Significance Of Hard Work In Religion Islam

The religion Islam gives lot of significance and importance on work. In various places in Quran, the significance and importance of time has mentioned in various places. It is also said that time must not be wasted in useless activities. In the Holy Quran, Almighty Allah has drawn attention to all the creations that can achieve the best possible results with the help of proper planning. As a true Muslim believes in the fact that nothing can be created without doing proper planning. Almighty Allah describes in the Holy Quran that how both heavens and earth were created in the period of seven days. This shows a sign for all the mankind. After this, Quran gives a message to humanity that it must play a positive role towards earth and it must also work for making it a better place.
As it is said in the Holy Quran:
“That man can have nothing but what he strives for; That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight: Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete.” (An-Najm 53:39-41)
In Islam, lots of significance and importance is given to the fact that it is considered as the act of worship. There is a wrong perception among some people that they are very dedicated towards the worship of Almighty Allah, as a result they do not find enough time for work. But the fact is that Islam is a religion that on one hand emphasizes on worshipping the creator, while on the other hand, it also emphasizes on working for survival as well. Almighty Allah tells in the Holy Quran that you should make the best use of available resources that were created for you. It is important to develop the habit of Quran Learning and Reading, as it will help you in developing better understanding of Islam. Islam is a religion that emphasizes on becoming a useful part of the working and productive society. The last messenger Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H) also used to seek refuge from idleness and refuge.
Before he was chosen as the messenger of Almighty Allah, he was regarded as a hardworking person. This also raised the level of respect in the eyes of his employer. His Wife Hazrat Khadija also spoke about all of his merits and virtues. The fact is that Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H) maintained a good balance between work and worship. In a similar manner, Muslims must also work and be consistent regarding their act of worship, furthermore, they must also work hard for earning a better livelihood. According to the companions of Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H), Prophet Muhammad(P.B.U.H) regarded work as a part of worship.

The Importance of Work

Work not- Just Pray

An extremely anxious and perplexed man visited Hazrat Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (‘a), and begged him to pray that Allah would increase his sustenance and relieve him of all financial stress.
The Imam (‘a) answered, ‘I shall certainly not pray for you.’
The poor man sighed and asked, ‘But why not? What have I done?’
The Imam (‘a) replied, ‘You know perfectly well that Allah has devised means and ways of attaining prosperity. He has ordered you to leave your house and earn a living through hard work. You refuse to obey the law and foolishly hope praying for you will bring you prosperity.’

You work-I pray

A number of pilgrims were narrating their experiences of Hajj to Imam Jafar al- Sadiq (‘a), and recounting their views about their fellow pilgrims. One person was immensely impressed by a fellow pilgrim and said, ‘He was truly pious and an indefatigable worshipper of Allah. Whenever we broke journey to rest for the night, he retired to a secluded place, spread out his prayer mat and got engrossed in the worship of Allah.’
The Imam (‘a) enquired, ‘Who looked after the rest of his affairs? Who tended his camel?’
He replied, ‘Obviously, we performed all those duties for Allah’s pleasure. He remained absorbed in the holy acts, and had no time for such menial chores.’
The Imam (‘a) replied, ‘No wonder you achieved more than he did with all his piety and worship.

A New Convert

Two neighbors became good friends. One was a Christian, the other, Muslim. They often discussed their religions to see what was more conducive to a civilized way of life, and then they adopted it. The Muslim presented Islam with all its material and spiritual benefits, so the Christian, one day, embraced Islam.
A few days later, earlier than dawn, somebody knocked at his door.
‘Whose there?’ asked the new convert, a little apprehensive.
‘I am your neighbour. It will soon be time for the morning obligatory prayer (Fajr), so wear your clothes, perform ablution and come with me to the mosque. Today, we will offer our prayers with the congregation. The new Muslim consented, and they both reached the mosque.
‘Fasting is a means of gaining nearness to God,’ the neighbor said. The convert declared the intention of fasting for the day.
Since there was some time left for the call for prayer (Aazaan), they both offered some units of prayer for spiritual satisfaction. Soon it was time, and they offered their Fajr prayer. After reciting all the supererogatory prayers advised by religious leaders, the convert got up to go home.
‘Where are you going?’
‘Home,’ he replied.
‘Hold on. Its now time to read the Holy Quran.’
He placed the Quran before him, and they both read till the bright rays of the sun fell on them. The convert rose to go home, but the Muslim stopped him again.
This time he stopped him for the Zuhr prayer, as only an hour remained. After the afternoon prayer and all the supererogatory prayers had been read, it was almost time for the evening, Asr, prayer. Having completed that, the man said he was going home to break his fast after sunset. His neighbor advised him to offer the Maghrib prayer. He agreed. After that, he stood up to leave.
‘Only the I’sha prayer is left. After that you can go home.’ The neighbor urged.
After offering the night prayer, the new convert went home.
There was a knock at his door again, at the time of Sehr.
‘Whose there?’ he asked.
‘Wear your clothes and come, we will offer our prayer in the mosque.’
‘Excuse me. I retuned to my religion after staying with you yesterday. Go find somebody useless who has nothing to do but pray. I am a family man, and need to provide for them. I have other duties and responsibilities to fulfill. I cannot just pray to God all day and survive on nothing. Get lost!’
Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (‘a) related this incident to his followers and said:
‘Thus, a pious and God fearing Muslim converted a non-believer to Islam. But, it took the new convert only one day to give it up because of the rigid and extreme measures adopted by the Muslim. Remember, force and rigidity lead to unease, frustration, and discontentment. The Ummayads used force to make people obey them, and received nothing but contempt. Promote religion affectionately, courteously, mildly, with mutual consent. Our methods should make people embrace Islam by choice, and practice it according to the level of their faith and energy- both physical and mental.’

