Syrian Refugee Finds $55,000, Returns It Because 'I Am A Muslim'
Huffington Post ^ | June 30, 2016 | Hilary Hanson

When a 25-year-old Syrian refugee living in Germany got a wardrobe from a charity group, he had no idea how valuable the contents would turn out to be.

When the man, identified only as “Muhannad M.” by German news outlets, brought the piece of furniture home to his apartment in the city of Minden, he discovered it contained 50,000 euros — about $55,000 — in cash. It also held bankbooks, which included information that gave him access to accounts holding about 100,000 euros, according to a Minden Police press release.

he money would have enabled Muhannad — who has been in the country since October — to pay for his two brothers to join him in Germany, NPR reports. But he nevertheless contacted immigration officers to turn the money in.

“I am a Muslim,” he said, according to The Local’s translation of German newspaper Bild. “I’m not allowed to keep this money. My religion forbids it. Allah would never allow me to finance my own interests with someone else’s wealth.”

Police called Muhannad a “hero” in the press release, saying his behavior was “exemplary.”

He will get a reward of 3 percent of the money, according to The Local.

Surprised it took as many posts as it did to point out the irony that you noticed.

Dunno, maybe this other stuff is viewed as “gifts.”

But I agree with the comment that this wardrobe sure seems an odd place for something like that to be either lost in, or go unnoticed to a charity in.

Yeah - I thought it was a setup as soon as I read it too. They had to try and counter the extra bloody ramadan “celebrations” of this past week.

Wonder if some followup would find that it belonged to another Moose.

It was likely just a very short-term loan from the German bank.

He prabaly thought it was for rolling cigarettes, and originally complained about not having free tobacco/hashish.

I am NOT a Muslim and I was taught at a very young age not to take what wasn’t mine

This “charity group” needs investigating. Unfortunately, I can’t find the name.

“My religion forbids it”

Deuteronomy 22:1-3 If you see your fellow Israelite’s ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to its owner. If they do not live near you or if you do not know who owns it, take it home with you and keep it until they come looking for it. Then give it back. Do the same if you find their donkey or cloak or anything else they have lost. Do not ignore it.

A Priest, a Vicar, and a Rabbi were discussing what they do with collection money.

The Priest says: “I draw a square on the ground, throw the money in the air, and what lands in the square i give to God and keep the rest”.

The Vicar says: “Oh! I draw a circle on the ground, through the money in the air, and what lands OUTSIDE the circle I give to God and keep the rest.

The Rabbi looks at them both as if they are crazy and says: “Well...I just throw it all in the air and presume he keeps what he needs”.
