The purpose of your journey What can you do to learn while travelling?
Like new words, skills, people, stories...

The prophet Muhammad salahu alaihi wa salam
said:
"If anyone travels on a road in search of
knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one
of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower
their wings in their great pleasure with one who
seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and
the earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask
forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of
the learned man over the devout is like that of the
moon, on the night when it is full over the rest of
the stars. The learned are the heirs of the prophets,
and the prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham,
leaving only knowledge and he who takes it, takes
an abundant portion.”

Abu-Dawood, hadith 1631