Just Distribution of Work

The Holy Prophet (s) and his companions alighted from their horses and started unloading their camels to break their journey. Everyone agreed on slaughtering a goat and cooking its meat for dinner. One of them offered to slaughter the animal. Another took removing the skin upon himself. A third volunteered to cook the meat.
The Holy Prophet (s) said, ‘I’ll collect the wood for the fire from the surrounding wilderness.’ All his (s)companions cried in unison, ‘Why must you work, with us around? We feel honored to serve you while you rest. We will complete the task in no time.’
The Holy Prophet (s) replied. ‘I know that you can accomplish this in no time, but God doesn’t befriend anyone who considers himself better than his friends and worthy of their respect.’
Saying this he walked towards the woods, and returned with a pile of dry twigs and leaves enough to light the fire while the others finished their work.

Division of Labour

After Imam Ali (‘a) and Lady Fatimah Zahra (‘a) got married, they began their new life together. They organized their belongings as needed and went to the Holy Prophet (s) for his advice in the division of domestic chores. ‘Guide us, O Prophet of Allah (s), as to how we should divide our domestic chores between us,’ requested Imam Ali (‘a).
The Holy Prophet (s) declared, ‘Ali, you will do all the chores outside the house, while Fatimah will perform all those inside the house.’
Lady Fatimah (‘a) was overjoyed with his division. She said, ‘I am so relieved to have nothing to do with men.’ Ali(‘a) would purchase wood, grain, groceries and other essential items from the market, while she would grind the flour, cook the meals, do the laundry and keep the house clean. Besides, whenever Imam Ali (‘a) found extra time he would help with the chores inside the house.
One day the Holy Prophet (s) visited them and found them both working together. He (s) asked, ‘Who is the more exhausted of you two, for me to assist?’ ‘Fatimah,’ said Ali (‘a).
He (s) sent her to rest and helped Ali (‘a) to complete her chores.
Islam was in its early days and Imam Ali (‘a) had to accompany the Muslim army for Jihad more than often. He provided her with all the essential items, but, whenever the need arose, Lady Fatimah (‘a) went to the market herself and purchased whatever she needed in those days.
Life went on smoothly until the family grew and the house was echoing with the innocent joyful laughter of children. However, the burden of work inside the house had increased manifold. One day Imam Ali (‘a) noticed that grinding, cooking, carrying waterbags from the well, washing and cleaning, besides feeding, bathing, and babysitting the children had left Fatimah (‘a) with sore hands, a scarred back and worn-out clothes. Despite his help, she was busy all the time.
Sorrowful on her condition, he advised her to request her father for a serving woman. Lady Fatimah (‘a) agreed. She went to see her father, but found him busy conversing with some people. She returned home without voicing her request.
However, the Holy Prophet (s) noticed her coming and going, and understood that she had come for something important. Next morning, he went to visit her to find out the reason for her visit the day before. At the door, he greeted the inmates in a loud, clear voice, ‘Assalam o Alaikum.’
Both Ali (‘a) and Fatimah (‘a) were resting. They felt embarrassed that they were still resting, and did not respond aloud. It was the Holy Prophet’s (s) habit to repeat the greeting thrice and return if he failed to get a response. Imam Ali (‘a) knew his habit, so he quickly replied, ‘Walaikum Assalam, O Prophet of Allah (s). Do come in.’
The Holy Prophet (s) sat at the head side of his daughter’s bed and asked, ‘You came to see me yesterday, Fatimah, and then returned. I am sure it was important. What did you come for, my child?’
Imam Ali (‘a) replied, ‘If you permit me, I will tell you why Fatimah went to see you. I sent her to you. The reason was that her chores within the house have increased manifold. It grieves me to see her sore hands, scarred back and dusty clothes because of working all day long. I sent her to request you to provide a woman to assist her.’
The Holy Prophet (s) did not want any member of his family to enjoy facilities that were not available to the poor Muslims, especially the immigrants, who were in a state of extreme poverty in those days. He knew the spiritual level of his daughter’s faith, so he said, ‘Would you prefer it if I give you something better?’
‘We will be pleased to accept, Ya Rasool Allah (s).’
‘Everyday, before going to bed, recite Allah o Akbar, 34 times, Alhamdolillah, 33 times and Subhanallah, 33 times. It will give you more strength to perform your chores than any helping hand.’
Lady Fatimah (‘a) had not uncovered her face until this moment. She removed the cloth from her face and said, ‘My pleasure lies in what pleases my Allah (SWT) and His Messenger (s).’

Earn ones living

Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (‘a) was busy working in his garden, wearing working clothes with spade in hand, when one of his friends, Abu Umro Shaibani arrived. Seeing him drenched in perspiration because of the heat and labour, he thought there was need of a labourer, so the Imam (‘a) had opted to work himself.
He stepped forward and said, ‘Let me help you finish this work.’
The Imam (‘a) said, ‘No. I like working on the farm with my own hands. It is necessary for man to face the heat of the sun and feel the exhaustion of earning ones own living.’

Cause and Effect

Ali ibn e Abi Talib (‘a) left his home and, as usual, proceeded towards the jungle. He was familiar with the untrodden paths of the jungle. He was carrying something on his back. On the way, a passerby asked him, ‘Ali, what is that weight you are carrying on your back?’
‘Date-palms, Insha Allah!’ he replied.
‘Date-palms?’ He clearly did not understand what Ali (‘a) meant.
Some years later, he noticed an orchard of date-palms, stand tall and elegant where Ali (‘a) had planted the saplings he had nurtured with his own hands. His amazement, then at Ali’s (‘a) remark, vanished when he saw the full-grown trees with his own eyes.

Hard Work

Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The Momin dies with his sweat on his brow.” [An-Nasai]

To have sweat on one’s brow indicates labour and hard work. This means that a momin dies working. Our concepts have gotten all messed up. We think that the place of recompense is this world; that once you reach a certain age you should be living in luxury, if not all your life. But where in the Quran does Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) say that a luxurious life (eeshatin raadhia) is supposed to happen anytime in your life on earth? All of Allah’s promises of never-ending ease, comfort, happiness and more than all you want, is reserved for us in Jannah. This life is our qualifying exam to get there. How can a person in the middle of an exam decide to retire?

