Imagine, just for a moment, someone stealing thousands of dollars from you. Is your first thought to forgive them and move on? Or are you immediately angered and figure out ways to catch the person?

One Bay Ridge coffee shop owner took the ladder.

Cocoa Grinder, a coffee shop on Third Avenue, was broken into and robbed overnight of a whopping $3,000. Instead of calling the police to track down the thief, owner Abdul Elenani, posted a forgiveness letter outside of his cafe.

The letter reads:

Through this door you came & on this door I write!

This sexual issue must be dealt with right off order cheap viagra click for more info the bat else it can be truly powerful.

Dear John/Jane Doe,

Hope this letter  finds you and your family well. What happened on the night of the 17th of August was a mistake and not cool. After hearing about all the restaurants getting robbed and broken into on a weekly basis then Cocoa Grinders turn came around that night made me just stop to write you and hopefully you read it.

If you were to ask me personally “would you rob to survive?” I’d say “I’m better off not surviving and of course not be a reason to mess up some ones day or life.” But of-course at the end of the day everyone has their own personal opinion. Well sir/madam, I didn’t report this and I didn’t check the cameras to see who you are. I’d rather just not know. If the money you stole was to better you and your family’s living, then I forgive you. If it was stolen for you to go out there and ruin yourself and health, I still forgive you and ask of you to fix yourself.

“Every human being comments sins, and the best of singers are those who frequently repent.”

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

“You don not do evil to those who do evil to you, but you deal with them with forgiveness and kindness.”

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

“It’s my religion. It’s the way I was raised up. Is to always forgive and always to give,” Elenani, who is a Muslim, born and raised in Brooklyn, tells ABC News.

Elenani says if the burglar was to ever fess up, he’d probably give them a job.

“It brings the community together,” said employee Cindy Sung. (“You think you would’ve done that?”) “Probably not.”

The next time something bad happens to you, think “What would Abdul do?”.
