Every deed of muslims, should
be for the obeying and approval of Allah and His messenger (PBUH). Due to
divergence from the Islamic doctrines, disobeying of Allah and His messenger (PBUH),
today more or less every person is stuck in problems by some means. Main of them
is the shortage of income and unblessingness (Bebarkati) of livelihood (Rizq).
Today may be any home look protected from this problem. The main cause of short
livelihood is only our bad deeds what has been described in the Soora-a-Shoora
that “and what the trouble you get is due to that reason what your hands earned
and Allah forgives very much”.
It is spoken by common observation that we are inclined to adopt the difficult
sources to solve our problems but our mind does not go to see the easy ways to
get the ‘Barkat” in our livelihood. For one who seeks the Barkat, it is
necessary that first he know the causes of un-blessings and get rid of it.
If we see around us, we might hardly find any home escaped from the dishonor of
livelihood. More homes would look so as where the peoples have no guilt feeling
over dishonor of livelihood. The people living in, from marvelous bungalows to
narrow cabins look stuck in this disobedience and carelessness. From marriages
and other parties to the time of dish washing how much quantity of curry, rice
and breads are drained out we all know and usually we overlook this cause of
shortage in the livelihood.
Ummul Momineen Hazrat Ayesha Siddiqua (RA) tells that “while the ruler of Madina
(PBUH) came to his cabin, saw a piece of bread, lifted it up cleaned, ate and
then said “ Ayesha, respect this good thing, this thing (bread) did not came
again there from where it has moved”.
There are many reasons except dishonor of livelihood which cause for the
shortage of un-blessingness i.e. the habit of much sleeping (it also creates
illiteracy), doing sins specially telling lie, calling parents with their names,
not caring for lifting the food grains from the underneath, leaving the garbage
in home, laziness in performing prayers, eating without washing hand, delaying
in eating although food has been served, not cleaning to the eaten plates,
leaving uncovered the plates from which ate and most important of them, eating
without saying Bismillah. The religious scholars say that increased nails are
also the cause of shortage of livelihood.
Frequently people complain that the shortage of livelihood is so severe that the
quantity of grocery which last by the month end now finishes at the middle of
the month. If it would be seen carefully it will be known that people are
unmindful to the Sunnet of saying Bismillah before they eat. Syedina Huzaifa
(RA) tells that Huzoor (PBUH) said “On which food, the Bismillah is not cited,
the satan gets along with it” (Sahee Muslim) so as the same way, this is quite
clear from it that if Bismillah is not cited, the blessings (Barkat) lives
going.
Once Abbasid caliph Mamoon Rasheed invited to Hadba Bin Khalid (R.A.) to his
home. During the feast whatever the food grains were fell on the underneath, he
used to eat lifting them. Mamoon asked astonishingly “Ye Sheikh! Your belly
didn’t fill so far”. He said “ why not, Hazrat Hammad Bin Salma has told a
Hadith to me that “ One who eat lifting the fallen food grains will have never
face the shortage of income” I am acting upon this Hadith”. Listening that
Mamoon was highly impressed and called to servant who brought one thousand
dinars tied in a handkerchief. Mamoon presented it to Hazrat Hadba Bin Khalid.
Hazrat Hadba Bin Khalid said Alhamdollilah the blessing of acting upon Hidth
appeared quickly.
Most often it has been listened to people that “the boost is going to happen in
the wealth of haram accepting and spending life full of sins’ person’s wealth”.
In this regard understand that it a dangerous trick of devil. If you think in
this way, so only non-muslim and pagans are seen as per worldly success. The
acquiring of worldly wealth and success in spite of non-believing and sins is
not due to privilege, so muslims should solve their problems according to the
light of Quran and Hadiths instead of sticking in evil doubts. If we try to
solve our problems according to the saying of Allah and His messengers (PBUH)’s
orders then we must be successful to acquire unlimited benefits of this world
and hereafter.