Some girls think that the place where all their wishes should come true is their husbands’ homes. Nowhere does Allah or His Messenger state this to be the case. When you get married you simply move from one exam room to another. There is an increase in the number of questions you have to answer correctly to successfully pass the exam of life. First you had to correctly deal with your parents, siblings and other relatives. Now there is an increase in your exam questions and you also have to correctly deal with your husband, in-laws, children, etc. The place where all your wishes will come true is only and only Jannah. It is not possible that this should happen in this temporary, worldly life.

Hard work is considered one of the most important traits of Muslim men and women alike. Never shy from work. However, remember, that if you work to earn your living and your wife takes care of the children and other household issues, this does not mean that your work is more important or valuable than hers is. You are both just managing two different areas to successfully run your home. No one person’s work is more important than the other’s is. Both of you contribute to this partnership, so make sure that no one is treated less in any way.

Hard Work and Responsibility in Islam

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful Islam calls us to be responsible to our community and to work hard to provide benefit to others, rather than relying upon begging for charity.
Abdullah bin Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects: a man is the guardian of his family and is responsible for his subjects, a woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and of his children and is responsible for them, and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master’s property and is responsible for it. Surely, every one of you is a shepherd and responsible for his flock. (Sahih Bukhari 6719)

One of the ways we can be responsible is to provide for others and to instill within ourselves a strong work ethic. It is far better for a Muslim to earn his own living and provide for his family than to rely upon the charity of others.
Az-Zubair ibn Awwam reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Verily, for a man to carry a rope and gather firewood, then come to sell it in the market and make himself independent thereby such that he can spend on his needs, that is better for him than asking people who might give him or deprive him” (Musnad Ahmad 1410)

Providing charity for others is far better than receiving charity yourself. Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The upper hand is better than the lower hand, the upper hand being the one that gives and the lower hand being the one that receives” (Sahih Muslim 1033)

The Prophets were the best examples of self-sufficiency, hard work, and responsibility. For example, the Prophet David, upon him be peace, would never eat a meal unless he earned it himself.
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “David would never eat except from the earnings of his own hand’s work” (Sahih Bukhari 3235)

David would work with his own hands even though he was king of the Israelites. He could have lived a life of luxury and ease, but rather he set for us an excellent example of responsibility and hard work.
Likewise, the Prophet Zechariah, upon him be peace, earned his living as a humble carpenter.
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Zechariah, upon him be peace, worked as a carpenter” (Sahih Muslim 2379)

Prophet Muhammad would also serve himself and perform chores for his family, rather than having others work for him. Aisha reported: She was asked, “Did the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, work in his house?” Aisha said: “He was a man among men. He would remove fleas from his clothes, milk his sheep, and serve himself” (Musnad Ahmad 25662)

In this regard, the Prophet would frequently ask Allah for the means to be self-sufficient.
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “O Allah, I ask you for guidance, righteousness, abstinence, and self-sufficiency”. (Sahih Muslim 2721)

For those who are struggling to meet their needs, it is a virtue to give them charity but it is even better to give them the means to support themselves, as in the popular saying, “Feed a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
On one occasion, a man came to the Prophet begging him for charity but the Prophet gave him the means to work for himself.
Anas ibn Malik reported: A man from the Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and begged from him. The Prophet asked: “Have you nothing in your house?”.
He replied, “Yes, a piece of cloth, a part of which we wear and a part of which we spread on the ground, and a wooden bowl from which we drink water.” The Prophet said: Bring them to me.
He then brought these articles to him and he took them in his hands and asked: Who will buy these?
A man said, “I will buy them for one coin.”

He said twice or thrice: Who will offer more than one coin?

A man said, “I will buy them for two coins.” He gave these to him and took the two coins and, giving them to the helper, the Prophet said: Buy food with one of them and hand it to your family, and buy an axe and bring it to me. He then brought it to him.

The Prophet fixed a handle on it with his own hands and said: Go gather firewood and sell it, and do not let me see you for a fortnight.
The man went away and gathered firewood and sold it. When he had earned ten coins, he came to him and bought a garment with some of them and food with the others. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, then said:This is better for you than that begging should come as a spot on your face on the Day of Judgment. Begging is right only for three people: for one who is in grinding poverty, or for one who is in severe debt, or for a painful compensation for killing” (Sunan Abu Dawud 1641).

Begging without a valid excuse is a major sin in Islam and there is no blessing in the charity one receives from such begging.
Mu’awiya reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Do not be persistent in begging. By Allah, if one of you asks me for something and I give it to him unwillingly, then there is no blessing in what I have given him” (Sahih Muslim 1038)

Begging for charity is only permissible in cases of dire need such as overcoming a large debt, experiencing a calamity, or suffering in extreme poverty.
Qabisa ibn Mukhariq reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“O Qabisa, begging is not lawful except for one of three cases: a man who is in heavy debt, so begging is permissible for him until he pays it, after which he must stop; a man whose property is destroyed by a calamity, so begging is permissible for him until he can support himself; and a man who is afflicted by poverty attested to by three astute members of his people, so begging is permissible for him until he can support himself. O Qabisa, besides these three begging is forbidden and the beggar consumes what is forbidden “(Sahih Muslim 1044).

For this reason, the Prophet taught the companions not to ask others for charity. In fact, this was part of the pledge of allegiance some of the companions made to the Prophet.
Awf ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Will you not give your pledge of allegiance to the Messenger of Allah?

Someone said, “O Messenger of Allah, we have already given you our pledge, so what are we pledging to now?” The Prophet said: That you worship Allah and do not associate any partners with Him, that you pray for five prayers, that you listen and obey, and that you do not ask people for anything (Sahih Muslim 1043).

