Do Not Resort To Shady Deals When Earning
DO NOT RESORT TO SHADY DEALS WHEN EARNING FOR ALLAAH TA’ALA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR SUSTENANCE
It is reported from Hadhrat Umar رضي الله عنه that Nabi-e-Kareem صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم has said, “Remain serious in the matter of earning the world. Allaah Ta’ala is responsible for your sustenance.”
BENEFIT: Allaah Ta’ala takes the responsibility of providing our sustenance through various means. Therefore seek your sustenance through business, a shop, farming, labour or some trade etc. Since Allaah Ta’ala has created us and apportioned for us our sustenance, our sustenance will definitely reach us through adopting the means of earning this allotted sustenance.
BE SERIOUS WHEN EARNING-WHAT HAS BEEN DECREED FOR ONE WILL DENINITELY COME ONE’S WAY
It is reported from Hadhrat Abu Hameed As Saa’adee Ta’ala that Nabi-e-Kareem (صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم ) said, “Adopt seriousness and tranquility in your seeking of wealth because what has been written for you will reach you.”
BENEFIT: Bear in mind that through greed and by being perturbed one will not get more. In fact one will be even more disturbed and worried. Do not overexert yourself and be perturbed in your quest for wealth because wealth is acquired in order to attain peace and tranquility. If one sacrifices one’s peace of mind and tranquility it is the very opposite, and the objective then becomes wealth in itself.
Therefore O people do not hanker after wealth to such an extent.
