I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

Earning a livelihood by following some profession is better than living on charity.
Let's try to become people of value.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was asked what type of earning was best, and he replied:

"A man’s work with his hands and every (lawful) business transaction."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said:

"Wealth is not due to plenty of money, but wealth is the wealth of the self."

"Forsake worldly pleasures, Allah will like you, and forsake what others have, mankind will like you."

"It is better for any of you to carry a load of firewood on his own back than to beg from someone else."

with permission: without putting religion into it
don't we all strive to do better?
work for a living , because earning our daily bread makes us feel like we're contributing to society and worthy of our place
it does not take religion to be a fine human being /does it?
