وَعْيُكَ بِقَانُونِ الطَّرِيقِ نَجَاةٌ، وَالتِزَامُكَ بِهِ حَيَاةٌ :Awareness of the law of the roads is salvation, and commitment to it is life.

أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ۔

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the name of ALLAH, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

وَعْيُكَ بِقَانُونِ الطَّرِيقِ نَجَاةٌ، وَالتِزَامُكَ بِهِ حَيَاةٌ

Your awareness of the law of the roads is salvation, and your commitment to it is life.

Praise be to Allah, Who has made for us paths and roads on the earth, and facilitated for us means of transportation by which we may travel and complete our journey. We bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner, and we bear witness that our master and prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the servant of Allah and His messenger. He urged the preservation of life because it is among the most precious gifts, and he warned against neglecting lives and trusts. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, his family, his companions, and those who followed them in righteousness, to the abode of honor. This is the recited verse and its translation from Surah An Nisa:

أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فاعوذ باللہ من الشیطان الرجیم- بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ أَطِيعُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنكُمۡ‌ۖ فَإِن تَنَـٰزَعۡتُمۡ فِى شَىۡءٍ۬ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَحۡسَنُ تَأۡوِيلاً

O you who believe! Obey Allâh and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), if you believe in Allâh and in the Last Day. That is better and more suitable for final determination.

Surah An Nisa – 59

O servants of ALLAH: Fear ALLAH and Adopt piety and obey ALLAH, and know that you were not created in vain, but rather you were created for a lofty purpose and a noble goal. Our Lord, may His glory be exalted, says in Surah Al Mumenoon:

أَفَحَسِبۡتُمۡ أَنَّمَا خَلَقۡنَـٰكُمۡ عَبَثً۬ا وَأَنَّكُمۡ إِلَيۡنَا لَا تُرۡجَعُونَ (١١٥) فَتَعَـٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمَلِكُ ٱلۡحَقُّ‌ۖ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَرۡشِ ٱلۡڪَرِيمِ

"Did you think that We had created you in play (without any purpose), and that you would not be brought back to Us?" (115) So Exalted is Allâh, the True King, Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!

Surah Al Mumenoon – 115-116

So you, O people of reason, will be held accountable for how you spent your lives, and you will be responsible for how you used your bodies. And because you live in a time when ALLAH Almighty has bestowed upon you machines that have shortened long distances and eased hardship through the cars and vehicles you have, this is a blessing that deserves gratitude to the Almighty Creator, and a gift that calls for... To adhere to the etiquette of Islamic law in bringing it and traveling with it. ALLAH says in Surah Luqman

وَمَن يَشۡڪُرۡ فَإِنَّمَا يَشۡكُرُ لِنَفۡسِهِۦ‌ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ۬

and whoever gives thanks, he gives thanks for (the good of) his ownself. And whoever is unthankful, then verily, Allâh is All¬Rich (Free of all needs), Worthy of all praise.

Surah Luqman – 12-Part

The road you travel on in your cars is not an arena for displays of power, nor a field for recklessness. Rather, it is a right for all, protected by rights and etiquette. The Prophet of the nation and the guide to righteousness, peace be upon him, has clarified for us a great principle in the use of the road among people, saying, "Give the road its due." Then he explained the answer to someone who inquired about the rights of the road, saying, "And refraining from..." The harm, and what harm is greater than a deadly speed, in which one rushes to commit a wrong overtaking, or proceeds recklessly with the lives of people, so where is the saying of God Almighty regarding this, ALLAH says in Surah Al Baqara:

وَلَا تُلۡقُواْ بِأَيۡدِيكُمۡ إِلَى ٱلتَّہۡلُكَةِ‌ۛ وَأَحۡسِنُوٓاْ‌ۛ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allâh), and do good. Truly, Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn[] (the good-doers).

Surah Al Baqara – 195-Part

O you who are tempted by your own desires to drive your vehicle recklessly, or to be preoccupied with your phone while driving, showing contempt for the lives of others, do not forget that this is leading yourself and others to destruction; because it is a violation of ALLAH' command who created and fashioned you, and it is the nature of the believer to respond to ALLAH. ALLAH Almighty says in Surah Al Noor:

إِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ إِذَا دُعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَن يَقُولُواْ سَمِعۡنَا وَأَطَعۡنَا‌ۚ وَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡمُفۡلِحُونَ (٥١) وَمَن يُطِعِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ ۥ وَيَخۡشَ ٱللَّهَ وَيَتَّقۡهِ فَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَآٮِٕزُونَ

The only saying of the faithful believers, when they are called to Allâh (His Words, the Qur'ân) and His Messenger (SAW), to judge between them, is that they say: "We hear and we obey." And such are the successful (who will live forever in Paradise). (51) And whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger (SAW), fears Allâh, and keeps his duty (to Him), such are the successful.

