Unfortunately, some of us, May Allah show them the right guidance, are proud of this and try to make propaganda for the country they have visited, disregarding the prohibited things that could spoil our religion and make them commit sins like taking photos and witnessing the bad morals which affect their morals. Some of it is magic and foreseeing in which the prophet Mohammed (p.b.u.h) said: He who seeks fortuneteller and believes in what he says is infidel). Beside that, youth tend to spend , excessively, money on both what is not permissible in Islam like drinking alcohol and attending dancing clubs.

It is common , during the days that proceed the vacation that some men taking their wives to photography shops before traveling to take a photo to the passport and let other men photographing them without shyness or jealousy or even without fear to exceed the limits! And this is not allowed in Islam, as our clerics say, and even if the photographer is a female, as the Prophet said: every photographer is in hell) and said: (He who made an image shall be asked to make it alive in the Judgment Day, Yet, he will not be able to). Travel for tourism doesn’t count as such a reason to allow what is legally prohibited, and in our country a lot of nice places for tourism like Abha and Al Taef and the surrounding area.

A lot of travelers urge others and invite them to travel like them as they praise it and bring pictures that allures other people, forgetting the prophet’s saying: ( He who creates a bad sunnah( tradition) shall bear its sin and the sins of those who do it) narrated by Imam Muslim.

So they would say proudly, we visited the US and Europe and we entered the church. And the worst is that some people who would travel around the world.. Do not schedule a visit Mecca to do Omrah, although they might do tourism inside the same country Saudi Arabia.

Photographing women and the negative effects of traveling:

Shiekh Abdul Rahman Al Jabrein has been asked about the phenomenon of family-travel to Arab, Western, Asian, European or American countries, and the need to take photograph for wife and children in order to do so as that is known by our clerics is that taking photographs is forbidden in Islam except for an extreme need. And he has been asked also about spending a lot of money on things that are wither permissible or impermissible in Islam, as well as violations of Islamic rules concerning women such as veil and makeup and witnessing a lot of sins that would be tempting .

He answered:

Al Hamdulellah and peace and prayers be upon our prophet Mohammed , his associates and companions.

A lot of Ahadeeth( speeches of the prophet peace be upon him) have been narrated about prohibiting photography such as mentioned above and it all refer to pictures, whether sculptured or painted. These pictures shall be damaged as Angels do not enter a home contains it. Yet, as there is some need for pictures such as for passports to travel for medication or study, our religious scholars allowed it.

Thus , I believe that taking photographs for tourism is not allowed, specially when accompanying women and the family which consequently would result in a lot of bad effects such as:

1- foreign men look at the photos of the women in borders and it is known that the face of the woman shall not be revealed for foreigners.

2- such travels are of no use and it is a waste of time and money and it can’t be deemed to be done for knowledge of cultures of other countries as travelers do not make it for acquiring knowledge and wisdom and remembering Allah as much as they make it for relaxation and witnessing the prohibited things.

3-Wasting time and money in the benefit of the infidels who are enemies of Islam in a way that makes them stronger to launch war on Islam.

4- Spending much time in doing the things that are allowed in Islam to the extent that they forget to do what is requested from Muslims to do, hence they might have big sins like committing adultery and drinking alcohol and hearing music and attending dancing clubs and spending a lot of money in doings sins and things that are renounced in Islam. All that goes to the benefit of the infidels and launching war against Muslims

5- Muslim women do fall in sins and act against Islamic rules as some of them do not wear the Hijab(veil) and reveal her face and hair imitating infidel women while claiming that she can’t put the veil among women with full make up and then she falls in doing the sin of imitating infidel women and as a result her husband or father would not be able to prevent her.

6- Travelling to these countries without a reason but tourism may lead to do sins and humiliate Muslims when some of them curse the Islamic rules and praise the infidels. Here we advice Muslims to preserve themselves ; their minds , their families , money and religion and do not travel but for an urgent need.

By Abd Allah bin Abd Al Rahman Al Jabrein.

Negative sides of travelling to Arab or Western countries:

1- Admiring the infidels (if the destination is for a Western country) and hence praising them and deciding not to go back to home land and this not allowed in Islam as Sheikh Ibn Othaimeen said. Allah said: (Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger) Al Mujadelah 22

2- A lot of Muslims have admired clothes of the infidels

3- Muslim women unveil their faces and hair without shyness as the husband or father or the brother do not mind and might even have ordered them to do so till Muslim women got annoyed of the veil once they come back to their country and leaded to creating new designs of the veils.

