Once upon a time, there was a warrior whose pockets were filled with the spoils of war. This warrior, seeking paradise in his land, was wounded one day during battle. During his days in the hospital, the pain of his wounds made him question the meaning of life. War had not only left him with scars but had also taken the lives of thousands of innocent people. Every moment he thought of himself, he began to visualize the face of his beloved family in his mind. In his thoughts: 'How foolish it is to try to seek paradise in this world.' echoed. At the same time, he realized that one must wait for paradise to reach the heart of the soul. One day, while he was in the hospital, a dervish came to him. The dervish beautifully explained to him the relationship between life and the hereafter. At that moment, the warrior decided to change his life: He would no longer chase after spoils; he would strive to bring love and peace to people. From that day on, his life transformed into a blessed purpose.
