Bayan Mubarak A platform bustling with people. Several trains, each headed to a different destination. The question is: which is the right train, which is your train? Aqa Maula (TUS) picturized this vivid scene during waaz mubarak to explain a mumin’s journey. The platform is a metaphor for this world; from this platform one and only one train is headed towards heaven. |

The urs of Syedna Abdullah Badruddin (RA), the 50th Dai al Mutlaq, falls on the
10th of Rabi-ul-Awwal. As signified by his laqab,
he was the badr, the full moon that illuminated the path of hidayat
