Foot paths

Ibn `Umar relates that Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) placed his hand on his shoulder and 

said: “Be in the world as if you are a stranger or a wayfarer.”

Dunya is a bridge from one destination to another, a path and a winding road.

Be the traveller that recognizes this and seek not the temporary abode by the road side, and slowly travel to the palace promised. 

Be the stranger that lays his feet in strange lands, respecting and respectable, honouring and honourable, different from what he sees around him, but true to his calling and nature. And walk on by.
