A big shot of a major bank threatened that if a part of the system didn’t work accurately, one whole team in the bank will be out of work. What I find strange is our mindset, even of the highly educated. We’d rather rely on a mortal being or a man-made system for providing livelihood rather then the Ar-Razzaq (The Sustainer) who arranges for a person’s rizq even before comes into this world. We’d rather use or try to find sources to get out CV in the right hands. We’d rather not pray to the Almighty for blessing us with ways to earn legal income.
As a nation, we depend on Uncle Sam and others to aid us in need at a much larger cost to us. The economical situation is at its worst everywhere in the world but it’s only us who are out their begging bowls pleading the developed countries to bail us out. Nobody wants to work hard and help the country but Everybody wants to live in luxury. I believe I am doing the same because what we all know best is: to talk. Just go on uttering nonsense and consider your part done. That’s why the talk shows are so popular in our part of the world
Anyways, all this reminded me of something I heard a month back.
‘Allah has promised to provide us rizq but we spend our life worrying about work and finding means to earn a living. Allah has not promised to enter us into Jaanah without good deeds. But knowingly, we continue to run after what has already been promised instead of working towards what has not been promised.’
I know we can’t earn without making an effort but let us not put all our efforts in it. May Allah give us the spiritual intellect to labor and make our efforts towards what He wants.