The companions were so careful to obey this command that they would not ask for help even in small matters. Awf ibn Malik said: “Indeed, some of those people obeyed this to the extent that if his whip were to fall from his mount, he would not ask anyone to hand it to him”.

It is not necessary for Muslims to go so far, but this demonstrates how seriously the companions took this command. Despite the injunctions against begging, we should answer the request of the beggar and give them charity, for the Prophet never refused anyone who asked him in the name of Islam.
Musa ibn Anas reported: “The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was never asked anything for the sake of Islam but that he would give it. He gave a man large numbers of sheep, so the man went back to his people and said: O people, become Muslim because Muhammad gives as if he has no fear of poverty” (Sahih Muslim 4275).

The Prophet would even give charity even to beggars who were rude and disrespectful.
Anas ibn Malik reported: “I was walking with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, while he was wearing a Najrani sheet with a thick border. A desert Arab overtook the Prophet and forcibly pulled his clothes. I looked at the shoulder of the Prophet and I saw that the edge of his shirt had left a mark because of the strength of his pull. The man said: O Muhammad, order them to give me something from Allah’s wealth which you have! The Prophet turned and he smiled, then he ordered that he be given charity” (Sahih Bukhari 5738).

In summary, Muslims should develop a strong and responsible work ethic. We should do our best to provide for ourselves and others, rather than relying upon the charity of others. We should not beg unless it is absolutely necessary, but even then we should answer the request of the beggar.

The Concept of Work In Islam ( WORK HARD)

Islam lays great emphasis on work. In many places in the Qur’an it is made clear that time should not be wasted. In the Qur’an, God draws attention to all the magnificent creations as an indication of the proper planning that leads to wonderful results—for Muslims believe that He creates nothing haphazardly. God relates in the Qur’an how the heavens and the earth were created in seven days and describes that as a sign for humankind. Then the Qur’an directs a message to humanity that it should contribute positively to the earth, that is, it should work to make use of what is created for its benefit: “That man can have nothing but what he strives for; That (the fruit of) his striving will soon come in sight: Then will he be rewarded with a reward complete” (An-Najm 53:39-41) 

In Islam work is given special importance to the extent that it is considered as an act of worship in itself. Although some people believe that they are not obliged to work because they dedicate themselves to worshiping God, this is actually a wrong perception of the concept of worship. The Muslim scholar Imam Al-Ghazali mentioned in his book Ihyaa’ `Ulum Ad-Deen (Revival of the Religious Sciences) that Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) once saw a man who had completely devoted himself to worship. When he asked him how he got his daily bread, the man replied that his brother, who worked, provided him with food. Jesus then told him, “That brother of yours is more religious than you are” (The Book of Provision, Chapter 1). Al-Ghazali also mentions the Prophet’s Companion `Umar ibn Al-Khattab, who used to stress this point further by telling people, “Never should anyone of you think that du`aa’ (supplication) for sustenance without work will avail him, for heaven never rains gold nor silver” (The Book of Provision, Chapter 1).
Therefore, Islam is a religion of worshiping the Creator, with an essential part of that worship being working for survival. God tells us in the Qur’an to traverse the universe and make use of all the abundant resources that have been created for us. 

Islam is a religion that orders its followers to be part and parcel of a working and productive society. The Qur’an says what means:  “.....and help one another in goodness and piety, and do not help one another in sin and aggression; and be careful of (your duty to) Allah”. (Al-Ma’idah 5:2)
The Prophet Muhammad himself, who is considered a paragon of virtues in Islam, used to pray seeking God’s refuge from laziness or idleness. Even before he was chosen as a messenger of God, he was a hardworking person. This earned him the respect of his employer, Khadijah, who later proposed marriage to him because of all the merits and virtues she saw in him.
In his instructions to Muslims on this aspect, the Prophet Muhammad strikes a balance between worship and work. So, as Muslims have to be constant in their acts of worship, they also have to work hard to make a living, as it is recorded in one of the famous sayings of scholars: “Work hard (for making a living and survival) as if you are going to die” (Al-Albani, Series of Weak and Fabricated Hadiths). Also, in exhorting Muslims on the importance of work, the Prophet Muhammad made it clear that getting one’s sustenance from one’s work is one of the praiseworthy acts of worship. It is recorded in his traditions how he turned a man who came to him begging into a productive member of the society by teaching him how to work and provide for himself.

Reason #38: Because we have control the world, before the world control us

We often divide between this world and the hereafter, between the social and religious life, and the relationship between human beings and the human-God. Indeed, the two separated but to put together. The Quran requires humans to be active in going through this world. We recall that the human spirit and body consists instead, and both must be balanced. The word al-hayaat and al-mamaat in the Qur'an that the same amount of letters is six, which is repeated 145 times as much.
Prayer is not important or important work. Is essentially correct, the prayer is done at the time of prayer and the work done on time worked. The Prophet said: "Not the best among you are putting hereafter as the world abandoned or put the world while hereafter abandoned. The best among you are those who collect both ".

Trying to control the world, but do not make the world control us. In the case of an asset to be Apostles: "Will I put the treasure in my hand, not in my heart". Rasullullah is clear evidence. Rasullullah is the most noble man in the world and in the hereafter. He was human Kamil, but he grabbed it like other humans: he is eating, drinking, sleeping, and the family as anyone else.
To run the world properly, then we have to fear Him. Pious will balance his world and the Hereafter, equilibrium in the domestic life and public affairs, and so on. Pious person may also feel the pleasures of the world. In Surat an-Nisa: 134 says that Allah is the reward of this world and in the hereafter as well. The key we have to understand what the world is, and what how the life style in the world is allowed and not allowed.

