Read the story carefully then answer the questions that follow
Once there was a Muslim man who owned a store of clothes. The man was honest and sincere
especially in his work. He recommended his employees to work honestly and never sell a blemished
dress to anyone. One day, the honest man wasn’t in the store. A Jew got into the store to buy a dress.
When the employees saw him, they recognized he was a Jew. They agreed to sell him the blemished
dress because he was a Jew and they don’t care about him. Finally, the Jew bought the dress and
went away, when the honest man came to his store in the evening, he noticed that the blemished
dress is not there. He was astonished when he asked his employees about it and they told him that
they sold it to a Jew.
The man got very angry and blamed the employees for their corruption. He immediately
followed up the Jew to give him back his money. After three days of long search he finally found him.
He gave him his money back and apologized for selling him a blemished dress. The Jaw was amazed
by the man’s behavior. He was curious about what push him to do so. The man said that it was Islam
and the teaching of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him ‘’he who cheats us is not one of us’’.
The Jew confessed that he gave them fake money in turn. In the end, the Jew gave the man genuine
money and converted to Islam.
