“The intelligent and refined find no rest in dwelling in one place,

So leave your homeland and travel far away!

Travel and you will meet new people replacing those left behind,

And tire yourself out, because it makes life worth living!

I have seen that water stagnates when it stands still,

Yet when it runs it is sweet and pure.

And if the lion left not its land,

it would not catch its prey

And if the arrow left not the bow,

it would not hit its aim

And if the sun moved not across the horizon,

People the world over would have tired of the sky.”

– Imam Shafi

Eid is for the one whose sins are forgiven

“Eid is not for the one who wears new clothes.

Eid is for the one whose obedience rises.

Eid is not for the one with beautiful clothes and fine means of transport,

Eid is for the one whose sins are forgiven.”

Ibn Rajab rahimahullaah

[al-Lata’if, p. 371].
