Dignity of Work

         Dignity of work is found in the noble example of our beloved Holy Prophet (S.A.W). He never asked anybody to do anything, which he himself would not do. He loved doing work for himself and for others with his own hands. He mended his shoes and washed his clothes and swept his room. He worked as a common man. When the mosque of Madina was being built. He carried mud and building material. During the Battle of Ditch he joined his companions in digging the ditch around Madina. The Holy companion of the Prophet also set good examples in this regard. Hazrat Abu Bakar (R.A) not only did his own work but also fetched water for widows and the weak and old neighbours. Hazrat Umer (R.A) once carried on his shoulders a heavy sack of flour for a needy family. Hazrat Ali (R.A) worked in the garden of a Jew and distributed his wages among the poor as a charity. Syeda Fatima (R.A) fetched water, grounded corn and swept her house. Caliph Omer bin Abdul Aziz refused to employ a servant to help his wife. Caliph Mamun-ur-Rasheed served his guests. Sultan Nasiruddin earned his bread by making caps and the great Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb transcribed Holy Quran to earn his living.
