how to deal with this situation?

Assalaamu alaikum,

May Allaah help you in your situation, akhee.

I'm not sure if you wrote the sentence correctly, but it is not appropriate for a Muslim to ask Allaah "why did this happen to me?"

As Muslims, we are supposed to be patient with the unpleasant things that happen to us from time to time. Allaah is All-Wise, and everything that He does is perfect. We, with our limited sense of perception, will not be able to realize the wisdom behind every event, but we know what Allaah decrees is just.

And in any case, the believer is actually rewarded for any distress he or she goes through, provided that believer is patient...

As mentioned in the authentic hadeeth:

Suhaib reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer. If he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him in it."

(Sahih Muslim: The Book of Abstinence and Heart-Melting Narrations)

Salam for you. If we have only one witness of a thief we can add the evidence with the money or goods which has been stolen and another evidence such the broken wallet or door,cctv,finger print etc.We could ask for police investigation although the thief is a non believer.The police could make an interrogation which will force the thief to recognize his stealing..although he denies that he did not commit the crime.

Depends upon what person stole, how and what options you have. Is it appropriate to get the police involved? The person's parents (if it's a child)? Can you reason with the person and influence the person's morality? Or do you need to write off the loss and learn lessons to be more cautious with people? Are you absolutely sure it was that person who stole from you? Sometimes we have mistaken identity or suspects.

I've had people steal things from me and each case is different how to handle it. Some I can only suspect so I have not said anything and sometimes I know I'm right, but some other times the suspect I thought wasn't the right one or I actually find later what I thought was stolen.

What a horrid situation! It is really sad to know that so many people still think like this. Did the parents know that you are wiccan before she came to work there, or is your religion common knowledge at work? I am just shocked that she would be allowed to work with an "evil devil worshiper". If her parents are so brainwashed to tell their child that you are going to hex, or poison her I dont understand their letting her be in any contact with you. I really feel sorry for the girl in all this. She must be terrified of you! My suggestion is to simply leave things alone. Continue to act as you normally would if she were anyone else. Be nice, speak to her as you would any other co-worker. Perhaps she will see that you are not the demon her parents paint you to be. But if you try to talk to her about it, I am sure it will cause trouble. Thats a sure way for her to say that you are trying to "possess" her or some other nonsense. Bright Blessings

"The Shariah obligation is to return the money to its owners. Wherever possible, the actual money has to be returned to them. However, when, after concerted effort, one is simply unable to find the person, then one is religiously obliged to give the amount in charity (sadaqa), but ONLY with the intention of giving the reward to it owners and to clear one's due, NOT for personal reward. This way, even though one was not able to get the actual money to its owners, one tried to get its benefit to them through the charity. This is only allowed, however, if one cannot find the person the money is owed to. [Mentioned by Ibn Abidin in his Hashiya, and by Mufti Rasheed Ahmad in Ahsan al-Fatawa, and also in the Fatawa al-Hindiyya.]" ---> Now if this is a scholar I don't know...so following scholars is haram, but Islamically speaking this is what you have to do.

You have to remind this person that just because they dont want to 'get in trouble' in this life, does not exempt them from making the restitution required under Shari'a. We fear Allah subhanahu wa tala only. To fear another is to commit shirk. I would also recommend councelling because this behaviour falls into a compulsive neurosis which they will need to examine and learn to control fully; this should only be done by a qualified Muslim councellor, InshaAllah.

Oh, I've had something stolen from me before.

I must say, she was a horrible liar and a great denier.

So I would just say this: just tell him you know it was him, but don't get too deep. Just say this one sentence,"I know it was you." And no more, or you'll just dig a deeper hole. Then forget about him and let him sink into his own bubble of denial. Hope that helps! :)

Yay :D

If you can't prove he did it and he keeps denying it, the best thing to do is to stop being around him. If you're not around him, he can't steal from you. You have to chalk it up as a lesson learned and stay away from this guy.

Well first you have to be sure they are guilty of stealing something. Then you have to take measurable actions against the person either through law or rule of establishment, home or workplace.

tell him/her to confess ,if doesn't then you have three options;

1.........

forgive the sinner.

Allah likes them who forgive.

2..........

leave the matter to God.

leave on Allah what happened to you.

3........

go to police for this complaint.

i'll say if the lose is not higher then forgive and leave the matter to God.

I faced same situation when I was in middle school... ... just dont think about it too much.. whoever steal stuff from u will get bad karma u may not see it but he will trust me...
