1800 expansion

Itotally believe that Almighty Allah is capable of changing anything promptly - praise be to Him who cannot be impeded by anything on earth or in the skies. I recall a story, although I am not sure if it is authentic or not. However, it has been going around among people, who say that in a TV interview with a rich Arab, he was asked about the size of his fortune, and the billionaire said: ‘Do you mean its size before or after you asked the question?’ Such an answer means that man’s wealth changes within seconds and never stays the same!

I remembered this story while listening to some statements about the number of casualties among our Syrian brothers, which sounded more like that Arab billionaire’s answer.

If you ask anybody about the real figures of those killed and held captive, the number will surely and drastically change. So, are those figures about the fallen true before or after the question was asked?!

Away from the Syrians’ sufferings and the Arab billionaire’s wealth, we have seen personal accounts of ordinary and economically and commercially insignificant people expand to astronomical figures.

So, did this happen after or before they started their political careers? The answer highly depends on whether those accounts multiplied before or after they assumed their positions!

Notably, the question does not only include those who had their bank accounts enlarged, but also includes all politicians who turned into real estate merchants inside and outside Kuwait. Those who always claimed owning nothing more than their salaries and things changed by 180 degrees after they started their political careers!

If you ask anybody about the real figures of those killed and held captive, the number will surely and drastically change
