Islam, as al-din or a way of life, provides guidelines in every aspect of life. Islam observes that any action performed by a Muslim is counted as virtue as long as it is done accordingly and does not inflict harm or damage to his self or others. In fact, this action is deemed worship if it is for the purpose of seeking Allah’s blessing and the implementation does not contradict with the tenets of Islam. Likewise, in tourism. Aspects such as intention of a visit, places to visit, method of a visit, activities and rukhsah during a visit are among the guidelines discussed. This paper thus attempts to describe the basic concepts of Islamic Tourism based on the Quran and Sunnah and its relation to the environmental preservation and protection.
