Travel

When you desire to discover the true worth of a friend, travel with him because during travel, a person is unveiled. The external appearance melts away and the true self is uncovered. And why else is travel (safar) called “the one which uncovers”? Except because it discloses the actual manners and character. - Ume Hakima

    1. Umm Hikmah is 'Mother of Wisdom'

      Quran 23:26 "Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? – A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord."

  2. Narrated 'Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "Do not wish to be like anyone, except in two cases: (1) A man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously. (2) A man whom Allah has given wisdom (knowledge of the Quran and the Hadith) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others."
