LABAIK is a novel based on Mumtaz Mufti pilgrimage, he went with Qudrat-ullah-Shahab and his wife Dr. Iffat.
The main purpose to writing this novel was to give an understanding that think who Allah is?? When you visit his home, than think that you are a guest here, and talk to Allah like you are talking to your friend and you are at your friend's home. Dont think that you are at a dry cleaner's shop to wash your sins, or you are at a book office to book a plot at paradise. Come to Allah's home for Allah's sake.
Talk to Allah as you are talking to your friend. Here is a point for elders as well, when they try to give negative image of Allah to their children, when kid is not finishing his meal mom says finish it otheriwse God will be angry, he will throw you in hell. At this point i remember an ideal example from Ashfaq Ahmed
" A baby elephant is brought to zoo and is chained, now he tries to break the chain to run away but as he is a baby he can't do it, still he tries again and again and finally he gets a result that this chain is so strong that i can't break it, he grows up with this result and never tries again, but in reality when he grows up he is so strong that he can break that chain in one attempt."
So; cominng to the point, many children grows up with negative image of Allah, that he gets angry on everything and he has a hell where he used to throw people. and as a result they never try to get close to Allah as they are afraid of him.
But if you read ALI PUR KA AILLE there is a heart touching line
Ailee : Do you know Allah
Old man : Little bit
Ailee: How is he?
Old man : He is very sweet
Ailee: I think he is extremly strict
Old man: (laughing) than how we are so disobedient, if he so strict
So; in Labaik he is trying to tell us that get close to Allah, like he is your friend, and dont think he is living in only four walls of Kaaba, when people were leaving they were crying like they are leaving everything here and are going empty hands and Mumtaz Mufti was thinking that why they don't think that when they were coming here Allah was with them, when they are leaving, Allah is with them, Allah is not bound in these four walls.
Other main point is that believe that Allah loves you and he always do what is better for you. believe what he do is better and what he does not do is his HIKMAT.
When Mumtaz Mufti was coming to perform pilgrimage many reletives asked him that pray fo my this problem etc; so he wrote all those prayers in a diary and brought that diary along him.
when he told Qudrat-Ullah-Shahab about that diary. Qudrat said "Be careful, it is a place where all of prayers get approved" Mumtaz Mufti Laughed and said "What is matter of being careful?"
Qudrat said " There was director of a ministry he was suffering from fever he got treatment from best doctors but couldn't get rid of fever, in the end he went to a reletive who was coming to pilgrimage and asked to pray for him in this place, and from his prayer he got rid of fever, but after 1 year he got a problem with his neck and shoulder bones, he gain went to doctor and doctor said The only cure for this is that you get a fever for few days, and now he is not getting fever, because prayer words were oh God he is in such pain please give him rid from this terrible fever and he never gets fever again." so becareful of your prayer words here.
The most beautiful image of his writing in Labaik was that Allah is sitting on roof of Kaaba and watching all of people and he is sad when he relaizes some of them are here to wash their sins, some are here to get booking of plot in paradise and Allah while sitting on roof is thinking no one here comes to meet me, and Mumtaz Mufti gets close to kaaba and says hey; look here i am here only for you.
Other main point is how materialistic we are that no place can change us. when people land on Saudi Arab they all are worried for their luggage,. no one has a feeling that we are standing on some holy land.
Than when Mumtaz looked in their markets he was surprised that people are busy in shopping and no one is realizing that KAABA is waiting for them...........
When he asked about this matter from Qudrat, his reply is a classic reply
"Remember where there is chances of becoming pure, there is more evil; this is a holy land, every one has a dream to come here, that is why evil is more here, you can say it is a land where it is fight of evil and chances to become pure" and Mumtaz Mufti looked up and he got an imagination that Iblees is sitting up on the market and laughing on his success".
The remaining novel shows personality of Qudrat Ullah Shahab, which i will discuss when i will start ALLAHK NAGRI, because it tells us how Qudrat and Mumtaz met.
