A famous quote by an equally famous American philosopher emphasizing on how the actual outcome may possess less relevance compared to the value added along the way- journey. This important lesson can be applied to numerous perspectives in life however, for now, let's discuss it in its literal sense.
Traveling has become a common pursuit many are now delving into to enrich their lives by experiencing new adventures. As someone who may find themselves in situations that require them to be mobile, It can be understood just how crucial it is to stay committed to adhering to their personal and religious obligations throughout their journey.
It is evident that one’s personal and religious obligations go hand in hand and being forced into a position where either of them are being compromised can cause detrimental effects on their mental, physical or even spiritual health. DEENIN understands the plethora of struggles one faces whether that be on a vacation or in their day to day routines.
Let's just consider making wudhu for the time being, one of the most significant hurdles is performing wudhu and that too having to do that while on-the-go leads to additional obstacles such as finding suitable facilities while adhering to social norms. In public settings such as airports, educational institutions, and workplaces, it can be challenging to locate a clean and private space for wudhu. Especially in places that are not customized with a proper place to make wudhu.
Additionally, washing one's feet in public sinks can be perceived as inappropriate or bad manners, often leading to discomfort and disapproval from others in the vicinity. This social stigma can create an uneasy atmosphere, making the individual performing wudhu feel self-conscious and rushed. The need to find a balance between fulfilling religious obligations and adhering to social etiquette adds an extra layer of complexity, making it a daunting task for many.
This can be such a complicated scenario to be caught up in, having to decide whether you should explain yourself or just embrace the embarrassment and judgment evident in the others’ expression. The scrutiny and disapproving looks from others can significantly heighten anxiety, turning a simple religious practice into a source of stress. This is never an easy situation to maneuver around nor is it desired.
Imagine performing wudhu in a public washroom at university or at the office, without a care in the world while looking forward to praying and experiencing that sense of internal peace and catching a break from your current responsibilities, when all of a sudden you sense severe judgment for having your foot in the sink. Your peers are questioning you for this ‘odd’ practice. The quizzical looks slowly followed by a deep sense of disgust. “Why would you have your nasty foot in the sink? We wash our hands and face here”.
The entire process of maintaining religious practices in such public environments becomes not only logistically challenging but also emotionally stressful.
On the other hand, this scenario not only undermines the spiritual tranquility that wudhu is meant to provide but also disrupts one's mental peace. In the end, this situation has the potential to have immense amount of adverse effect on an individual, whether that be in the sense of disruption to their mental health, or the fall of their respect in the eyes of their peers, or, the worst of all, a stimulation of a disconnect with their religious responsibilities. The same religious responsibilities that were once a source of ease and comfort are now transformed into a source of embarrassment. The existence of potentially harming your connection with Allah (SWT) over something like this would be heartbreaking.
