Here's an honest to goodness GNP, unlike my previous Obama piece, which was too much tongue-in-cheek for my own good.
Yousry Desooky is no ordinary youth. Not when the 16-year old found $12,000 in a bathroom stall and decided to do the right thing.
Read the full news article here.
Funny thing is that, eventhough I'm such a pessimist, erm I mean realist, for some reason I am convinced that almost any Muslim put in this young man's shoes would have done the same.
The only scenario I can imagine in which a Muslim would actually hold on to the money would be someone down-n-out with major debts or some crazy financial crisis and s/he may see this as some sort of blessing from Allah. Of course they would still be wrong.
My point is that we Muslims have a unique trait, a firm belief in the Unseen (God, Angels, Day of Judgment), that inevitably forces us to do the right thing, especially in these types of scenarios. Once you lose that, everything is fair game, whether its keeping lost money, committing adultery, or cheating on your taxes.
Wouldn't you agree?
Thanks to ProggieMuslima for the article link!
