:11

The Quran presents travel as a potential pilgrimage, since during travel one passes by numerous ayah or divine signs (12:105, 22:46, 31:31). Man's ability to travel is also described as a special honor given to humankind (17:70).

The key purpose of Amity Islamic Tours is to follow this instruction from Allah. We ensure that when you travel, you experience everything halal — you and your family visit past civilizations and historical places in Islamic history, and strengthen the deen of your family.
