Plot
Yaqeen Ka Safar starts with three stories.
Zubia Khalil is a young girl mourning her mother's sudden death at the hands of her physically violent father. Zubia needed to visit a friend's house to borrow important lecture notes and insisted her mother accompany her, despite her father forbidding her mother to leave the house alone. When Khalil discovered Zubia's mother disobeyed him, he slapped her so hard she fell and ended up hitting the corner of her bed, dying instantly. Zubia's aunt Mahjabeen Khala consoles the devastated Zubia and tells her the truth. But Khalil threatens her and the whole family to stay silent regarding the cause of the mother's death.
The second story involves a family in Islamabad celebrating their son Daniyal's wedding to his cousin Gaiti Ara. Daniyal is a young lawyer who has recently graduated from London and is extremely fearless, confident, brave and honest. Asfandyar is Daniyal's younger brother, who will soon leave for Karachi to complete his medical studies after his brother's wedding. He is a lively person and quite ambitious as well. The family maintains a significant reputation in the community as Usman, Daniyal and Asfandyar's father, is a successful lawyer, too. Asfandyar is engaged to his other cousin Faryal, the only daughter of Usman's brother, Rizwan.
The third storyline involves Noori, a young girl living in a rural village of Sindh (Rab Nawaz.) who is gang-raped by a minister's son, Jahangir Shah, along with two of his friends. The police ask Noori about the incident and ask her quite inappropriate questions. Noori's younger brother stands up for her, but her parents remain silent because of their poverty. The police threaten Noori's father. Their family is insulted in the village, so Noori leaves her home. She is then found by and taken to Karachi by Rumana, an NGO lady in Karachi. Rumana informs Daniyal about the Noori gang rape incident.
On the other hand, a lonely Zubia starts dating her stalker named Rameez. Her sister-in-law Sheema overhears Zubia talking to Rameez and starts plotting against her so that she can take her revenge on her father-in-law Khalil, as he insulted her parents, who support love marriage. Rameez convinces Zubia to marry him secretly so their families will accept their love. When Zubia goes to his house, she discovers his true intentions as he tries to abuse her. She instantly runs out of his flat and crashes into Asfandyar, who saves her. Sheema shows Zubia's conversation with Rameez to Rehan and Khalil, thus succeeding. Rehan starts hating Zubia for ruining the family's reputation. Khalil realises that because of his sins, Allah has punished his daughter and regrets everything. When Zubia asks for forgiveness, he forgives her.
Daniyal travels to Karachi, meets Noori, and decides to file a case against Jahangir Shah and his friends. Daniyal starts receiving threats and is jailed based on the false accusations that he raped his secretary, Urooj Nisar, who was secretly working for Jahangir Shah. He gets bail the next day, and his family tries to force him to close the case, but to no avail. Some days later, while Daniyal is in his office, he is shot by Jahangir Shah's people, who had also killed one of his loyal friends, who had been helping him throughout the case. These people also destroyed all the proof Daniyal had collected to present in court and typed up a note, supposedly from Daniyal himself, stating that Daniyal was too scared to deal with this case anymore and was leaving everyone forever. It leaves people thinking that he gave up and committed suicide. The family receives this news the next morning and is in extreme pain. Noori's agony intensifies, and she secretly takes a gun from the security guard. She then attends Jahangir Shah's conference and kills her rapists.
