Two young engineers applied for one available position at a computer company. They both had the same qualifications. In order to determine which individual to hire, the applicants were asked to take a test by the department manager.
Upon completion of the test, both men had each missed only one of the questions. The manager went to the first applicant and said, ''Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the job to the other applicant.''
"And why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct," asked the rejected applicant.
"We have based our decision not on the correct answers, but on the question you missed," said the department manager.
"And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?" the rejected applicant inquired.
''Simple,'' said the department manager, ''For question number 5, your fellow applicant wrote, 'I don't know.' You wrote, 'Neither do I.'
When we cheat during examinations or on other occasions, we sometimes get caught out and sometimes, we don’t. However we should remember that the All-observing Allāh is always watching and we will have to account for each and every action. Rather get the answer wrong now and suffer the consequences here, than having to suffer the disgrace of the day of Qiyamah and the punishment of the hereafter. C
(Moulānā Ebrahim Muhammad
