Peace be upon all who truly are seeking guidance to the right path
Imagine.....You wake up one day to find yourself all of sudden in a compartment in a fast moving train. You have absolutely no idea how you got in there and absolutely no clue where the train is going to. As you move across the compartments you find a variety of people in the train. At regular stops a number of people are being forcibly thrown away from the train and you have no idea what their fate is. What would be your reaction to such a scenario ? How much would be your restlessness and anguish in finding out what is happening and making sure you reach a safe destination ? How many people you might go and ask what is happening and where are we all going and what is happening to those being thrown out of the train ?
We are all brought into this earth with no effort of ours and it was no choice of ours. And again we see people moving out of this earth with it being no choice of theirs. Such is going to be our fate as well. We are all like passengers who have woken up in a fast moving train and have no idea of its origin or destination. Should we move around the train in vain and be amused by it and hang around and party there or find out where I am and where I am going to ?
Just reflect the scenario of our birth. We intelligent beings moving around, talking and doing complex things were merely just a drop of sperm at a time. How humble was our beginning ! Then we gradually grew in stages in the safe resting place of our mother's wombs and came out one day when we were ready to come to this earth. The we were blessed with a loving mom and dad to take care of all our needs and nourish us and we grew up from a babe who knew nothing to intelligent productive people. Is all this setup a mere random chance ? Do we not see there exists a Creator, The Most Merciful who through his infinite grace and wisdom arranged all these things ? Who put in immeasurable love in the mother's heart towards her baby...or else would any woman put in so much pain to give birth and take care of a baby for no worldly benefit of hers (but rather to the detriment of her materialistic gains) ?
