THE ART OF TRADE CRAFTMANSHIP AND WORK IN ISLAM THE WHOLESOME WAY TO FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE

IMĂM ABU BAKRAL-KHALLAL [D.311HI

Alläh, the Most High said: "And We have made the day for [seeking] a livelihood." Surah al-Naba' (78):11

The Messenger of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى said: "No one has ever eaten better food than that which he has earned by working with his own hands. The Prophet of Allah, Dawd (David), used to eat from the earnings of his manual labour." Sahih Al-Bukhari # 2072

Know, O Muslim, may Alläh have mercy upon you, that in Islãm, the concept of earning a livelihood through honest work is not just recommended but is highly encouraged, highlighting its role as an essential part of living a responsible and beneficial life. Seeking provision and engaging in business, trade, or craftsmanship is viewed as praiseworthy and beneficial to one's family and the community at large. For this reason, the book before you is an important work highlighting the importance of earning a wholesome living and working to build a better future.

The author gathers verses of the Quran, sayings of the Messenger of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى, statements and actions of esteemed scholars of Islam and narrations from the early generations that emphasise the value of business, trade and work and warn against those who abandon it and sit idly. Working, trading, and mastering a skill is a mark of a believer - by which not only does one benefit themself but benefits society, aids Islam and the Muslim community.

Imăm Abü Bakr Al-Khalläl, may Alläh have mercy on him, was a great scholar of Islãm. He gathered knowledge in various fields of Islamic sciences. He travelled far and wide to gather the knowledge of Imãm Ahmed. He is the author of many scholarly works and he dedicated his life to collected the legal rulings of Imãm Ahmed were ever he could find them.
