335 The law of Deposit implies great trust in the Depositary on the part of the Depositor. The Depositary becomes a
trustee, and the doctrine of Trust can be further developed on that basis. The trustee's duty is to guard the interests
of the person on whose behalf he holds the trust and to render back the property and accounts when required
according to the terms of the trust. This duty again is linked to the sanction of Religion, which requires a higher
standard than Law. (2.283)
336 It sometimes happens that if some inconvenient piece of evidence is destroyed or concealed, we gain a great
advantage materially. We are warned not to yield to such a temptation. The concealment of evidence has a serious
effect on our own moral and spiritual life, for it taints the very source of higher life, as typified by the heart. The heart
isalso the seat of our secrets. We are told that the sin will reach our most secret being, though
the sin may not be visible or open to the world. Further, the heart is in the seat of our affections, and false dealing taints all our
affections. (2.283)

Supplications for a Journey
It is preferred for a traveller to say when leaving home, "Bismillahi tawakaltu 'alallah wa la haula wala
quwwata illa billah, Allahumma inni audhu bika an adilla au udalla au azilla au uzalla au azlima au uzlama

nor any might except with Allah. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from leading others astray or being led
astray, causing others to slip or being caused to slip by others, or doing wrong or be wronged by others, or
behaving foolishly or being treated foolishly by others)." The traveller may choose whatever he wants
from the supplications reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him. Some of these supplications are

The distance one must travel before shortening one's prayer
The conclusion from the Qur'anic verse is that any traveling, be it long or short, which falls within the
linguistic definition of the word "travel" would suffice to shorten one's salah, to combine them and to
break the fast.
'The Messenger of Allah would pray two rak'at if he had traveled a distance of three miles or
farsakh.
One farsakh is equivalent to 5,541 meters while one mile equals 1,748 meters.
