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."

@YesNoMaybeSo Thank you for your comment. I agree with you. There's good in human beings regardless of which faith/religion they belong to. We don't become good automatically just by accepting a religion, but by striving to better ourselves. However, the message of Islam is not exclusively for Muslims, but for mankind as a whole. There are morals installed in people naturally, and Islam confirm and encourage them.

"I have only been sent to perfect good moral character."

~ The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.

I find my inspiration in my religion. It teaches me how to be a better human being, and this is how I, personally, improve myself.
