Dream - Mudik has become a tradition for Indonesian people before the arrival of Eid al-Fitr. This annual tradition is usually done a few days before the holiday. It is understandable that there is congestion on the roads and overcrowding in the purchase of public transportation tickets, such as buses, trains, ships, and airplanes during this moment. However, the excitement of going back to the hometown should not make Dream friends forget to pray to Allah SWT while doing mudik. Especially since during mudik, Muslims are still observing Ramadan fasting.

And one thing that should not be missed when traveling home is to pray. The goal is to seek protection from Allah SWT to arrive safely at the destination. In addition, the prayer of fasting travelers is also very effective. This is as the Prophet Muhammad said: "There are three prayers that are not rejected: the prayer of parents (to their children), the prayer of fasting people, and the prayer of travelers." (HR. Al Baihaqi, authenticated by Al Albani)

Ustadz Dr. Raehanul Bahraen said to increase praying while traveling to visit parents. Also inform the parents that Dream's friend is on their way to their house. By doing so, the parents at home will also pray for you. He also said that the prayer should be done with sincere intention and make the parents happy with your arrival. Because being kind to parents is one of Allah's commandments as explained in Surah An-Nisa, verse 36.

When traveling, especially long distances, people are usually overwhelmed with worry about everything that will happen during the journey. However, through prayer, that anxiety can be eliminated. Prayer will make people feel more at ease because Allah SWT accompanies us.

When Dream's friend prays before embarking on a journey, it will always remind us of Allah SWT. Because everything we do should involve Allah SWT. Because what we do, all the ease and smoothness is a blessing from Allah SWT. God willing, with that, Allah SWT will bless us.

Reading prayers while traveling will keep us away from arrogance. This reminds us that in Islam, it is taught that arrogance is a trait hated by Allah SWT. When we pray, it shows our dependence on Allah SWT. On the other hand, if we do not pray, it actually shows arrogance.

The following is the translation of the provided 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The next benefit of reciting prayers while traveling is that it makes us more optimistic. Realizing that Allah SWT is the Almighty. When we surrender and plead to Him, then believe that Allah SWT will give us the best. Not exempt when praying while traveling. So, it will make us more optimistic in carrying it out until we reach our destination."
