And in the end, we quote a
saying of the seventh Guide of the genealogy of
the Prophet, Hazrat lmam Musa Kazim (ASWS). The
Bab-ul-Hawa'ij, says:-
The work which is beyond ones capabilities,
if he intentionally tries to perform it, his efforts
would go in vain and due to spoilage of work,
would also loose all his expectations."142
11.4. Approach and
Style
After knowing that, it is
a demand of the Islamic code of life (Shari'ah),
that every responsible person is duty bound to
find out "the economic means" for his
livelihood and for his family, and also for the
fulfillment of the needs of others, and to the
extent possible, to help resolve their financial
difficulties. It has also been known that whatsoever
type of task he may perform, he is obliged to
do so, elegantly and diligently.
Moreover, it is necessary
to impress upon the minds of our children, that
whatsoever, profession they may adopt, or business
they may choose, or service they may select, should
be approved and permissible (muba'h), in the Islamic
codes (shar'ah)! Because the religion has forbidden
or disapproved (makruh) certain means of earnings
for the maintenance of purity in thought and conscience,
protection of the common interest, and due to
their effect on certain psychological factors.
Therefore, if a certain field
of activity is considered forbidden, then the
earning drawn from it are also ill legal, along
with the associated benefits derived, like wages,
salary, commission, allowance, bonus, and awards
etc. All are considered Suhut i.e. as forbidden
(ha'ram).
While mentioning the evil
deeds of the Jews, the Holy Quran mentions: -
