omdat de laatste tijd toch al in de "mode" is om "mijn geloof" te bekijken/bekriteseren van allerlei kanten hier een waargebeurd verhaal........take yuh time to read it
Price of Imaan
Several years ago an imaam moved to London. He often took the bus from
his home to the downtown area. Some weeks after he arrived, he had
occasion to
ride the same bus. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had
accidentally given him twenty pence too much change.As he considered
what to
do, he thought to himself, you better give the twenty pence back. It
would
be wrong to keep it. Then he thought, oh forget it, it's only twenty
pence.
Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company
already
gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from
Almighty Allah and keep quite. When his stop came, the Imaam paused
momentarily at the door, then he handed the twenty pence back to the
driver
and said " Here, you gave me too much change."
The driver with a smile replied " Aren't you the new Imaam in this
area? I have been thinking lately about going to worship at your
mosque. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much
change." When the
Imaam stepped off the bus, his knees became weak and soft. He had to
grab the nearest light pole and held for support, and looked up to the
heavens
and cried "Oh Allah, I almost sold Islam for twenty pence!" Remember,
we
may never see the impact our actions have on people. Sometimes we are
the
only knowledge of Quran someone will read, or the only Islam a
non-Muslim
will see. What we need to provide, Insha Allah is an example for others
to
see. Be careful and be honest everyday, because you never know who is
watching your actions and judging you as a Muslim.
bless up
