الله کرم ایسا کرے تجھ پہ جہاں میں

اے دعوتِ اسلامی تری دُھوم مَچی ہو

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب       صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Despite being the Imam of all the blessed Prophets, our Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was so humble that he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used to actively participate in the household chores.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa’eed Khudri رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has stated: The Beloved Prophet      صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would do his household chores himself with his own blessed hands. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would eat a meal sitting with his servants and would help his servants with the household chores. (Ash-Shifa, vol. 1, pp. 132)

Our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی were also devoted to acting upon the Sunnahs. Therefore, with the passion for acting upon the Sunnah these great people would also do the household chores happily with their own hands. Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: A Taabi’i saint said: I saw the leader of the believers, Sayyiduna ‘Ali-ul-Murtada کَـرَّمَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی وَجۡـھَـهُ الۡـکَـرِیۡم buying meat for one dirham and took it in his shawl. I humbly said: O leader of the believers! Please give it to me, I will carry it. He said: No, the person who has a family should carry his own goods. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 3, pp. 1050)

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Sadr-ush-Shari’ah was a lover of the Beloved Prophet and used to remember the pious predecessors. Therefore, despite being busy day and night with Islamic activities, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه did not feel embarrassed to carry out household chores, rather, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would carry them out happily with the intention of acting upon the Sunnah. Furthermore, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would peel and cut vegetables and also carry out other chores.