Muslim attitude to face this world must be positive. As inheritors of the earth he should not run, but he had to "master" in the sense of organizing and prosperity in the world. Humans do not lower yourself to the universe, because God has the glory and superiority of human beings against others. In order to carry out their duties, then humans must develop science. All science is the science of God, except the black magic.


Muadh ibn Jabal from the Prophet SAW said: "Seek knowledge because it indicates we are afraid of God. Demand that science is a way of worship, while recall is the rosary, analyze it is jihad, while teaching is a clue in determining which are kosher and which are unlawful even be a lamp to the road to heaven. "Science is scared when his friends, companions when alone, even interlocutor in isolation. He is a hard and happy when his instructions, a powerful weapon in dealing with the enemy but be ornate and composition at the time of silence. Allah ennoble society because science so that they become role models for others, their ideas and thoughts into a role model, always accompanied angel rubbed them with gentleness and wings pray for them. Each leaf twigs and ripples sea participate memintakan forgiveness for them, as well as all the animals on land and at sea. Science of the soul turn deadly ignorance, illuminating us from the darkness, so that everyone will achieve the position and a high degree of noble in the world and in the hereafter. *****

Reason #37: The world is a field for the afterlife

World that must be avoided is a world-luxuries (hedonic life), as the Tribe of 'Ad in the era of the prophet Hud. Currently there seems to be a mistake where there is fear of treasure so rich people are scared. For fear of the rich, it works only in moderation.

One day the Prophet met a friend whose condition is very alarming. When asked, he replied that this might happen because of prayer. The contains of pray is: "O Allah, grant me the woes of the world and make the world's misery as a hint that I will get happiness hereafter". At this the Prophet said to show a better prayer as in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 201: "O Allah, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us from the torment of hell". People of faith to make the world as a field for the hereafter. They seek to reach the world with reference to divine values​​.


Some literature mentions that one of the causes of lack of work ethic is a Muslim by mistake looking at what the world is and what it hereafter. Both seemed to be separated by black and white. This mistake contributed to errors in derivatives, the attitude toward wealth, and attitudes toward work.******

Reason #35: Because the work can avoid us from the hell punishment

At one time, Sa'd ibn Muadh Al-Ansari tells that when the new Prophet returned from the battle of Tabuk, he saw Sa'ad hands blistered, charred skin exposed blackish due to sunburn. He asked why the hand? Saad replied, because I was plowing with this hoe for a living family who became my expense. Then Prophet Muhammad Saad took the hand and kissed it and said: "This is the hand that will never be touched by the fire of hell". 

*****

Reason #30: Because the work will facilitate to get award

Benediction of Allah will be granted if the food, clothing, and home we live in is obtained from the lawful and good roads. How do I get it all? Of course the work is lawful.

To be able to treasure kosher can not laziness or just work in moderation. People say: "this time, look for treasure illicit difficult, let alone kosher". Mahatma Gandhi mark this seriously. There are seven social sins, he said, one of which is "rich without working". ****

Reason #29: Because workhorse will meet God with a face freshly

The one mentioned in history, that the person who has lawful and good profession, will meet Allah with beaming as the moon. Prophet said: "Whoever lives of the world seek the lawful and good, then he will meet Allah with a face beaming like the full moon". In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah, the Prophet said: '' Who's looking for the kosher world, to toil for the sake of family and love of neighbor, then on the Day of Resurrection Allah will raise a decent beamed moon full moon '. ***** 

Reason #28: Because work will erase the sins

Rasulullah SAW said: "Verily, between sin, no that can not be erased by (reward) prayer, sedeqah or Hajj, but may only be redeemed with earnestness in seeking livelihoods". Clearly, how high the working position in Islam, so that only by working hard (sincerely) a sin be blotted out by God. In a hadith of Rasul SAW said: "Whoever at night feeling exhausted from work during the day, then at night that he was forgiven by God". Further: "Whoever is a time when the afternoon feeling tired because work, work with his hands, then in the evening he was also the unforgivable sin". ******

Reason #23: Because sholat is equipped to run the life in the world

We most often hear and come to say: "prayer (sholat) is the pillar of religion". Remember: religion comes to affairs of the world and the hereafter. So, prayer is a pillar to the world as well the Hereafter.

Prayers cause physical and mental benefits as well. Psychological benefits of prayer is to provide tranquility and peace for those who do, as well as leads become disciplined. Prayer can also train the abilities of concentration, used to clean, and resting nerve. In the mental sphere, making prayer the Prophet Muhammad as a shelter and a resting heart as in his words: "It has been used as spaciousness ruhaniku be in prayer". Also in another hadith: "Let us find rest and peace with prayers, O Bilal ...". For social affairs, for example because silaturrahmi foster prayer performed in congregation.

Physical benefits are numerous. Research Dr. Abdurrahman Al-Umari get that a diligent prayer will get peace and tranquility in the soul, which indicated the balance of hormone production in the body, thus slowing the aging organs. In the prayer movement occurs stretching (stretching) that relaxes the body and blood circulation. With prayer we move more limbs, including the toes and fingers.

In his fervent prayer filled with love of God. Continuous sobriety repeated, embodied in the nature and behavior of polite, patient and understated. There is a spiritual and physical dimensions in prayer.
According to an expert, sitting tasyahud (al-qaadah or julus) stop the flow of the main blood vessels in the legs, so that the blood flow to the brain and other increases, and develop collateral circulation through the veins in the legs. At the time of standing, oxygen saturation by pulse limb 97-100 percent of normal. While sitting with the knee bending approximately 60 degrees, saturation dropped to 93 percent and eventually lost the pulse, saturation is not detected anymore. The main blood flow stopped completely. This results in more blood flow to the brain and vital organs as well as increased metabolism, so that we can work with high concentrations for longer. Blood vessels become more elastic, thus preventing clogging of arteries, veins and the complications of diabetes such as the decay of the foot due to vascular disorders. This seat movement imitated Ergonomic Lifestyle Club Tread Faith with the name "sitting burning".

