Going on a hike? How to be ready for it with Faizan

Fall season, as well as Spring, are the greatest times of the year to go on a hike! And hiking should be fun experience for all.

In my interview with Faizan, we discussed how hiking can be helpful for our health as well as can be added to our fitness journeys. 

Faizan is an outdoors enthusiast who has been creating opportunities for people to explore nature and learn outdoor skills. He is an outings leader with the Sierra Club, national environmental advocacy and outdoors organization and recently founded Outdoor Muslims, a local organization in the DC area with the goal of creating a community of Muslims and allies who enjoy exploring the outdoors together.

In this interview, we covered the following topics:

• How nature therapy is important for our health.
• How Outdoor Muslims got started and why.
• How Islam and sunnah promote nature therapy.
• What to know and prepare in advance before going on a hike or camping trip.
• The best times/seasons of the year for a hike

And much more!
