| [slm], I am thinking of writing an essay titled "Destination Paradise". I am imagining we are at a train station and there is this train whose destination is "paradise". I have all kinds of ideas about this train, but I think it would be a lot of fun if you could suggest some ideas of your own. For example, I imagine there are very few passengers in this train. The train is very very slow, and there is no entertainment. Desert and barren ground to see when you look out the window. The train keeps climbing steep hills. ETC. Hope you can chip in some suggestions. Jazak Allah Khair! :) |

| [slm] I've already read it, sayid nursi wrote something along those lines. As well as something about a house. Hope that helps, Salaam, |

| [slm], I don't know anything about it. So I don't know how it can help. How about ideas for "Destination Hell"? |

| [slm] You should look it up. I think I am spelling the name right it is Sayeed Nursi and he wrote about a train, but I think his went through both hell and Jannah so maybe it is a little different, but it is very much the same premise. I dont know what book of his it is in, he seems to have written quite a bit, and I was not at home and it was not my book I was reading from. But is was like from this huge collection of his works, I forget howmany volumes. But around here there are groups that get togeater to read his books so maybe you can find something like that where you live and ask. There are also websites and he wrote poetry too, just type his name into a search. A lot of people read his books and so the same ideas get around and even if you dont know you might be peicing togeather form these stories you might read it and see how your story is different from the one he wrote. If you find that one you should also read the ne about the dream about the house, I liked that one a lot because it showed the difference between a good community and a bad one, and in the good one everyone had their job to do and they were doing it. Well thats just me, Salaam, |