4- Muslim sons and daughters would see a lot of actions and deeds that are not allowed in Islam as soon as they arrive in the airport while the parents can not prevent them from seeing these prohibited things which means a bad raising for them.

The messenger (peace be upon him) said: (You all are responsible) and said: (Allah would ask every responsible person, whether he saved or wasted what he was responsible for) Do they people forgot the dooms Day?

5- Generally The parents would deny those who commit big sins or even the small ones and this is an obligatory action in Islam if abandoned, the Muslim would sin. Also, the parents would not be able to prevent themselves, or their offspring, from watching prohibited deeds and the result would be sickness of the heart and evoking for the lusts as well as facing punishment in both lives.

6- Girls would lose the feeling of shyness as they see the alluring scenes and shameful ones and we can see this effect on those who come back from the Western countries.

7- Sons and daughters would get used to what is prohibited in Islam such as: drinking alcohol, gambling, nightclubs, dancing, semi-naked clothes, driving for women, attending matches and wrestling and others. This would make them curse their country once they come back as it lacks all of it which they call advancement in culture while in fact this vise versa is true. Allah said: (Truly it is not their eyes that are blind, but their hearts which are in their breasts)

8- The family would love these countries, whether it is neighboring or far ones, Arab or Western and we see that those who have visited it once, insist on visiting it again whatever it costs and they become addicted to travel!!

9- They will find it easy to see any prohibited deeds in their country as they saw much greater ones out. 10- Praising the weather of those countries and cursing the weather of Saudi Arabia, which means they will curse the life.

High-ranking member of the committee of the Islamic clerics have been asked the following:

Muslim youth are facing a phenomenon of traveling abroad after they get married or during vacation for tourism as they claim that even some preservative families and clerics have issued a fatwa permitting that.

First: If the parent knew that his son will travel after his marriage, is it a must to prevent him? And what is the evidence in Islam? Answer: The parent shall prevent his son from traveling if this was only for tourism, if he has the ability to do so, as it will harm his son and his religion. If he doesn’t have the ability to prevent him, he shall advise him and do not give him money as it will help him instead.

Second: If the parent knows that his son-in-law will travel, shall he prevent his daughter? And shall she adhere by her father’s request or adhere to her husband to travel for tourism?

Answer: the father shall prevent his daughter from traveling with her husband for tourism and she shall not agree with him.

Third: Shall the parent put condition in the wedding contract of his daughter that she will not travel with her husband for tourism to the Western countries as it is full with great sins or the Arab countries that do not abide by the Islamic rules?

Answer: Yes, he has the right to do so.

Fourth: What is your advice for those who are psychologically defeated against the Western culture and praise their industrial and materialistic advance and proud of traveling to these countries after they get married?

Answer: I advise them to fear Allah and stop traveling to these countries as it as a lot of bad effects on our religion and they shall not be allured of what the infidels have as Allah prepared greater things for Muslim believers that is will last for ever

Fifth: Shall the Muslim answer an invitation from those who come back after traveling to these countries as they usually hold celebrations after their return ?

Answer: It is advised not to answer their invitation as this would be like indirect encouragement for them to travel. Yet, it is better to refuse it as a punishment.

Finally: Dear parent, who is proud of his religion: to cancel the decision of traveling in response to your family’s request is much easier than regret it on the Judgement Day as it will be considered as cheating those whom you are responsible for.

You shall compare and think about it. Then, decide! You are the only responsible for it.

Allah said: (The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail) Ashuara 88. And said: (That Day shall a man flee from his own brother) Abasa 34.

People travel to Europe hoping to make it but little did they know that it’s not as sweet as it sounds. All that glitters is not gold.

Consult objectively Holidays

The way we over the years has changed and many of us find that we spend a lot of money without a lot of information that underlie our purchasing decisions. One might think that the things we should now be improved with book online more, but it is as if we need much more information.

So how can you be traveling? One major problem we have is that often relying TravelCompanies to provide advice and information. This is always the case and many of us were immediately aware that we rely simply on holiday brochures and advice on personal travel agency.

Sometimes they would know little accommodation or special places. This was not surprising – we expected that not every employee would have stayed in every hotel. This simply would not have been possible. Similarly, the information foundThe brochure was often missing.

