Believing in making ends meet by honest hard work and halal money is very rare these days. Currently, the world is full of stories which shows how cold-hearted humans have become over time. However, there still are some kind-hearted people who stay true to their conscience and think of others before them and are setting an example for the world to see.
Its a fact that a large number of Pakistanis are currently working in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia to support their families. UAE’s Dubai is majorly known for its ultramodern architecture and desert safaris, in short, its the perfect holiday destination. But a huge portion of Pakistanis working class are currently residing in the city and many families have permanently moved there too.

When asked about how he was feeling at the moment, Maqbool said, “I’m very grateful to the RTA for the honor they bestowed on me. I’ve shared the news with my family back home and on Facebook and everyone is congratulating me. My father would say make sure your income is from honest sources and Allah will honor you and give you something better than what you would have earned from dishonest sources. When I told my father what happened, he said I did the right thing and he was so proud of me. It’s such a great feeling.”
“I wasn’t sure at first if it was really gold but I said to myself, ‘leave it, even if it is so much gold, no matter how much it is worth. It is not worth more than one dirham of honest income’. So we called the authorities and later it was confirmed that it was solid gold. What I want to say to people is work hard, work honestly and never take what does not belong to you. Allah will honor you in front of everyone; that is the true reward.“, Maqbool added.
Taher Ali Maqbool belongs to the Chakri Vakilan Village situated in Punjab province of Pakistan. It is nearly 6 miles away from Gujar Khan on the road to Daultala.
