Actually Osman, it does ALWAYS catch up to you. If not in this life, then mos def in the next.

And I personally, would rather anyone let it catch up to them in this life, and NOT the next.

I agree abbu. Most people can pass through the cracks of school harnessing the power of cheating. Then they move on to become profesionals earning money. But I think Sh. Yaser Birjas mentioned that if you’re a chronic cheater, and cheating got you a position, then you’re making your money using haram means, and the money isn’t clean!

A professor of mine in college once talked about the issue of cheating during exams. He said he really didn’t mind either way, because he knew sooner or later it would catch up to the cheaters. You can’t always cheat, and he figured when the time came for them to really prove themsevles without cheating, they’d fail and get what they deserved.

Scary part is that some of these people may never get caught in this world and go on to become incompetent and dishonest doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants and politicians.

I guess that without the fear of accountability of the hereafter, this dunia could really be a pretty unfair and scary place. Right?

My favorite approach to dealing with cheaters when all else fails: call the two of them to my desk, throw their papers at them and yell, “DO YOU THINK I’M STUPID?! YOU’RE BOTH SUSPENDED.” That got through to them.

It’s scary, because the Prophet (ﺹ) said “Whoever cheats is not one of us.” May Allah protect us and all students from this disease.

Your student(s) who are slipping into this will eventually realize their mistakes and turn back to what’s good. I just hope it’s before it’s too late.
