The Will of Allah

It was contradicting that Sule had such strong religious views, yet he didn't hesitate to steal from people. His philosophy was that Allah created some people more well off than others. He felt the less fortunate were justified to steal from the rich. The irony is the judge assures that Sule will get his "just deserts" when in the end he meets his death after stealing a gourd with a venomous snake secretly hidden inside it. When he realizes he's going to die, he respects Allah's decision.
