Chapter on Provisions for Travel

وَ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لاِبْنِهِ: يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّ اَلدُّنْيَا بَحْرٌ عَمِيقٌ وَ قَدْ هَلَكَ فِيهَا عَالَمٌ كَثِيرٌ فَاجْعَلْ سَفِينَتَكَ فِيهَا اَلْإِيمَانَ بِاللَّهِ وَ اِجْعَلْ شِرَاعَهَا اَلتَّوَكُّلَ عَلَى اَللَّهِ وَ اِجْعَلْ زَادَكَ فِيهَا تَقْوَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنْ نَجَوْتَ فَبِرَحْمَةِ اَللَّهِ وَ إِنْ هَلَكْتَ فَبِذُنُوبِكَ.
Luqman said to his son: "O my son, the world is a deep ocean in which many people have drowned. Make your ship in it faith in Allah سبحانه وتعالى, make its sail reliance upon Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and make your provision in it piety toward Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Glorious. If you are saved, it is by the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, and if you perish, it is due to your sins."
