There are about three hundred
and sixty verses in the Holy Quran, where there
is the mentioning of the word "work"
and at most of the location it is used in a generalized
meaning. To make it more clear, the means for
the provision of bread and butter is also included
in the context of "work", or more over
in the "virtuous acts"!
Our infallible Guides, have
also casted light, on these topics.
In this regard the Holy Prophet (SAWAW) says:-
"Curse has befallen upon that person, who
puts his load on someone else's shoulder."123
Hazrat Au (ASWS) says:-
"Allah Almighty, loves an earning skillful
believer (mo'min) "124
Sadiq-e-Ale Muhammad (ASWS)
says:

as wax, by the flare of strength (i.e. of his
hands). Hazrat Yousaf (AS) is resolving
the political, administrative, and economic problems
of Egypt. Hazrat ldrees (AS) is absorbed in garment
making. Hazrat Suleiman (AS) is conducting the
affairs of the government, over all the visible
creations that exist on the Earth and in the skies.
Hazrat Zakariya (AS) is controlling the market,
because of his business!
On the lands of Mac'ca, the
impressions of the art of construction take shape,
with the efforts of the friend of Allah, Hazrat
lbrahim (AS) and his virtuous son Hazrat lsma'il
(AS) which turn in to a unified direction for
all the lseoT,le of the universe.
Yes, the dignified (ul'ul-as'm) prophet Hzrat
Musa (AS) outmarked in irrigation and cattle breeding.
Hazrat~ Es'sa (AS) gained fame in the field of
medicine, and the Last of the Prophets Hazrat
Muhammad (SAWAW), gained outstanding success in
the field of bussiness. The Guides, from his school
of thought and deeds, Hazrat Ali lbne-Abi Talib,
Hazrat lmam Hasan Mujtaba, and the founder of
the school of Ahle-Bait Hazrat lmam Jaffar Sadiq
(ASWS), are seem absorbed in agriculture and gardening!
If we do not include the above
acts and engagements of these reverent personalities
and the distinguished persons of Allah, as "virtuous
acts", then what should we name it? Moreover,
if we do not consider these long durations of
toil and labour as divine worship, then it would
be unjust with the act of worship itself! and
would be a disgrace to all the symbols of submissions,
in this universe?