According to Jameel Kermalli, so many rewards for those who pray. Prayer makes other deeds-deeds be accepted and deeds-deeds pole to the other. Prayers will add sustenance and away from diseases. That is why we are reminded that make prayer as helpers.

A study in the United States asserts, that prayer can give strength to the level of immune people who diligently execute against a variety of diseases, one of which is cancer. Research also confirms the existence of the spiritual benefits, physical and morals are great for people who are diligent prayer. Body of people who pray often contain copious amounts of immune proteins antarlokin. It is a protein that is associated with various types of diseases of aging, and affects the immune system, stress and acute diseases. The researchers believe that worship can menyugesti someone to be patient and resistant to various trials with a tolerant soul and pleasure.

In addition, there are some results of medical research that focuses on prayer movements, for example: ihram takbiratul movement berhasiat blood flow, lymph (lymph) and arm muscle strength. Movement helpful to maintain perfection bowing position and function of the spine (vertebrae corpus) as the body and central nervous buffer. I'tidal which is a variation of posture after bowing and before prostration is exercise good digestion.

At the time of prostration lymph flow is pumped into the neck and armpits. The position of the heart that are on top of the brain causing the oxygen-rich blood can flow up to the brain. Thus, it affects the flow of power fikir someone.


Sitting consists of two kinds, namely iftirosy (tahiyyat early) and tawarruk (tahiyyat end). The difference lies in the position of the feet. Both also have medical benefits. When iftirosy, we rely on the groin connected with nerve nerve ischiadius. This position is to avoid pain in the groin that often causes the sufferer was unable to walk. While sitting tawarruk very good for men because the heel to suppress bladder (urethra), male sex glands (prostate) and the channel of the vas deferens. If done properly, this movement will prevent impotence. *****

Reason #21: Because the world is to bridge into the afterlife (akhirat).

One of the causes of lack of work ethic is a Muslim by mistake looking at what the world is and what it hereafter. The implication is also mistaken in attitude toward wealth and attitude towards work. At the bottom of the world and the hereafter as a unified system. He was not interrupted. Working for the affairs of the world with earnest intentions and prosperity of the world life is not solely for the benefit of life in the world in the context of hedonic life, but also to meet the claims to the Hereafter. The world is a paddy field farming and for the life hereafter. The world is a place to emigrate to work, charity and worked as happiness stock afterlife.

So, the world is not to be despised. The World is the only container, tools, as well as bridges that we get to heaven. Therefore, to avoid asceticism, namely the views or attitudes that consider abstinence all the pleasures of the world and torture yourself to get close to God. Prophet Muhammad once said, that the people who provide food and other necessities for himself and his family better than the people who spend their time trying to worship without trying to earn a living for himself.


So, in essence, the world charity charity hereafter also. The world should not be denied because of the hereafter and the hereafter also concerned should not be denied his deep purposes of the world. Both should be given the same respect. Someone who works with oriented hereafter be secured life in the world. Whoever has a desire (ie the afterlife), Allah will suffice the life she wanted in the world. *****

Reason #18: Because The Work Is Also Really Jihad

Islam flattering high value work and hate against lazy. Prophet advised his followers to always pray every morning and evening in order to avoid spring fever. "O Allah, protect me rather than the weak and lazy". Prophet said: "Looking for sustenance is halal is obligatory for every Muslim". In another hadith mentioned: "Trying to find sustenance pray after the obligation after obligation of prayer". So high position looking for sustenance. Because of this, God reminds the obligation of prayer and work in one verse in surat Al Jumuah. Words of the Prophet: "Looking for halal sustenance is like a hero who fought on the battlefield and anyone who fell asleep exhausted because of work look for halal sustenance, God forgive his sins when he's asleep." On another occasion the Prophet said: "Looking for halal sustenance like jihad in the path of Allah."

Currently we are many that constricts the meaning of jihad. According to Said Aqil Siradj - lecturer of UIN Jakarta and Chairman of jihad PBNU- including build something for the good of many people, such as building roads, bridges, or hospitals. This is because Islam aspire to build tamaddun (= civilization) through science, technology, culture, and noble character.


This is also why people who pay for the widows and the poor is called like a fighter in the way of Allah, and those who always run like a prayer night without stopping or like a person who is always fasting without breaking. In another hadith reads commands: jumpailah God with filial to your parents. When you have done so, Samalah with pilgrimage, going to umrah, and jihad. Hadith narrated by Ahmad: "Do all of you like to tell me who I love very many are you and later on the Day of Resurrection sitting closest to me? When present simultaneously want to answer, then he said: "the good behavior '". *****

Reason #15: Because worship (ibadah) is the heart of Islam

In essence, every job is blessed by God and accompanied by a good intention is worship. Prophet Muhammad SAW said: "Whoever works for his wife, children through a lawful way, so for them the reward as those who strive in the way of Allah". In addition, another hadith reads: "Looking for work is fard after fard".


Worship is an act, a good deed mouth (words) or the actions of other limbs. Thus, worship is not as narrow as just prayer, fasting, zakat and hajj. Worship includes all physical activities, reasonable minds and souls; thus including seeking sustenance, seek knowledge, educating and raising children, earning a living for the family, even getting rid of the thorns off the streets. All motion that we run in 24 hours is worship, it must be worth  worship (ibadah). Let us not be confused with the affairs of the world or the hereafter, because all is worship that have relevance to the world at once to the afterlife. ***

Reason #14: because the first worship known in this world must necessarily be achieved with hard work

One of the first lessons form of worship of Prophet Adam to his children is offered sacrifices. And for that he should endeavor to provide the best sacrifice. Cain chose as a farmer and Abel as a breeder. Finally, because of the sacrifice of Abel considered better then the sacrifices accepted, and he mated with Iqlima contested. The victim accepted Abel because he gave the most fat sheep, nice and most powerful; not so with Cain.*****

Reason #13: Because hard work is the principle of Muslim life

A Muslim must necessarily earnest in the work by mobilizing the entire physical ability, mind, and heart. This is to actualize himself as caliph who should lead the world. Promise as the best race is not created by itself, but must be achieved, chased and pursued. Earth was created for a drudge, while the man is working on it. "He has created you from the earth (ground) and make you to growers " (Huud: 61). In essence, only the working man was able to humanize herself. Within Surat An-Najm: 39 mentioned that the success and progress of this earth humans dependent on its business. Much more he works the more he earned.

