"Life is like paper. Once crumbled it can never be flattened again. Make sure not to turn your life into a crumbled one,” said the preacher. I felt this was the last nail in the coffin for the lost souls who came into the mosque seeking hope and redemption. I felt the bright surroundings getting covered in the darkness of hopelessness. “But still beautiful quotes can be written on it,” said someone from the crowd. I don't know who said it, but it brought a ray of light and hope, and it even put a smile on the preacher's face.
