Far Trips

O, Dear Sister....

Be very careful from far trips that require days and nights, and the long ones too… especially since male-female associations and medleys, which are forbidden, have become obligatory... and other dangers are also probable... and what has reached us from situations does not indicate welfare…

This includes the “visiting trips” to the holy shrines which should preserve at least, the least level of morals, good actions, sincerity and noble conduct to achieve what is wished for, from spirituality and attention...

This also includes “school trips” which, almost all of them, have become islamically forbidden, and the little left are suspicious... Infact they became the sites for people with bad intentions… who actually plan to make use of them... to do what isn’t permissible in the school campus!!! Where infront of the supervisors, dancing, singing, forbidden touches, strange actions and brazen laughs become permissible… of course, out of “innocent and good intentions”!!! because they are all “friends”!!! The truth is that they make use of you for entertainment to spend their time with you for one day!!! Did you forget that: ﴾On that day you shall be exposed to view- no secret of yours shall remain hidden﴿. The Sure Calamity-18

In our days, such trips have become widely spread for different occasions as “Eid”, school holidays, summer vacations, week ends, etc…

And he who has no reason for a trip “invents” one!!!

﴾These are who make mischief in the land and don’t act aright﴿. The Poets-152