Work hard in Islam is to work earnestly accompanied with resignation to God Almighty. The work in question is working to exhaustion (Al Ghaasyiyah: 3). "Verily, Allah Ta'ala happy to see his servant struggling (fatigue) in finding halal sustenance". The Prophet prayed: "Allah! Give blessing to my people, the work done in the morning ". Love of the Prophet to the hard work demonstrated when he "kissed" the hands of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh-collar workers. Just work to your world as if you live forever and work for your akhirah as if you die tomorrow.

Prophet said: "Allah loves every believer who works for his family and not like a believer unemployment, both for the work world and the hereafter. Worship there are ten, nine of them in earning a living (work), and only in the ritual ".

Islam encourages his people to try to find the sustenance of life so that they become good and enjoyable. Earth, sea and sky there to be used lawfully. As Allah says in Surah An Naba: 10-11: "And We made the night as clothing. And We made ​​the day for livelihood ". Evening to rest and recharge during the day and devoted work force. Aisha narrated that the Prophet once said: "It's the most fun thing you yan enjoy is that it comes from the results of your own hands, your children come from what you produce". The Prophet also said: "Trying to get a lawful livelihood is an obligation in addition to other tasks that have required".


When asked whether the most good business? Apostle replied that a person with her own business and all selling good ". Apostle equip it with saying "Traders are trustworthy and true will be shared with the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection" ******

Reason #12: Because mahdhah worship is pole, and ghairu mahdhah worship is the house

To worship mahdhah, success is determined how the behavior after the service is run. For Haj called “Mabrur” - although no one could be sure - is when the practice of religion is better than before leaving for Mecca. After coming back he must be repented, constancy, and more obedient. Pilgrimage for him to be the starting point in the direction of goodness. Actions and behavior better than before the pilgrimage. Hajj which will Mabrur morals and noble character, polite and well mannered, good words, gentle, and the more spread out the benefits. Wherever his presence is always positive, needed, and expected. World affairs added Mutawari: “more ascetic, more cautious, more keep halal-haram, and the falsehood of truth”.

Prophet Muhammad when asked Mabrur signs Hajj, he answered with two things, namely happy to feed the poor and spread the greetings. See, this is both a symbol of caring and peace. Both are “ghairu mahdhah”.

The next example, for the affairs of Sholat (pray). Do not we often are reminded by the chatib: Prayer! In addition to prayer is a communication medium between the Creator and His servants and the media expressing gratitude, prayer will keep us from the lust demon. Takbir, bowing, prostration, and greetings; often mentioned merely followers pray, not enforce it. Prayer is called up when the culprit is more discipline in everyday life, more appreciative of regulation, more hygiene, more concentrated, and more pleased with the togetherness. Why is that? Yes, because then the prayers for the exercise towards him. Chaplain in the recitation of dawn, according to a priest, he said, “khusuk” not determined how to conduct prayers during prayer (from beginning until the closing), but how behavior afterwards.

In order to have referred to "establish prayer" there must be actual evidence. Not to mention the prayer if the lips are still full speech, for example lie, cheat, rough, like conflict, and so on. Yes, in the end we aim at is the social dimension of prayer. It was the intention of the letter of Al Ankabuut - 45: "true prayer restrains from acts of shameful and unjust". Prayer ends with greetings. It indicates that after communication with God, then he would produce a mere kindness to fellow human beings. As promised "hello" before he would act his manners with his best friend, neighbor or anyone else, to honor his full attention, and will act politely and berta'aruf with his fellow human being without distinction of class and religion. The better the prayer, the greater gait social life. More pious, happy to help, be loose, and a generous spirit.

Similarly with the creed. The content includes Shahadah testimony, pledge, oath, and promise. With the shahadah, we are obliged to uphold and fight for what we swore, willing to accept any risk due and in the practice of the oath, prepared and responsible for the establishment of Islam and the rule of Islam, and pledged allegiance to hear and obey in all circumstances to all the commands of Allah.

Dude, right shahadah is not how the accuracy and right when you spell it; but how to realize the promise and pledge earlier. True prayer is not only how the reading accuracy and khusuk, but how to realize the earlier obedience and compliance in daily life. Mabrur Hajj also not limited to how the completeness and husuk for Mecca, but how behavior after returning to their life. Like a mobile phone, mahdhah worship is when you charge the battery, but the main functionality is currently spoken mobile phones, sending SMS, and so on.*****

Work Is Essentially Worship in Islam


Etymologically, which is a branch of linguistics that studies the origin of a word, worship is taken from the word “abada”, “ya'budu”, “Abdan”, “fahuwa 'aabidun”. “Abid” means servant or slave, ie, someone who does not have anything. Himself belonged to his master. All activities of life slave only to obtain his master's pleasure and avoid his wrath. Body and soul for worship of Allah. Not created the stan and mankind except to worship to Allah (Adh Dzariyat: 56).

We know of two types of worship, the worship “mahdhah” and “ghairu mahdhah”, but it seems we often forget to differentiate and position it appropriately. This is fatal consequences. And this, too, which makes me compelled to write this book.

