السلام عليكم ورحمة الله Here's something I've learnt during my education as a mafioso. Even if they say it's not all about money, it sometimes is just that. Forget making enemies. Money can get you in the grave. I've known people who have killed for less than you'd expect. Some fell due to the mistakes made by those who were supposed to look after them. Little ones. So remember Allah and then remember your family before you get into something like this. I need not stress to many of you that it is not entirely smart to get into such matters. Allah is the one who provides, so your provision will come to you whether you have sourced it permissibly or not.

وعليكم السلام Thanks for the warm welcome, brother

Please, the pleasure is mine. May Allah grant us all Paradise.

Glad to be on board.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم I'd like to first introduce myself to this community. I'm an ex-organised criminal turned Muslim. I was a high ranking member of a huge conglomerate in my nation's mafia before I decided to turn my back on the life in its entirety. My notes or articles here will primarily be discussing my experiences, before and after leaving the life of crime. I'll also share lessons you'll not find in a classroom. Not your traditional ones, at least. These ones are straight from the junior year in the mafia. I hope to benefit you with my life experiences so that you all may learn the favour of God and keep away from the mistakes I've made. Hope to meet more of you and benefit from your experiences and knowledge as well.

وعليكم السلام. Not quite but close enough hahahaha Nice to meet you as well, بارك الله فيم

Thanks dear brother.

Indeed الحمد لله Looking forward to meeting all of you

وعليكم السلام Thank you for the welcome. Glad to be here amongst fellow muslims.

As someone who has actually been in mafia and left, الحمد لله, I'd like to say that it's kind of true. Even if you manage to leave, it kind of sticks with you, even if you've been out for a while. You'll never forget some of the lessons you've learnt. Sometimes, you still behave like you have the benefactors you once had. Like a vestige.
