Allah, do hearts find rest.” (Quran 13:28)
Sara Salih has contributed to the past three battuta issues. Her articles have resonated a lot with our readers who are curious to know more about Sara Salih. So, without further ado, let’s get started with our Q&A. Sara, welcome! Our readers are so curious to know more about you. Tell us, who is Sara Salih? My response could turn into a profoundly philosophical answer! I’m a writer, traveler, and advocate for personal development, emotional healing, and mental health. I encourage others to use travel, inner reflection, and anything unique to them for their self-work, spirituality, and therapy. HalalTravels’ motto is, “Traveling starts with an inspiration.” How about you? What inspires you to travel? I have this deep desire to see and step foot on every part of this Earth. I believe Allah swt gave us this world to seek Him and praise Him by any means continuously, and travel happens to be the way I love to do it. Whenever I travel, I feel closer to Him and have a renewed sense of awe and appreciation. I think it happens because seeing His Creation everywhere I go, mainly when I’m far from home, reminds me of how small I am. It gives me perspective and makes me feel better that my troubles back home aren’t as tough as I make them out to be. And anyway, we all want to have fun - that’s all the inspiration you need.
