So I was invited to a VIP Conference....

Post by ZubeirAwal »

Long story short I was at a major shopping mall last week at a job fare applying and gathering information for potential job possibilities when a Somali individual randomly came up to me and managed to get me invited into a invite-only conference at a 4 star hotel. So I attend that hotel this evening, thinking that this is legit, little did I know it was a cleverly put pyramid scheme, they wanted me to pay £390, and once I paid that I invite two other people in the company who pay £390, I then get paid £2,800 at the end of the month. The presentation really gave me goosebumps when the presenter said " You will be making money while relaxing and not doing anything at all" , as a Muslim I believe in a free and fair economy, why would I be making immoral profit from the sweat dripping down another human's brow?

The scheme is this, you convince families to change their service companies to a specific company that this pyramid scheme works for, they in turn pay you 10% of the bill fee's of each family, even though you didn't do anything to deserve it, quite corrupt. The Somali guy only invited me so that I can be his vantage for him earning his £5,000, he also had his wife there who was resilient, she thought of me as a naive teenager " Do you want to drive a sports car" I was seriously like :| , if there's anything that I'd wish to possess it would be a female camel , a few extra sheep and horses. I cannot blame her for her vague stereotypes, I just have to accept that I'm different to most Somalis.

So they invited me to a meeting tomorrow with the 'team' or the (cycle) (i.e the cycle that will have money floating around), it consists of three xalimos and one farax, they tried getting me into it, I'm going to turn them down. This was a random opportunity and I see it as a test from God to see whether if I'll follow my material external insight and passionately fall in love with this scheme, ah who cares if there are people struggling to pay their bills, as long as I'm getting 10% off of each of them it's cool right?

Or whether I'll follow my spiritual internal insight, and that's exactly what I did. Kinda sad seeing Muslims engaging in this form of Riba, targeting other human beings merely to increase one's own profitable gains, that is one of the 72 parts of Riba. Oh well, my Iman has had a massive boost since then, Alhamdulilah.
