The Ethics of Earning a Livelihood

Chapter One

The Merits of Earning and Its Encouragement

In the Koran Allah, the Almighty said: “and We made the day for a livelihood.”
(Koran 78 verse 11) He mentions this to show His greatness to His worshipers.

And He High Exalted said: “We established you in the earth and made for you a
livelihood but little is it that you give thanks.” (Koran Ch. 7 verse 10) “…He knows
that among you there are the sick and others traveling the road seeking the
bounty of Allah” (Koran Ch. 73 verse 20) Allah, the High, the Exalted said:
“…disperse in the land and seek the favor of Allah,”(Koran Ch.62 verse 10)
