On Journeys

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. Each man chooses his destination and plans his journey accordingly. Mumineen aboard the train of Dawat will surely make it to heaven!

On a more scientific note, Aqa Maulq (TUS) explained a mumin's journey as a metaphor of birth: a human can only be born if he spends nine months in his mother's womb; anyone who claims to be born without having been nurtured in the womb is ignorant. Similarly one cannot hope to enter heaven without entering the womb of Dawat. A human in the embryonic stage is a potential human being: Dawat is a potential heaven.
