"Oh Allah, I almost sold Islam for twenty pence!"


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?
