RTW & Sadaqa

Hadrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) saying, "Every bone of men's fingers and toes must give sadaqa every day the sun rises. If one gives justice between two men it is sadaqa; if one helps a man with his beast, loading or lifting his goods on it, it is sadaqa; a good word is sadaqa; every step one takes towards prayer is sadaqa; and if anyone removes anything injurious from the road it is sadaqa."

(Bukhari and Muslim)

 

Alhamdulillah, RTW gives an opportunity for giving sadaqa. The part I'm referring to is 'if anyone removes anything injurious from the road'. On narrow roads, especially, bicycle riders are the ones who could do it safely and without much obstacles. He (or she, well, you know what I mean) could easily dismount and park the bike on the kerb or somewhere safe. Then he could proceed with removing the obstacles on the road. Or dead kittens. Easy. However, your safety should come first.

 

Have a great ride.

Always look for those opportunities, along with zikrullah.
