TO GO WITH A RAGOUT

Values of life

Glad to see such news reported by Gulf News (‘Dubai cleaner who returned gold, cash and passports honoured,’ Gulf News, April 10). We need more people like Ashraf in the world. His honesty shows the values he holds. These are the kind of values I want children to learn. I strongly believe that if you do good you will most certainly earn the rewards sometime.

Encouragement for others

People like Ashraf still exist everywhere in the world, people with values and manners; I am just thrilled with what he did. It takes courage to do it. He is definitely a man with strong principles. Thank you to the authorities of Dubai for keeping this country and its people safe. Recognising people like Ashraf would encourage others to follow the path of honesty.

What we do for ourselves dies with us, but what we do for others and the society remains forever. It is immortal. Kudos Mohammad Ashraf!

Proud

Ashraf, this is a great deed brother. Deeds are always above anything. Good deed might pay or might not, but it will always keep you proud on the inside, and that is what matters most. God bless you.

A true role model

This man is a role model for each of us. I am really surprised to see someone with such great qualities in this greedy world. May God Almighty reward each of us for the good deeds we do. Ashraf is a clear example of that.

Thank you, once again

Mohammad Ashraf may God bless you. When I read this story I remembered a customs officer at Kochi International Airport, India. I had lost a bag last year, in December, at the airport. The bag contained gold for my daughter’s wedding. I did not expect that I would ever find it. Whoever found the bag would obviously keep the gold. However, I was wrong. This customs officer I had spoken with actually traced my number and called me back to return the bag intact. I don’t know the officer’s name, but today once again I would like to thank him. Thank you.

Rewarded

May God bless Ashraf and his family. He is truly an inspiration and a role model that everyone must follow in order to become an honest and true man. I hope you are rewarded with abundance in this life and your next.

Satisfied

Ashraf, we are proud of you. Keep it up! Being a person with a low income you never took the wrong path in life. Keeping the bag and money would have changed a lot for you, but you knew that it wasn’t yours. I am so glad that you actually returned the bag to its rightful owner. Thank you.

Kudos to the authorities

While praising the honesty of Ashraf I would also like to congratulate the authorities for recognising his efforts and awarding him for them. All this recognition and praise will be of more value to him than the contents of the bag.

Outstanding values

I appreciate Gulf News for publishing Ashraf’a story with his photo. It needs lot of courage to do the right thing. I am more impressed that Ashraf denied the reward saying: “That is just duty done.” That gives us insight into him. He is a role model for everyone. I would like to know more about him.
