Curiosity about the unknown and unfamiliar has always driven mankind towards unexplored destinations resulting in unexpected discoveries, both in the world and the self. Emad Ahmad has shown a particular interest in the significance of travelling in wilderness for individuals. This interest is majorly driven by the years he has spent in navigating through the journey of his inner self.

Emad Ahmad is a strong believer of the fact that when a person travels down his inner self, he gets to embrace a whole new perspective to understand things. He emphasizes that travelling to and staying in natural environments help people develop a rather stronger connection with God. This is because he believes that such an intricate relationship between the Creator and the creature shall be experienced in the state of seclusion. Through his teachings, he refers to the unavoidable clutches of the society we live in and how these clutches have the potential to alter the perspectives and mindsets of individuals. Considering this fact, Emad explains the essence of disconnecting from the grip of this society and getting connecting to the Creator by travelling in wilderness.

Through his idea of ‘wilderness’ Emad Ahmad particularly believes in travelling to or living in mountainous areas because of their ability to connect people to God. His belief of travelling in such areas is also strengthened by how prophets disconnected themselves from the material realities in order to embrace the magnificence of their relationship with the Almighty. Emad’s interest in living amidst mountains is well explained by the example of Musa (A.S), whose journey to mountains paved his way to the pinnacle of his spiritual experience. Taking guidance from this very idea, Emad Ahmad asserts that a close connection with nature helps individuals connect with God, which sows the seeds of transformation in their hearts.

Considering his literary contributions, it is evident that Emad Ahmad emphasizes on perceiving things the way they are, instead of how they seemingly appear to the external eye. He believes that the societal demons inhibit individuals to dissect the underlying layers of a reality. People fail to analyze the true meaning of a reality and merely believe what their external eye comprehends. He further extends that when an individual travels to wilderness and detaches himself from the material realities of the world, he gets to digress the hidden meaning of a matter. The awakened internal eye facilitates in understanding the purpose of one’s existence, which induces the traces of change among people. One who sees the reality unfold in its natural setting gets to know the true meaning of life. Wilderness and solitude open up many hidden mysteries, both tangible and spiritual. This path takes people to a spiritual journey, where they comprehend the actual meanings of their life events, thereby finding them more connected to God.

Apart from that, Emad Ahmad has also explained that it is the external journey to wilderness that drives the people to traverse through the internal journey. The essence of this very idea is evident in his literary ensembles too, where he emphasizes how living in a natural environment helps people understand their inner selves. According to Emad, disconnection with the external material events helps people connect with themselves. It is only when a person travels down his inner self that he courageously confronts the demons of self. Such a precarious journey stimulates an individual to embrace a transformed existence. Having the vision to establish a revolutionized collective existence, Emad Ahmad has shown a deep interest in travelling to wilderness, because he believes that individual transformation can contribute to achieving his vision too.
