Re: light a candle in memory of victims or Ruju’ ilal-Allah ?
I think we have no choice but to follow the prescribed method for repentance.
by doing the dua and having khatms we show our own people that we are with them
by lighting candles we show the world that Pakistanis around the world stand together at a time of grief.
both are necessary.
another question just came to mind…
what about laying flowers on a grave…what is the background on that?