Eastern Europe has become one of the hottest travel destinations in recent years. It has some of the most beautiful cities, interesting cultures, and fantastic foods. However, certain parts of Eastern Europe can still be quite dangerous. As an extensive traveller of Eastern Europe I can give you some insight on how to stay safe and make sure that your trip is a memorable one.

1. Plan your trip ahead of time. The biggest mistake travellers make while travelling through Eastern Europe is unexpected stops and spontaneous decisions without considering the possible dangers. Plan where you will be going and staying, look up street names, hostels, hotels, and carry them with you. This will minimize your chances of getting lost and getting taken advantage of.

2. If possible, only travel by day. Although night train routes are popular, they are also very popular with thieves. It is not uncommon for your luggage and wallet to go missing while you slumber. If you travel by night, take shifts sleeping and keep watch of your personal belongings.

3. Do not give beggars money. As sad and depressing as it can be to pass by someone begging on the street, especially if they are a child, do not give them money. Begging in Eastern Europe is an art. Where one person is begging there are 10 more watching who will promptly approach you and try to get money, or follow you and try to pick-pocket you.

4. Learn some basic phrases in the language of the countries you are visiting. Unless you are in a major city you will be hard-pressed to find someone who speaks English well enough to understand you. Basics like: where is the bathroom, help me, I’m lost, emergency, hospital, doctor, bar, beer, train station, bus station, etc. are quite important when travelling.

5. Do not get into a taxi cab unless you are sure it is a real taxi. At airports and train stations if someone approaches you and says “taxi” do not go with them. There are taxi stands with legitimate taxi’s located in front of all major train stations, bus stations, and airports. Legitimate taxi’s have stickers on the windows displaying prices, a mileage counter/meter display, and park in line at the taxi stand – not in obscure places.

6. Exchange your currency as soon as possible and know where you can exchange currency in the city you are staying. Do not carry large sums of cash with you everywhere you go.

7. Always know the address and phone number of the nearest Embassy or Consulate of the country you originate from. If you lose your passport, all of your belongings are stolen, or you are in danger that is the place you will be going for help.

8. Do not bring very expensive or flashy items with you on your trip. Bring a basic camera, clothing, limited jewellery, and comfortable shoes. You want to limit the attention people pay to you. If you’re immediately identified as a foreigner you’ll be an easier target for theft.

9. Give yourself lots of time to get to places and always have a backup plan. Trains and buses in Eastern Europe are notorious for arriving late and taking longer than they should have. Leave well ahead of the time to avoid missing your flight.

10. Enjoy yourself! Take the time to eat at authentic places and visit the different sites.

If you follow these tips you’re guaranteed to have a pleasant trip.

Argentina is an exciting place to visit. It offers a variety of noteworthy destinations and despite being in South America has a distinctly European vibe. However, Argentina is a foreign country and international visitors need to be aware of several issues related to Argentina travel and safety information.

The most important safety step you can take before deciding to embark on Argentina travel is to make sure you have travel insurance. Many people who have travel insurance in the United States are not covered for medical expenses aboard. This may be something you want to look into. There are various types of travel insurance, some only cover emergency medical expenses, with other cover unplanned trip changes, such as cancelled flights.

Those with their hearts set on an Argentina vacation will be happy to know that Argentina is now one of the safest countries to visit in Latin America. Crime is not common, but you need to be aware of your surroundings at all times. Use the same precautions when visiting Buenos Aires as you would in New York City or any other large city with a lot of bustle.

If you do happen to get sick or injured during you Argentina vacation, you will probably not have to travel far for good medical care if you’re in Buenos Aires. In rural areas you may have more of a problem. The US Embassy website is a good source for specific information relating to certified doctors, dentists, and hospitals.

If you are traveling to Salta, one thing to watch out for is Dengue fever. Dengue is a disease transmitted by mosquitoes. They tend to breed close to humans in still water caught in containers such old tires, jugs, barrels, etc. Because of this Dengue is often contracted in urban areas. If you start to experience flu-like symptoms such as a fever, aches, joint pain, headaches, vomiting, nausea, and perhaps even a rash, you may want to see a doctor. Note however that the only cure for Dengue is waiting it out while taking analgesics and drinking lots of liquids.

