The Essence of ‘Musafir
The name ‘Musafir’, which means ‘traveller’ in Arabic, is more than just a word. It embodies the core values and mission of our charity. It originates from the root word ‘Safar ‘, which denotes travel, journey, or voyage.
It aptly captures the essence of our existence in this world as described in the Hadith. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ advised, “Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveller/wayfarer” [Bukhari: 6416].
Life’s Transience
The Hadith reminds us of life’s temporary nature, a fleeting journey that will soon end. After that, when we leave, we will only have our actions. This underscores the urgency to act now and make a difference.
A Call to Action
“Musafir” signifies our collective journey, highlighting the responsibility we all share to support one another as we navigate through this world. The name of the charity is a call to action, encouraging us all to use our health, time, and resources wisely by aiding those in need.
It reflects the transient nature of life and the crucial importance of preparing for the Hereafter by doing good work such as giving donations, volunteering, or sharing the message to encourage others to participate.
