Man is a biped animal. So he is mobile and is fond of traveling. He began to travel from one country to another since the dawn of civilization.

Man is inquisitive by nature. So he wants to go out and see great cities, mountains, big lakes, rivers, seas etc. He also wants to know different nations, theirs manners, customs and religion. He wants to do business with people of other countries. Sometimes, he wants relief from dullness of life. So he goes on travel. Hence, we see some people travel for pleasure, some for knowledge and some others for business.

In olden days, there were no trains and steamers and other speedy vehicles. So, the travelers had to go on foot. It was not safe for them to make a long journey. There were also robbers and pirates in every country. Besides, sometimes they had to face the natural calamities. So, they had to overcome all these troubles and dangers.

Vehicles are the gifts and inventions of science. Inventions of trains, steamers, motor cars and airplanes have made travelling much easier. Now their journey is safe and rapid. So man can easily travel a long distance by these speedy vehicles.

The holy Prophet (sm.) travelled from country to country for preaching Islam. Ibn-e-Batuta travelled all over the world. Historians in the past travelled also for collecting historical data.

Travelling is useful. It helps us gain knowledge and gather experience. Travelling gives us firsthand experience and the book second hand. We can learn geographical, religious, political condition etc. of other countries from travelling.

The benefits of travelling are many. So, we should try to go on travels to the best of our abilities. Travelling opens our eyes and widens our mental horizon. The students of the educational institutions of our country should be given facilities to under-take tours to various places of importance at home and abroad. So Allah says in the Koran, “Travel all over the world”.
