What is required from traveling is either worldly things such as wealth and
influence, or religious. The religious is either knowledge or work.
Knowledge is either religious science or human science or the science of the
earth and its wonders, as the journey of Thul Karnain in his tour around the earth.
Work is either worship or a visit, worship is pilgrimage, Umrah and Jihad. The
visit is also of devotion, such as the intention to visit a place like Makkah or
Jerusalem, and ports like Alexandria, as staying there is a kind of devotion, or it

either dead, so you visit their graves, or alive, and you will be blessed by seeing
them. You would benefit from seeing their circumstances in strengthening your
desire to take them as your example.
