Good Egyptians...!!!
Salaams,
SubhanaAllah, its stories like the below that still gives one hope...
I was reading in the newspaper yesterday (English newspaper...my Arabic aint that good yet..) about a guy (Ahmed i think) who works for the Waqf Department (where all the Sadaqa money is collected and distributed) and how he had received a bribe offer for 7 million Egyptian pounds (700,000 English pounds) to falsify some documents so some guys could steal 480 acres of land which had been donated, but he refused the bribe.
The above in of itself is a great thing, but what makes Ahmeds refusal even more praiseworthy is that he is on a salary of 200 Egyptian pounds a month (20quid)...even though he's a graduate in Law and works in the civil service he gets this absolutely derisory figure (even the street cleaners get more i'm told) but yet he still refused to take the bribe which was equivalent to his next 3000 years worth of salaries...!!!!!! On top of this he has a wife and two kids but he still flatly refused..
When asked why he refused to take the bribe, he simply stated it would be against his religion.
SubhanAllah, SubhanAllah,, SubhanAllah...!!!
If the crooks were willing to give a bribe of 7m, one has to imagine what the land was worth...and the governments response...? a one off 1000 pound bonus...
May Allah give us all the strength and resolve to fight off the temptations of Shaytaan, in whatever form they come
Salaam
