Special presentation on 12 Rabi-ul-Awwal:- Teachings of the Prophet of Islam*

The laborer’s wages should be paid before his sweat dries

(Shibli Rampuri)

It is a very strange and regrettable thing of the present times that without thinking and knowing anything, many people start speaking nonsense about the Prophet of Islam. Actually, the reason behind this is that they do not have any information and they believe whatever they hear from here and there whereas the truth is completely opposite to this.

There are many people who think that the teachings of Prophet of Islam Hazrat Saheb are only for Muslims and he has given the message only for the welfare of Muslims, whereas this is not completely true because there are many such teachings of Prophet of Islam which are for the welfare of the entire human race. In which he has given a big teaching in favor of laborers and such a thing has been said in favor of laborers that if it is listened to seriously and implemented then probably no poor person will remain poor because most of the people remain poor because they do not get their wages. They are not paid for their hard work. There is a famous hadith (statement) of Prophet of Islam that the wages of the laborer should be paid before his sweat dries. If it is said in simple words, it means that a laborer who is working for someone, whether in a factory, or in any job, anywhere, if that laborer is working for someone, then his wages, his wages, his remuneration should be given to him before his sweat dries. Its simple meaning is that his wages should be given before he finishes his work so that he does not face any kind of problem and it is obvious that when a person gets his wages on time or before time, then not only will a passion to work be born in him, but he will also be very happy on getting his wages.

Now just think about whether this is happening. In fact, many such cases come up among the Muslims themselves where the labourers are not paid their wages on time. This proves that the teachings of Prophet of Islam Hazrat Sahib are not only for Muslims but they are for the welfare of the whole mankind and those who speak nonsense about him actually do not have knowledge and they are speaking so out of ignorance. If they will read about the Prophet of Islam, then they will know the reality that his teachings are not only for Muslims but are for the welfare of the whole mankind and will always be so.
