According to Wikipedia adventure is an exciting or unusual experience. It may be activity with some potential for physical danger such as skydiving, mountain climbing or participating in extreme sports. The term also broadly refers to any enterprise that is potentially fraught with physical, financial or psychological risk, such as a business venture or other major life undertakings.For some people, adventure becomes a major pursuit in and of itself. According to adventurer André Malraux, in his La Condition Humaine (1933), “If a man is not ready to risk his life, where is his dignity. Similarly, Helen Keller stated that “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.Outdoor adventurous activities are typically undertaken for the purposes of recreation orexcitement: examples are adventure racing and adventure tourism. Adventurous activities can also lead to gains in knowledge, such as those undertaken by explorers and pioneers. Adventure education intentionally uses challenging experiences for learning.
To be adventurous is a trait which keeps the human being in motion for seeking new venues to satisfy this urge. Amir of Germany, Mr Abdullah Wagishauser also posses this trait which keeps him always willing to undertake or seeking out new and daring enterprises. This time he chose to cycle 560 km from Germany to Hadiqatul Mahdi, the Jalsa Gah of UK. An adventurer always creates a nucleus around him of similar mass. So is the case with Mr Wagishauser. Five others also volunteered to paddel this distance on bikes with him. They are Mr Tariq Arif, Mr Azeem Butt, Mr Hammad Haerter, Mr Stefan Haerter and Mr Lukman Majoka.
Bike Paddlers are planning to leave German City of Aachen on Monday morning and likely to paddel the distance on bikes by evening Wednesday. Inshallah. Effort will be made to keep the MT readers abreast of updated activities of the Bike paddlers. MT and its readers earnestly wish and pray for the success of this adventure.
Allah may enable all participants to complete the journey safely. Amin
Ka-Nallaho ma’a hum (May Allah be with them )& enable all participants to reach their destination safe and sound,a’ameen
Amir of Germany commented as followings:
We will use this tour to give pictures and activities to the press, which will present a normal, peaceloving and healthconcious life of Muslims in this western world. When people listen about Islam and Muslims, they are used to have negative assosiations.This present perception we have to change, every small effort is welcome! We should make it as an excample which everybody can follow. We will introduce AMJ, we will introduce Jalsa UK, the Khalifa even and on the way we will be equipped with folders and we will use every chance to introduce the mission of the Promissed Mesiah as. InshallahBy the way we need german, french and english folders!
