Driving Pass the Dunya

Salam Yo,

Thank God I finally got my permit, its good to know now i can give dawah on the road, whether it be having an I love Islam license plate or letting other cars get in front of me. Driving is mad fun especially in the beginning, once you put your hand on the wheels its like you can just drive wherever you want, you can go to the masjid if you have a car, now you have no excuse to miss fajr.

You can give people rides and get good deeds, haha alot of people told me “don’t get a car, because when you do you will always be giving people rides” and i noticed that myself because i always ask people for rides. Are they getting annoyed? God knows best but if they help me, Inshallah they will get rewarded for it. Do it for the sake of Allah 🙂

Anyhows anybody who drives knows you have to be defensive, especially in New York, where everyone is always in rush hour. I need an eman rush. Basically my point goes back to what Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Hanson Al Maliki said ” Driving is an Ibadah(form of worship) you can kill hundreds of people on the freeway”. So always be alert and keep your eyes on the road, not at haram things, lower your gaze!

He also said ” a car is a weapon of mass destruction, and you don’t give weapons of mass destruction to idiots”.

Its all good, just jump in the car, read the dua(supplication) for traveling and drive with confidence and watch out for the road devils filled with rage.

Its interesting now a days cars have navigation systems, Sheikh Khalid Yasin said ” If men can make navigation systems to tell you how to guide you from point A to point B then you don’t think God can guide you from this life to heaven thats the real destination, and he did give you the guidance and that is the Holy Quran!

So Yo, keep it moving in this life as our beloved Prophet Muhammad said we are just travelers. We gotta maximize our resources to the highest capacity whether it be using a computer to gain true knowledge or the car to go to the masjid or any place which is HALALUJAH!

Wasalaam, Stay up, Inshallah make dua i can get my driving license…..and marriage license! haha.
