One time during the Khalif of Ahmadi Allah, there was a thief

00:00:05 --> 00:00:09

who stole. Now I want you to know that during the time of Ahmadi,

00:00:09 --> 00:00:16

was very concerned about punishing a thief if the thief was stealing

00:00:17 --> 00:00:23

out because of lack of money in the like because of poverty or

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

because of not enough money in the economy. So for a period of time,

00:00:27 --> 00:00:33

Ahmed ilahoan actually suspended the had suspended the the most

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

serious punishment for for thievery.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

But in this case, he came before Ahmad alahaan, and he asked him,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

Why did you steal? Why did you steal? I love that question, so

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

compassionate. Why did you steal?

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53

And you know what the thief said? Allah willed it.

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

Allah doesn't will that we sin against Him. Allah doesn't will

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

that we sink down into pettiness. Allah doesn't will

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

that we become

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

of those who are

00:01:14 --> 00:01:19

evil. He wants us to choose to be of the people of truthfulness, not

00:01:19 --> 00:01:19

falsehood.
