Scene 2

Amina: (Pointing at Anika) Ustazah, Anika took my pencil without permission! 
Anika:(Feeling guilty) I... I was going to give it back! 
Ustazah:(Calmly) Anika, stealing is wrong, no matter how small it seems. We must respect each other’s 
belongings.  
Ustazah: (Continuing) In the Quran, Allah warns us against stealing.  
Sarah: Yes, ustazah. In Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:38), Allah says:  
 "    
ُ قِراَّسلاَوُُ زيِزَعُ َّاللََّوَُِّاللََُّنِ مًُلًاَكَنُاَبَسَكُاَمِبًُءاَزَجُاَم هَيِدْيَأُاو عَطْقاَفُ ةَقِراَّسلاَوُُ ميِكَح" 
 “If a man or woman commits theft, their hands should be cut off as a punishment for what they have 
earned. This is a deterrent punishment from Allah, who is All-Mighty and All-Wise." 
Amina: (Solemnly) It’s not just about the pencil; it’s about trust and friendship. 
Scene 5: The Lesson Learned 
Ustazah: (Gently) Remember, stealing can lead to greater problems and affects our relationships. We must 
always be honest and respect what belongs to others.  
Tanisha: (Encouraging) Anika, it’s never too late to make things right. Just apologize to Amina. 
Anika: (Sincerely) I’m really sorry, Amina. I shouldn’t have taken your pencil without asking. 
Scene 6: Making Amends 
Amina: (Softening) I appreciate your apology, Anika. Just promise me you won’t steal again. 
Ustazah: (Smiling) I’m glad to see you taking responsibility, Anika. Let’s all promise to be honest and respect 
each other’s belongings. 
Anika: (Nods) I promise! I’ll work hard and buy my own pencil case. 
(Anika returns the pencil to Amina, who smiles in forgiveness.) 
End of Act: 
(Anika hands the pencil back to Amina, who smiles in forgiveness. Ustazah gathers the students for a final 
message.) 
Ustazah: (Smiling) I’m proud of all of you for resolving this matter. Remember, our actions reflect our 
character. Stealing is not just a minor mistake; it breaks trust and harms relationships.  
Tanisha: (Nods) And it’s always better to ask for what we need than to take without permission. 
Amina: (Supportively) I forgive you, Anika. Just promise me you won’t steal again. 
Anika: (Sincerely) I promise! I’ve learned my lesson today. 
Ayesha: (Concluding) The moral of this play is:   
“Honesty and respect for others are fundamental values in Islam. Stealing is forbidden, and true friendships 
are built on trust and integrity.” 
(Students nod in agreement, reflecting on the lesson learned.) 
All   : (In unison) Let’s always be honest and respectful to one another!
