Dear brother and sister,
I am a muslimah who is a very fond of traveling. I did a lot of travel abroad and to some beautiful places in my country. I could spend like 3-4 times a year to travel. I always consider it a fun thing to do like I cannot live without traveling. Everytime I feel bored with my work, I always book a ticket and go. However, only recently this couple of months, I feel like I am changed. I begin to get closer to Allaah. I begin to really learn about the true Islam. I find peace in my heart. However, my travel buddies keep bugging me to go on traveling. Sometimes I do feel that I still want to go to places I dream. Sometimes, I feel that that was a selfish thing to do, because instead of having fun, I must actually take a serious thing improving my Imaan. I am afraid that when I go traveling again, it will lower my imaan level. Can somebody please advise is there any way for me to ease my traveling desire. Should I completely let go of my dream to travel to places I love? I have this beautiful quote: when you realize how short life is, you will not have time for holiday. I want my dream is to reach Jannah and not being bothered by another dream, such as traveling.
Thank you in advance for your advices.
Assalamu'alaikum

you can do some good every time you take a trip: give sadaqah, volunteer at the local hospital or soup kitchen, drop off toys at an orphanage or homeless shelter, volunteer to help clean up a littered area, donate supplies to schools, etc. You can research the problems in the area you plan to visit as well as the organizations that are doing these things and contact them to offer your help while you're there.
