A
Jew lost his invaluable ring and accidentally a poor Muslim man found
it. When this Muslim came to know that it belonged to the Jew he went to
return it to him. The Jew smiled and asked him: “Do you know its
value?”
The Muslim replied: “Yes.”
“You found this and you are also poor and needy!” said the Jew.
“Yes you are right.” The Muslim replied.
The Jew asked “Did it not come to your mind that by selling this ring
you can live a comfortable life as you had an excuse that it belonged to
a Jew?”
The Muslim asked him, “Why should I have thought that way?”
The Jew continued to ask, “Why did you return this ring to me when I was not knowing that you had found it?”
The poor Muslim replied: "We believe in the Day of Judgement. I told
myself that if I do not give this ring to the owner, then during the
accounting of the deeds of the people on the Day of Judgement my Prophet
Muhammad (SAWS) and your Prophet Moosa (AS) would be sitting together
and you will be complaining about this to your Prophet Moosa (AS) and
then your Prophet Moosa (AS) would complain to my Prophet Muhammad
(SAWS) that a person from your Ummah has done such an act. And at that
movement my Prophet Muhammad (SAWS) would not be able to answer. I have
returned this ring so that on the Day of Judgement, My Prophet Muhammad
(SAWS) will not put in an awkward situation.”
Moral: Think like a MUSLIM, act like a MUSLIM and love ALLAH and RASULULLAH (SAW) like a true MUSLIM. Fear Allah wherever you are. Allah says in the Quran:
“And whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out [of every difficulty].
And
He provides for him from sources he never could imagine. And if anyone
puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is Allah for him. For Allah will
surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah
appointed a due proportion.”
[At-Talaaq 65:2-3]
Abu Zar Ghaffari reports that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w said:
"Fear
Allah wherever you are; if you follow an evil deed with a good one you
will obliterate it; and deal with people with a good disposition."
[Tirmidhi, Hadith no. 5083]

Joannes Lukas status who is a revert like me (and InshaAllah, you too) and actively inviting Not Yet Muslim back to Islam. His hard work and dedication to dakwah inspire me a lot. May Allah bless him and all of us.
Umat Nabi Muhammad ialah umat (semua manusia) yang ada semasa zaman nabi dan selepas baginda wafat. Manakala umat Nabi Musa adalah umat sezaman dengannya kerana selepas Nabi Musa ada pula Nabi lain selepasnya. Maka Yahudi dalam cerita anda diatas adalah umat Nabi Muhammad juga.