If you’re going on an Argentina trip, you should also be aware that Argentina has different laws and imposes different penalties for infractions, such as drug use. In general, the penalties for drug possession, even if only marijuana, tend to be harsh and can result in up to 10 years in imprisonment, so it is best just to steer clear of questionable substances. Likewise, be sure not to carry anything questionable across the border and to keep your eye on your own bags to make sure no one else puts anything unwanted in your bags.

The top ten vacation spots depend a bit on what kind of vacation you like. Do you like visiting cities, go sight-seeing and shopping? Here are five of the most interesting cities to visit:

~Rome~

The eternal city has a lot to offer! History, religion and shopping- all in a great mix. Not to forget the food! Since Rome does not get really cold, even during winter, it is an excellent choice for a vacation any time of the year.

~London~

This has long been the metropolis of Europe, and has a lot to offer as regard sightseeing and museums. The London Bridge, the Tower of London and taking a trip on the Thames river. And, of course, the British museum! Everything is well-organized for tourism.

~Stockholm~

This city is built on 14 islands, at the east coast of Sweden. The water is so clean that you can eat the fish, and you always see somebody standing on one of the many bridges fishing. The old part of town dates hundreds of years back, and is like walking through a history book. A lot of interesting architecture. Most people can speak English, so getting around is no problem.

~Dubai~

This is a fairly new city, looking like a concrete jungle but full of life! Here you can find everything, including beautiful beaches,  but a lot of people come here for the shopping. You can find anything here, for a good price. Even IKEA has opened its furniture store in Dubai! Getting around is cheap with taxi, and there are hotels for every pocket.

~Hong Kong~

Even after returning to China, Hong Kong has still retained its place as a hub in Asia. Electronics and clothes are still good bargains here. Many people travel to Hong Kong to have their clothes made by one of the many professional tailors available. But Hong Kong also has beautiful nature to admire and visit. The many restaurants offer a variety of seafood and other Chinese specialties.

Even though many cities also have beaches and sun, below are five top destinations for pure relaxation!

~Mexico~

This country has really done a lot to welcome tourism. Here, you have fantastic beaches and marine life. Go snorkeling, swimming and diving. Visit the Maya ruins and learn more about the fascinating culture that once existed here.

~Hawaii~

Sun, beach and relaxation! That is what comes to your mind when you hear the word Hawaii. But there is so much more on offer here! You can also go whale watching, visit the Volcanic Park or see where the famous Kona coffee is grown.

~Barbados~

Barbados is a small island, with enormous beaches. Swimming and surfing is part of the daily life here.  It is to get around with the buses that go all over the island, unless you want to rent a car or simply stay put! What is really neat here is that people do not like to stress! Try their fantastic flying fish and tasty rum, and take some home as well!

~Canary Islands~

A group of islands that belong to Spain, outside the west-coast of Africa. Sunshine all year around, and plenty of hotels to cater to tourists. Miles and miles of white sand beaches. But try renting a car and go outside the hotel areas, and you will see a tranquil, old-fashioned way of life. Great food, and very friendly people.

~Maldives~

An island nation in the Indian ocean, full of palm trees, blue sky and turquoise water. A perfect honey-moon destination, but also great for anybody who loves to slow down or do water- sports.

So sit down and think what kind of vacation you wish to have. Why not combine a little bit of everything? A stop-over in a city on the way to your beach-destination? The important thing is to do what you like, and use your vacation to recharge those batteries!

Precisely what could globe travel look like several years from now? How about 10 years from today? The area is evolving practically quicker than we can tell of it, however this informative article tries to catch at the least a snapshot involving just what many of us observe unfolding before our sight. It’s appealing as well as invigorating, and I imagine only splashes the surface of what could truly happen.

1.First of all, I want to set your mind to rest. The holiday marketplace isn’t faltering nor is it ripe for a economic downturn. In reality, John Pittman of ASTA thinks this year will probably be a year of recovery with a lot of travel agencies expecting to rebound beautifully. Dr. Rach of the NYU Tisch Facility expresses that ‘œthe global interest in travel as well as tourism supplies unprecedented opportunities in the years ahead.’ Travel and leisure is a trillion business and, within the next 10 years, quite a few foresee that sum to maybe double as baby boomers blast off and travelers everywhere multiply greatly.

