This presentation attempts to clarify the nature of 'Islamic Work' and inspire individuals to get involved in making this world a better place - since it is a divine obligation.
14. Surah Fussilat: 33
• • Who is better in
speech than one
who calls to Allah,
works
righteousness, and
says, "I am of
those who bow in
Islam"?
15. Surah Yusuf: 108
• • Say thou: "This is my
way: I do invite unto
Allah,- on evidence
clear as the seeing with
one´s eyes,- I and
whoever follows me.
• Glory to Allah! and
never will I join gods
with Allah!"
16. Surah an-Naml
• • Invite (all) to the Way of
thy Lord with wisdom
and beautiful
preaching; and argue
with them in ways that
are best and most
gracious: for thy Lord
knows best, who have
strayed from His Path,
and who receive
guidance.
20. And say: "Work! Soon will Allah
observe your work, and His Messenger,
and the Believers:
Soon will ye be brought back to the knower of
what is hidden and what is open: then will He show
you the truth of all that ye did."
