"O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do." (Quran 3:156)

Traveller (مُسَافِر)
Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow), chapter 2, verse 177:

Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous." (Quran 2:177)

And Allah is Knowing and Wise." (Quran 9:60)Surat At-Tawbah (The Repentance), Chapter 9, Verse 112:

And give good tidings to the believers." (Quran 9:112)Surat Yūnus (Jonah), Chapter 10, Verse 22:
"It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from everywhere and they assume that they are surrounded, supplicating Allah , sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."

Indeed, morning is their appointed time. Is not the morning near?" (Quran 11:81)

Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Chapter 2, Verse 273:
"(Charity is) for Fuqara (the poor), who in Allah's Cause are restricted (from travel), and cannot move about in the land (for trade or work). The one who knows them not, thinks that they are rich because of their modesty. You may know them by their mark, they do not beg of people at all. And whatever you spend in good, surely Allah knows it well." (Quran 2:273)

And if you are ill or on a journey or one of you comes from the place of relieving himself or you have contacted women and find no water, then seek clean earth and wipe over your faces and your hands [with it]. Indeed, Allah is ever Pardoning and Forgiving." (Quran 4:43)Surat An-Nisā' (The Women), Chapter 4, Verse 101:

Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by Allah if you doubt [their testimony, saying], "We will not exchange our oath for a price, even if he should be a near relative, and we will not withhold the testimony of Allah . Indeed, we would then be of the sinful." (Quran 5:106)