2.United states travel is likely to continue widening and Europe is definitely likely to be providing 730 million tourists by 2020. Nevertheless, tourism will certainly no longer be dominated by Westerners. Travel is beginning to boom in China, India, as well as the Gulf States, and hundreds of millions more people from these regions will certainly embark on spanning the globe.

3.The online market place is actively playing a vital function in over 80% of travel-related research and bookings as more and more choose the convenience of performing such on the net. Forty-three per cent of all e-commerce purchasing is pertaining to travel, rendering it the number one grouping for e-commerce, and it’s building continuously. Also, significantly more consumers are traveling based upon consumer-led, peer-to-peer feedback and recommendation. To paraphrase, consumers are depending a lot more on fellow-travelers to search out a diversity of creative and appealing attractions and activities. Many call it the democratization or the full personalization of travel.

4.Added families prefer to authentically experience new locales, out of the ordinary adventures—that is, get acquainted with the local people, the idiosyncracies connected with a spot, the subculture and grittiness involving actual life. This also implies that quite a few will not only fly but will make trips by train, cruiser, bus, or even bike/motorbike. They will enjoy the full experience in lieu of anxiously hurrying to a spot, then rushing back home. A lot will be satisfied to investigate the nooks and crannies involving their very own country, while others will desire a more international or ‘œforeign’ experience.

5.Many areas not identified for being exceptional attractions may select casinos or gambling to obtain additional tourism. However, some other international locations will probably draw in travelers due to the allure, novelty, prices, or immensity connected with what they have to supply you with. Inside of Two decades, China is forecasted to be the number one tourist vacation destination. Some others surprisingly expected to attract great numbers are Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Qatar, Slovenia, Slovakia, together with, not surprisingly, Brazil.

6.More detailed features will maximize for travelers. Persons are already in a position to rapidly track down individual inns that cater to specific vagaries, to buy tickets to conceivably a leisure facility or perhaps a sporting event across the globe prior to even departing on the road, to discover the closest fitness center or health spa to wherever they will be staying in India or Japan. They can check the actual menu of an obscure but enchanting eaterie on the other side of the world. Thus, organizing a trip or business trip is taking on new meaning as the uniqueness of options becomes more and more detailed.

7.Twelve million new users register on the net every day—and, believe it or not, a great number are living outside the U.S. As the earth’s human population nears seven billion, about 23%-25% are in cyberspace and only 5% of these users are in the U.S. At no more than 15%-16% web saturation, Asia is positiioned to register hundreds of millions more members in the next few decades. Plenty of these will be researching and arranging travel and leisure online.

The Travel Express is just pulling out of your station. Undoubtedly you don’t want to get left out. Begin gearing up for your own odyssey across the globe. Travel is entertaining, progressively more low-cost, and you do understand you have not seen nearly enough of this universe yet.

Every country in Europe takes its own gifts, different languages, cultures and histories for granted. European cruises encompass visits to many of these countries and it is one of the most delightful ways of exploring this continent. Perhaps the most famous sea for a cruise would be the Mediterranean.

As far as an eye opening experience, it does not get better than a visit to Europe. If you want to relax, you certainly will as a far slower pace of living is what virtually every European country is about, so you will be forced to relax too, cruising in itself is also relaxing, you are out in the sea, so you can’t do anything but get laid back in this magical land.

The Western Mediterranean is one of the most famous cruise destinations, where travelers can avail themselves of the beauty of Italy, Croatia, Monaco, France, Spain, Malta, Greece and Monaco.

Visit between May and September for the best possible weather, and make sure your cruise takes you to the Greek Isles, these are not to be missed.

Europe provides for the most diverse holiday experience you could ever have, but if the sunny med holds no interest for you, what about considering a cruise in the beauty of the Baltic? This is an extremely popular European cruise destination.

The cruise season is much like that of Alaska, with the best and busiest months being July and August, but more intrepid travelers can take advantage of cut-price rates if they cruise May and June.

The Baltic is very unique and the countries you visit are also. The most exotic destination on the Baltic sea is more than likely St. Petersburg in Russia, where you can visit the world renowned Hermitage Museum, this museum houses some of the best artwork found anywhere in the world.

Denmark is also a popular cruise destination and Copenhagen in particular. Memories are definitely made of this!

Preparing for European river cruises is not an easy task. If you’d like to read advices from experts and also travelers who speak from experience, you should visit our website that specializes in these trips. I’d personally recommend Seine cruise for everyone who wants to see beautiful places in Europe.
