Kamyab Tajir Kay Ausaf

Book Name:Kamyab Tajir Kay Ausaf

Dear Islamic brothers! Our pious predecessors, like the noble companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ, would deal with their personal and business affairs with truthfulness, honesty, fairness, piety, favour, goodness, sacrifice and wellbeing.

The more needs people have, the more difficult it becomes to fulfil them. If an individual was to fulfil all his needs on his own (e.g., farming, harvesting, sewing his own clothes, etc.), he will be unsuccessful. He will not be living his life in ease. Hence, it is the wisdom of Allah that He divided people into different professions and groups, so that every group performs its own task, and everyone’s needs can be fulfilled through everyone’s collectiveness. For example, someone farms and another sews
