Let the holiday not make us forget our values:
 
The Muslim personality acts with the same consciousness in the presence of Allah in the mosque, whether on vacation, on the beach, in the hotel, on the plateau or in the shopping mall. It never allows its values ​​to be destroyed or eroded by changing environments, places and conditions.
 
Vacation is an opportunity to get closer to Allah:
 
The Muslim personality, fascinated by modern culture, never gives a premium to holiday plans that do not match with their religion, culture and values. For him, a holiday means renewing himself, getting closer to Allah, increasing his contemplation, spending time with his family and children, being able to read a lot, doing his own internal accounting, and visiting relatives he neglected.
 
The first condition we will look for on holiday is a halal ground:
 
The Muslim person strives for a halal holiday plan before the price, conditions and time when planning and programming for the holiday. At the end of his trips, visits and stays under the name of vacation, he strongly avoids vacation plans that will expose himself, his family and children to great burdens of haram and sins.
 
Vacation is a natural education for our family:
 
A Muslim person never neglects his prayers, Islamic duties and duties on the occasion of his vacation. By turning the journey into a natural educational opportunity, it creates a natural educational environment for spouses and children on how to pray during the journey, and what to pay attention to when traveling as a Muslim. While traveling, he stays away from other harams as well as from wasting haram.
 
The holiday is an opportunity to remind our children of our ideals:
 
While planning their vacations, the Muslim person attaches great importance to ensuring that their children, who need Islamic education during the summer vacation, are not deprived of this education, and places the Islamic education program for their children, especially the Qur'an education, at the center of all their vacation plans. He gives them special advice on Islamic goals and ideals.
 
Vacation is never a surrender to imperialist culture:
 
While planning a holiday, the Muslim person resists not to leave himself to the mercy of hotels under the name of Islamic holiday, with the influence of modern culture. First of all, she strives for a holiday program where she can visit relatives and bring her children together with their own culture, soil, nature and relatives.
 
Do not let the holiday destroy our principles of (for men and women) sit separately:
 
A Muslim person does not destroy his own values ​​with his own hands by taking his family to hotels and places where the principles of "sit separately" are not taken into account in order to have a comfortable holiday.
 
Don't let the holidays weaken our halal food sensitivity:
 
The Muslim personality is constantly on the alert so that not even a single bite of haram passes through his family's throat in the hotels and resorts where he will stay. He tries to learn from reliable sources that the food served to him and his family in these places is halal, whether the meat served is halal cut, whether there are any illegal additives in the food, and to act accordingly.
 
Vacation is an opportunity to accumulate a high spirituality:
 
Muslim personalities try to benefit from their conversations and prayers by visiting spiritual personalities in the places they visit and pass by for their holidays. He does not neglect to visit the graves of the companions, spiritual personalities and friends of Allah who have graves wherever he goes, and at least recite a Fatiha.
 
Vacation is a great opportunity to read:
 
The Muslim person makes great efforts to ensure that his wife and children, especially himself, can read and finish at least one book during the vacation he has planned, and he never neglects the mosque and congregational prayers wherever he goes.
