Professions of the blessed Prophets

Dear Islamic brothers! Halal livelihood is not only a deed of excellence, besides many other Prophets’ it is also a beautiful Sunnah of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, therefore, it should be joined as a Sunnah. The blessed Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام joined different professions for their livelihood. Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Sayyiduna Aadam          عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام, first of all, used to do the work of cloth manufacturing, then he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام started cultivation. Sayyiduna Nuh عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام was in the wood profession, Sayyiduna Idrees عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام in dressmaking, Sayyiduna Hood and Saalih عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام in business, Sayyiduna Ibraheem and Sayyiduna Loot عَـلَـيْهِمَا السَّلَام in cultivation and Sayyiduna Shu’ayb عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام used to rear animals. Likewise, Sayyiduna Musa Kaleemullah عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام would graze goats and Sayyiduna Dawood   عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام would make armour (iron knitted clothing used in battles in the past). Despite being the king of the entire world, Sayyiduna Sulayman عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّـنَا وَ عَـلَيْـهِ الـصَّلٰوة ُ وَالـسَّلَام would make fans and small baskets (with lids) of date leaves and our Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would do trade. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 4, pp. 228)

Dear Islamic brothers! It has been learnt that the blessed Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام also did trade and industry to earn Halal sustenance. There is no doubt that the blessed Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام are free of every kind of evil and sin. If evils had to be committed in trade or it had any evil, then the blessed Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام would definitely not have joined it. As a matter of fact, evils and corruption are not in business, but rather they are in our own characters. For their prevention, Shari’ah has fixed the yardstick of permissible and impermissible and Halal and Haraam, so that no Muslim may become a victim of injustice nor could anyone be deprived of their rights. Therefore, those,
