Earning a Halaal Livelihood

Written by

Allah Ta‘ala has created man for the sole purpose of worshipping Him and fulfilling His commands. However, in order for man to fulfil this obligation, he will need to eat, drink and sustain his life in the world. Hence, Allah Ta‘ala has allowed man to earn a halaal livelihood, as this will assist him in fulfilling his primary purpose in the world.