Worship “mahdhah” has four principles namely: existence must be based on the existence of arguments of the command, the procedure foloow patterned of Rasul SAW, supra rational or not the size of the logic, and principles on the "obedient". The purpose of this exercise of worship is for compliance or obedience servant. Physical obedience and liver. The implementation should not permuted, and not too creative. “Mahdhah” worship, often referred to as worship in the strict sense, is the activity or actions specified terms and “rukunnya”. Condition, manner, or order pre-determined stages. Through this worship intertwined relation of a servant to Allah, and avoid to the human relationship with itself and with other human beings. Worship “mahdhah” includes ablution Tayammum, bath hadats, azan, iqamat, praying, reading the Quran, I'tikaf, fasting, Hajj, Umrah, and organized bodies.

Meanwhile, “ghairu mahdhah” worship, in addition to having the dimensions of servant relationship with God, is also a relationship or interaction between slave with other creatures. Horizontal relationship with nature. The principles in this ceremony are: existence is based on the proposition that prohibits absence, the procedure not need a rigid pattern for example the Apostle, is rational, and the principles on benefits. As long as something helpful, it should be done. It is all good deeds for Allah SWT. Belonging to this group are all forms of kindness to living such as eating, drinking, making a living, and so on. Anyway everything outside of worship mahdhah mentioned earlier. Tenets of human interaction is the procedure that is run in earnest based on the Qur'an and hadith. If we are forbidden to worship mahdhah creative, in human muamalah strongly encouraged to be creative as long as not contrary to the established law.

Worship includes both. Do not be reduced only to worship “mahdhah”. Whatever activity all classified into the worship of God commands. Then, what is more important? In some ways he could be conditional. Did not the apostle accelerate prayers upon hearing the baby cry. Apostle praying while also opening the door for his guest. Congregational prayer can be postponed if there are guests, or if you're studying.

Worship “ghairu mahdhah” is muamalah categorized, although "only" horizontal matters relating to human relationship, should not be taken lightly. For business muamalah longer this time, and the challenge is difficult due to change-change according to place and time. If we trace the revelation period, after the verses pertaining to aqidah then connected with moral issues (mahdhah ghairu worship), and the last new about worship (worship mahdhah).

According to the cleric, actually muamalah regulated in Islam, but with God so loose. Worship muamalah can close mahdhah worship obligations, for example “fidyah” who are unable to fast. In contrast, social worship can not be replaced with mahdhah worship. Yes debts must be paid. If found guilty on the one must first apologize, not for mercy to God.


This chapter had departed from the concept of worship, which in my opinion seems like collapsible meanings. I have always dreamed of in a Friday how Chotib burning the spirit of the congregation to return from the mosque back to the workplace, work bloody murder, honestly, and get high yield. I dream when Chotib advices to us-we the people's love, or at least not feel harassed and ostracized because of too much work for a living.*****

Reason #11: Because Of The Hard Work Comes From Love


Soichiro Honda (born 1906) is a businessman famous car in Japan. When the first time Soichiro saw the car, he chased the car and managed to cling briefly behind him. When the car was stopped, the oil dripping to the ground, and he kissed the ground dibasahinya. That is "love". Since then in his heart the desire to someday make their own cars.

During his life as an inventor famous Honda. He holds more than 100 patents personal discovery. The first, is the discovery of the technique of making the radius of the metal car, because previous Japanese cars still use wooden fingers. Are work is always a success? Apparently not. He admitted that he made none other than the error, a series of failures and a spate sesalan. But he was never to repeat the mistakes and always try as hard as possible to improve myself.

Another example is the work of love in what is called the mental attitude of being "the best street sweeper". Martin Luther King Jr. once said, ... "If somebody called to be a sweeper, he should sweep it as well as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed the music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth to stop for a moment to say: Here lived a great street sweeper so, who did his job so well. "


In philosophy, the work is a fully human self-realization in this life. Seen from an economic standpoint, the work is a form of human interaction change the nature (nature) into culture. From the sociological side, especially Karl Marx, labor is the first where social relations work means work together. Work is the most basic of human existence in the realization of his life's history. Production work is the first history characteristics that make up the community as a social formation which then each have social relations that create social strata in the society. In essence, the work is base of this world. *****

Reason #07: Because Obedience Requires Careful Adherence To Physical

According to Max Weber, if the work was based call his soul, then he will excel beyond the others. Somewhat analogous to this, let me prove it with a body of work forms the simplest: a smile. Pretended to smile though, is still seen as an expression of the heart for the smiling. The smile turns 17 just rely on facial muscles, but the impact was huge. A number of advantages of a smile is the appearance becomes sweeter, more charming, more soothing, tension and avoid the disease. Normal heart will beat and blood circulation flowing well. Compare with a frown that requires 32 muscle pull, frowning takes 40 muscles, and angry need to move the 63 muscles in the face. This is the reason why people like sullen look old fast.

A smile can melt the emotions of people who are angry. Smile is a language of the world, is the inner jewelry that will complement imperfect, is a shortcut to express you love someone, is charity, and is a bridge of friendship. When we smile people will smile back to us. William Shakespere said: "What do you want, will be obtained through a smile faster than cutting with a sword". Another poet mentions: "That smile petals, laughing it a perfect flower blossoms."

When someone smiles, however these people are not happy, they will be issued a number of brain chemicals that not only boosts the immune system, but it also gives the ability to lift the psychological condition. From the research found, even though it is only instructed to show a smiling face, someone will get the same psychological benefits to people who truly smile. Conversely in the angry blood hormone adrenaline increases. As a result, rapid heart rate increases, blood pressure rises. If this happens frequently, hypertension, heart attacks, and other diseases will easily come. So angry would degrade the quality of the organs of the body.

Similarly essence of worship. By forcing our bodies to wake up early, foot ablution and morning prayers to the mosque, then about 75 trillion cells in our body are taught obedience to the Creator. It will make the heart - the non physical - follow obedience. God knows for sure the character. Obey is not enough just said on the lips.*****
