Question:
AssaIamualaikum!
May Allah s.w.t increase the darja and maqam of beloved Shaykh Nazim al Haqqani and Shaykh Hisham Kabbani!
I work in a call centre where I attend calls from different countries and have to provide them distorted information in order to sell products and meet my targets or else I would be thrown out! I am working here because this is the only profession where I can make good money with the educational qualification I have. I attended a session of Imam Ghazzali’s Ihya where the Shaykh was talking about some blessed profession..and one of them was dealing with Iron and other metals. I am very much interested in learning a skill of welding!
I would like your suggestion Ya Shaykh on this if I should go ahead with this or not.
With request of dua…your most weakest mureed !!
Answer:
`Alaykum Salam,
It is better to look for a profession where you are sure that you are being honest, since the believer does not lie. You can start learning a craft such as welding but at the same time you can also find a profession where you “can make good money with the educational qualification” you have, without cheating people.
