In this eye-opening reminder, Sheikh Assim Al-Hakeem addresses a growing problem among Muslims today: treating vacations and travel as an excuse to disconnect from Islam. Many abandon hijab, prayer, and modesty the moment they step onto a plane—forgetting that Allah ﷻ sees them no matter where they go.

Sheikh Assim reminds us that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to increase his connection to Allah while traveling, not decrease it. Travel is a test of faith, not a break from it.

📖 Evidence from the Quran and Sunnah:

1. Allah is always watching — wherever you go

“And He is with you wherever you are. And Allah, of what you do, is Seeing.”
(Surah Al-Hadid 57:4)

Changing locations doesn’t remove your obligation to obey Allah. You’re still His servant — on land, in the air, or overseas.

2. The Prophet ﷺ increased remembrance during travel
Ibn Umar (رضي الله عنهما) reported:

“Whenever the Prophet ﷺ mounted his camel for a journey, he would say: ‘Allahu Akbar’ three times, then say:
Subhanalladhi sakhkhara lana hadha…”
(Sahih Muslim 1342)

He would pray, make dua, and stay spiritually connected throughout his travels.

3. Hijab is not optional during travel

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments…”
(Surah Al-Ahzab 33:59)

There is no exception for airports, planes, or foreign cities. Hijab is a command from Allah—not a cultural symbol to be removed when convenient.

💡 Key Takeaways:
• Travel doesn’t suspend your obligations to Allah.
• Keep up your salah, hijab, dhikr, and modesty—even more so while traveling.
• Fear Allah in public and in private, whether at home or on vacation.

🛫 Don’t let a flight be the start of your fall. Take your deen with you — wherever you go.
🕋 Travel like the Prophet ﷺ: with taqwa, not temptation.
