Pakistani Muslims Get Award from Dubai Police
DDHK News, Dubai - A Muslim from Pakistan received an award from the Dubai police, United Arab Emirates (UAE), for his honesty in returning a large amount of money he found in an ATM machine.
Dubai police said Mohammed Alem, who returned the 50,000 UAE Dirhams (about US $ 13.612 / Rp 172.558.362) he found, was a role model of honesty for Muslims.
"I will never take money that is not mine ... I want to earn money with dignity," he said.
This honest 25-year-old man who works as a construction company supervisor handed over the money he found to Dubai police. According to police, the money belonged to a Saudi ruler who forgot to take his money when he left the ATM.
“The ruler kept Dh50,000 on the ATM machine. He forgot to bring it because he had to take money at another ATM, ”explained the police.
Dubai Police are grateful for Alem's honesty, who has two children in his native Pakistan. "Being honest is the duty of every Muslim," said the police when giving an award to Alem, who made headlines for his honesty. (mel /onislam.net/localhost/project/personal/ddhongkong.org/ddhongkong.org).*
