Balancing work and spiritual goals

molana, agla sawal dilli se hai miss sethi malhotra ka. unhon ne likha hai: being a working person, we are not able to give hundred percent, but at the same time we wish to qualify for the forward group of paradise. molana sahib, my question is: how can a person while working still aim for the forward group? bhai, working ka matlab kya hai? jab aap work kar rahe hain, tab bhi aap, yani psychologically, aap apne ko isi duniya mein rakh sakte hain. is ka matlab nahi jo jo job na kar raha ho, kahin door jayega to wahan paradise kaam karega. nahi, kuch bhi aap kar rahe hain, job kar rahe hain ya business kar rahe hain, kuch bhi kar rahe hain, isi mein aap ko paradise wali psychology mein jeena hai, paradise wali nafsiyat mein jeena hai,

isi mein jeena hai. yeh yeh farq nahi hai. islam mein yeh farq nahi hai ke jo job mein hai ya business mein hai, itni der tak woh alag hai aur phir us ke baad woh jab aata hai duniya mein to woh alag hai. har halat mein isi liye dekhen, sab se bada amal jo bataya gaya hai, woh kya hai? allah ki yaad. allah ki yaad sab se bada amal hai. to woh woh kaun kaun job hai ya kaun business jo rokta hai aap ko allah ki yaad se? kaun rokta hai? koi koi rokta nahi. aap farz kijiye ke aap ek glass ki ki industry khole hue hain, ek factory khole hain glass ki,

to aap dekhte hain ke yeh yeh yeh yeh aap jante hain, ek pathar hota hai jis ko khaas tarah ke process se guzarne ke baad woh glass ban jata hai. to aap us waqt dekhen ke kaisa ajeeb muamla hai allah taala ka ke nature mein woh cheez pathar thi. nature mein phir allah taala ne insan ko aisi technology batai, is technology ko apply kar ke woh pathar ko glass bana deta hai. to bas yahi to amal hai, yahi to jannat ka certificate hai. to kuch bhi aap kar rahe hain, kuch bhi aap kar rahe hain, kuch bhi aap kar rahe hain, aap computer par hain, computer par kaam kar rahe hain,

aap sochiye ke matter ko allah taala ne, yani insan ke liye yeh kaha hai ke matter move kar raha hai, matter hawa mein ud raha hai, matter insan information de raha hai, matter convert ho gaya hai computer mein. to kaisi ajeeb allah taala ki blessing hai ke sab kuch matter hi to hai. matter hi convert ho kar ke camera ban gaya, matter convert ho ke car ban gaya, matter convert ho ke hawa jahaz ban gaya, matter convert ho kar ke computer ban gaya. to kaisi ajeeb allah taala ki blessing hai insan ke liye ke us ne in aisi aqal di, aisa insan ko mind diya ke is technology ko woh daryaft kare, is technology ke zariye woh matter ko convert kar ke itni sari cheezein bana sake.

to bas yeh baat ho gayi, Allah ka zikr ho gaya aur jannat ka certificate mil gaya aap ko. to Islam mein dekhiye, dono cheezein alag alag nahi hain, dono cheezein ek saath chalti hain. okay, we will end the session now. thank you.
