The journey of Muslim civilization is like a train. They are moving together towards one goal: enforcing the word of monotheism throughout the world. History proves this, the Prophet Muhammad SAW led the entire Arabian Peninsula, Khulafaur Rashidin’s leadership expanded it to the Roman and African regions, the Ummayah Caliphate expanded its territory to Spanish Andalusia, the Abbasid and Ottoman Caliphates increasingly reached the world, including Indonesia.

However, at the end of the Ottoman Caliphate, Western thought entered and polluted Muslim understanding, one of which was the concept of the Nation State. As a result, the leadership of Muslims, which was initially united by Islamic Aqidah, was then divided by Nationalism.

This situation, in this painting, is depicted by a train, each carriage of which contains mosques from various eras of Islamic civilization. At the starting point is the Kaaba. However, the trains are now separated between the carriages by brick walls produced by the West.
