Abstract

One of the dynamic manifestations of Islamic culture is its encouragement of people to travel and to show travelers great respect and provide them with facilities. This dynamic mentality, urged by Quran and Islamic Tradition, Jurisprudence and even mysticism, is so lively and strong that it has never lost its influence and has always been a source of Islamic society’s inspiration.
Today traveling has gained such value and breadth that attraction of travelers has been recognized as a profitable industry and a source of employment which plays a vital role in earning foreign exchange and cultural influence, to the level that today this branch of activity is taught academically and is considered by a great number of countries as one of the main sources of revenue.
