"Tourism" in the Qur'an and Sunnah Perspectives

Abstract

There are traces of nine ancient nations on the planet, they have the status of a living and eternal history. All the developed nations of the world are using them. And sometimes the written history is obscured by these traces. Along with the lifestyle, civilization and culture of the previous nations, they also inform about their physical features. Such as the pyramids of Egypt, the Qasr-Ksari and the monuments of the nation of Aad and Smood, etc. Visiting and studying these living historical monuments is better than turning the pages of many tourist and historical books. The Holy Quran is a book of wisdom, and it informs about matters up to the Day of Judgment and provides awareness of the future. Tourism is also a special topic of the Holy Quran. So that lessons can be learned from these historical evidences. Tourism is allowed in Islam, but the aim of Islam is not to have airy entertainment, this element is implicit in the order of entertainment on earth. Leaders and thinkers of all other religions, after sitting in a corner, travel around the world for thinking about creation. And this order has been given in Prescriptive Chemistry. Now it is the need of the time to get out of the limited thinking angles and give them knowledge. It should be done with breadth.
