The Train

The Train
(Part 2)


When loading our train, there are two very important points: 
*Niyyat
*Concentration/devotion.

We might be sending our goods, but without Niyyat. Then it is like we are sending lifeless bodies. Like sending a Hoor without life, or food that has gone off.

And if there is no concentration, then it is like we have made the form of the thing, but inside there is no weight. You are sending empty cartons. The actual thing; the inner qualities; are not there. If there is no concentration/devotion, then it's just quantity, the coaches are overflowing with the big boxes and cartons, but they are going empty.

So every person's train is moving all the time and every person is on the platform with everything available. He can be sending good things, he can be sending bad things, he can be letting his train go empty, or he can be sending it with goods that will be offloaded before it reaches the destination. 

So we should consider this all the time. And if we just think of this, in sha Allah we can make our time of Dunya valuable. And it is all only for one's own benefit. When we go into the Qabr, nobody else is going to benefit, we will benefit from what we have sent to our Qabr. 

Some of us have only come with 20 coaches/40 coaches. But even if  a person has one coach which he fills up properly, with the right things; and one person with 100 coaches, but sending them empty or with all scorpions and snakes, then what will happen to that person?
