All bin Abdul Aziz says,
that Sadiq-e-Ale Muhammad (ASWS) inquired from
me:
What did Muhammad bin Muslim
do?
I replied:
May I be sacrificed upon you!
He has given up his business, and is absorbed
in praying.
On hearing this, He replied.
"I feel pity! Does he
not know, that one who does not strives for subsistence,
his supplications are not accepted!"131
11.2. Pious Passions
The best society in the world
is one which has the cognizance of Allah, and
it's members are bestowed upon with the Divine
Grace of mutual help and support of each other!
The Islamic society has a
similar framework. Along with economic awareness,
the Holy Quran has strongly emphasized on helping
the poors and supporting the destitutes.
It is mentioned in Quran:-
"And in their wealth is the share for the
weak and the destitutes."132
And right from the beginning
we need to develop in our children the habits
to help others and share their work and concerns.
Safeguard them from greed, selfishness, and apprehension.
Develop in them farsightedness and depth of vision
and heart. They should have love and affection
for all, without any bias or discrimination. Moreover,
by possible means, they should be habituated to
help others, so that the journey for goodwill
continues, and pious feelings keep flourish in
the world!
It is directed by Allah:-
