We have heard of a few people caught in the act, of corruption. Some Muslim names, inclusive. Farouq Lawan comes to mind, So does Babalakin.

It is no doubt that corruption is a sin. While finding a way out, many people fall into deeper sins. Here is a list of what I think a Muslim who has engaged in the act, caught or yet to be, should do in order to earn the forgiveness of Allah.

1. Return the stolen money, goods, e.t.c

2. Ask the people for forgiveness. They could be the generality of Nigerians, the people in your state, locality. Simply, the people whose money you embezzled.

3.Ask God to forgive you.- this you must do.in sincerity.

4. Serve your sentence- this is very important. Many try even corrupt means to evade their sentencing, thereby accumulating more sins. Never forget that the punishment of Allah is graver, more severe. With you allowing the law to take its course, the likelihood of God forgiving you is even higher. A person who is yet to be caught doesn't have to present himself for sentencing.

5. Do not go back to it Have it in mind that corruption is sin, the type to run away from and to never get back to.

6. Believe in God's favour and the concept of forgiveness.

They dont have to be caught before they restitute. That is the term christians use for this.

They should first see that what they did or are doing is a sin, and desire to change from it

Gboliwe: They dont have to be caught before they restitute. That is the term christians use for this.

I didn't say they have to be caught. This is to everyone who has engaged in the act.

Personally, it shouldn't even be gotten in the first place. Am very conscious of my source(s) of income; even (in)formal riba.

Funny, there are some other ways that are ill-gotten that we are seduced into it. One I remember is online football predicition games - though harmless, there are subtle ways one can be 'enticed' to earn income illegally.

The sources are broad, you could do well to expand them

smh

Hide it in Swiss bank!

ok.. nice.. christians and muslims, share d same perseptive in dis one

The first thing to have in mind as a muslim is to put the fear of ALLAH(SWT) in all that we do no matter who you are because nobody knows where HE/SHE will be managing tomorrow.

hey say mateh!!, hope you would not ban me for posting the above about politicians? Cos governance is also a religion!!!

Op, are you serious or you are joking?

Most people do not follow the easy part. Even when they know that they may not end well. They ll find it difficult to repent from their bad acts till karma catch up with them.

Donate to TeHn (Nairaland charity)...it could help save lives.

Like someone said, it should be avoided by all means.

You are right. Riba is a broad subject on its own. Gambling is another way of earning the wrong way. Eating from an orphan's inheritance the wrong way too.

So-brit:

You can skip the refund part and keep to the rest. If it involves continual visit to the ritualist or the use of incantations, those can henceforth be stopped.

The attitude of stealing a large sum and then paying a little in charity should be discouraged. The need for such charities would not come up in the first place if no one steals from the national coffers.

Criminals are only sorry because they get caught. They would continue in their criminal ways till eternity if they don't get found out.

Don't even try it at all!
