Subject: WHEN CANDLES COST MORE THAN THE CAKE
Dear Sultan Qureshi
There was an old man of 80 years celebrating his birthday with 80 candles on the cake. He said: “I am at an age when the candles cost more than the cake”.
Dear Sultan, at my age, my candles already cost more than the cake.
You are young today, but very soon the cost of your candles also will exceed the cost of the cake.
Before your candles become costlier than the cake, and the issue of grave becomes a grave issue, please insist on thinking truth, speaking truth, writing truth, facing truth and embracing the truth.
May Allah help you in your journey toward truth.