Surah Al Noor – 51-52

O servants of ALLAH: The traffic system established by specialists aims to protect lives from dangers and preserve souls from harm. Therefore, adhering to traffic laws is a religious obligation and a duty, and it falls under the principle of entrusting matters to those who are qualified, as the Almighty, Exalted is He, says in Surah Al Noor:

وَإِذَا جَآءَهُمۡ أَمۡرٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡنِ أَوِ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ أَذَاعُواْ بِهِۦ‌ۖ وَلَوۡ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰٓ أُوْلِى ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنۡہُمۡ لَعَلِمَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَنۢبِطُونَهُ ۥ مِنۡہُمۡ‌ۗ وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡڪُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهُ ۥ لَٱتَّبَعۡتُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنَ إِلَّا قَلِيلاً۬

When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people), if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from them (directly). Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allâh upon you, you would have followed Shaitân (Satan), save a few of you.

Surah An Nisa – 83

Your commitment to stopping at a red light is a preservation of lives, your wearing of your seatbelt is a form of protection and safeguarding, leaving your phone at home while driving, and your adherence to traffic regulations are acts of self-discipline and respect for others around you. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “A Muslim is one from whose tongue and hand other Muslims are safe, and a believer is one whom people trust with their lives.” (and their wealth). And do not forget, O servants of ALLAH, to take precautions during times of stormy weather, and do not risk crossing valleys; No matter how sophisticated the car is, it is not a ship to cross the valley. So be careful, may ALLAH bless you, and protect yourself and those with you, and do not throw them into destruction, so that you live regretfully, or perish and be held accountable before ALLAH for what you have done.

Fear ALLAH, O servants of ALLAH, and abide by the traffic regulations, for therein lies safety. And if one of them causes you to become agitated on the road, then be the better of the two men. ALLAH says in Surah Al Maeda

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ لِلَّهِ شُہَدَآءَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ‌ۖ وَلَا يَجۡرِمَنَّڪُمۡ شَنَـَٔانُ قَوۡمٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعۡدِلُواْ‌ۚ ٱعۡدِلُواْ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُ لِلتَّقۡوَىٰ‌ۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ‌ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allâh as just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what you do.

Surah Al Maeda – 8

أقولُ مَا تَسْمَعُونَ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ العَظِيمَ لِي وَلَكُمْ، فَاسْتَغْفِرُوهُ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ، إِنَّهُ هُوَ الغَفُورُالرَّحِيمُ، وَادْعُوهُ يَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ، إِنَّهُ هُوَ البَرُّ الكَرِيمُ

I say what you hear, and I ask forgiveness from ALLAH Almighty for me and for you, so ask forgiveness from Him and He will forgive you, for He is the Forgiving and Merciful, and pray to Him and He will answer you, for He is The noble righteousness

الحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذا، وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلاةً وَسَلامًا دَائِمَيْنِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَأَتْبَاعِهِ المُقْتَفِينَ آثَارَهُ وَخُطَاهُ.

All praise is due to Allah, Who guided us to this, and we would not have been guided had Allah not guided us. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the Messenger of Allah, may peace and blessings be upon him and his family, his companions, and those who follow his example and footsteps.

O servants of ALLAH, there come traffic-related events that remind people of the importance of maintaining order on the roads. The images of accidents and tragedies that people witness, and the pain they leave behind—followed by orphanhood, bereavement, or disabilities—demand that the wise take a firm stand with themselves. Through reflection and careful consideration, this becomes clear. The best effect, and lives and souls are protected from harm. And Allâh, may His glory be exalted, says in Surah Al Hajj regarding those who neglect contemplation and reflection:

أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمۡ قُلُوبٌ۬ يَعۡقِلُونَ بِہَآ أَوۡ ءَاذَانٌ۬ يَسۡمَعُونَ بِہَا‌ۖ فَإِنَّہَا لَا تَعۡمَى ٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرُ وَلَـٰكِن تَعۡمَى ٱلۡقُلُوبُ ٱلَّتِى فِى ٱلصُّدُورِ

Have they not travelled through the land, and have they hearts wherewith to understand and ears wherewith to hear? Verily, it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow blind.

Surah Al Hajj – 46

The car is a blessing, and part of thanking ALLAH Almighty for it is for a person to use it in ways that benefit him. If he drives it, he will be accompanied by patience and composure, and these are two qualities beloved to the Creator of the universe. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said to one of his companions: “You have two qualities that ALLAH loves: patience and composure.” The wise person should know that the difference between safety and its opposite is a moment of thought. The wise person is the one who restrains himself from a fit of anger in his street and on roads, and avoids the detestable haste in his path. Remembering that behind him were families who longed for him, and ahead of him were souls on the road whose owners had no fault in his recklessness, he invoked the meaning of patience that ALLAH loves, and he departed from the reprehensible haste that is from the trickery and instigation of Satan, for in the Hadith it is said: ((Deliberation is from ALLAH, and haste is from Satan)).

Fear ALLAH, O servants of ALLAH, and let us make adherence to traffic laws a culture and a way of life. Let us be role models for our children who observe our driving. Let us take precautions for our safety by inspecting and maintaining our vehicles, for that is part of trusting in ALLAH. Let us be gentle in our driving, for it is authentically reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that he said: “Be gentle, for indeed…” Kindness is not found in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it disgraces it. And whoever is kind to people, ALLAH will be kind to him.
