Money should be earned by any means

Dear Islamic brothers! The above-mentioned Madani pearls are great methods of increasing sustenance and for the progress of a country and nation. The blessed companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُم, pious predecessors and saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی possessed these attributes in every field of their practical life. For these blessed dignitaries the meaning of economic prosperity was not this at all in which no matter how much loss a country and nation suffers, no matter how poor a Muslim brother becomes financially, my financial conditions should be better, my personal property and wealth should be increased. They never tolerated this that they should consider other Muslims’ wealth the foundation stone of their property after making them penniless by any means whether permissible or impermissible, because those holy people would not accept today’s businessmen’s notion that ‘money should be earned by any means’, but they used to be true well-wishers of their Muslim brothers and used to consider the loss of Muslims to be their own loss. Therefore, keeping in mind the sayings of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and the practices of the pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی during business we should also awaken the passion for doing good to Muslims.

میرا دل پاک ہو سرکار دُنیا کی مَحَبَّت سے

مجھے ہوجائے نفرت کاش آقا مال و دولت سے

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
