"Keeping one's promises" is the central theme of "The Story of 1000 Dinars." Taking Allaah as a witness and a guarantor to obtain a loan, a man resorts to a very unusual method in order to fulfill his promise and repay his debt when it is due. His honesty and dependence on Allaah pays off for him. "The Man and the Gold" - Finding treaures has always been a dream for many people. And when it is found, it always tends to bring about the worst in us. In this story, a man finds gold in a piece of land he just bought. He is confronted with the question of whether to keep it or return it to the man from whom he bought the land. He reacts in a way that is fast becoming rare. No doubt, many lessons are to be learnt from this story.
