*_The reward for hard work 1_*

What is the reward of hardwork? 

Promotion, compensation, salary increase, recognition???  

Amazingly all listed above are secondary rewards of hard work... Which may or may not be given or obtained... 

The true reward of hard work is simply *"More work"*.. 

Yes..  

More more more and more work...  This is what we get for been hardworking, dedicated and diligent..  

When your boss observes a potential in you, he/she just get u more engaged..  

You can cook, you will only cook more.. You don't complain when sent, you get more errands to run..  

You have good relationship with people, you are compelled to meet more customers..  

No wonder our sound scholars have little or no free time on their hands..

You may earn the same with others, yet you are more engaged and you do or carry out more task that may not even be in the job description or specifications on employment...  

This is the easiest and most common reward for been hardworking, diligent, dedicated, intelligent etc. 

Appreciate it when your boss seem to always call and engage u, it's your reward...  😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜

You become an important part of the establishment..  They simply believe in you and trust that you can work miracles.... 

Please do correct me if am wrong... 

But.. 

How does this relate to Islam..  

Will post that on part 2 before night falls in shaa Allah...

_*The reward for hard work 2*_

Assalamu alaikum warhamatullah wabarakatuhu..  

Hope this met u in the best of health and conditions..  May Allah subhanahu wa taala increase us all in imaan and forgive our shortcomings..  Aameen

If it is reality that the reward for hardwork, diligence and dedication is *"more work.."*

By implication, it may be understood that a sign that we are doing our best or doing the right thing at work, at home, and in any organization is that we are entrusted with more task or work to carry out..  

And your boss may be like..  "Do leave that, you do it later, come and do this first" .. Funny..  Even when you ain't the only one there..  

Anyways..  This is the reality.. It is applicable to our deeds..  

The reward for your good deed is with Allah azza wa jaal..  But, a sign that your good deed may have been accepted is that you do more of it..  

If you give in sadaqa for example, the more you give, the more you realize that people are in need and you just give more..  

No wonder the rasool salallahu alaihi wa salaam was more engaged in good deed than anyone..  Then the sahabas then the pious predecessors..  

They practically enjoyed good deeds hence they are rewarded with taking pleasure from more good deeds... 

The point is..   Worry beloved whenever you seem to slacken in good deeds, could it be that u are getting something wrongly...??  

Could it be that you need to place your intention on check?? 

🤔🤔🤔🤔

To ensure you are actually doing it for the sake of Allah azza wa jaal..  

Ramadhan is just nearly two weeks away..  

Do you sense the reward of your ramadhan..?? 

Are u engaged in more good deeds or you have reversed to where you left off before ramadhan..?? Or worse..  Wa iyya zubillah... 

When you read that the sahabas spend six months praying that Allah azza wa jaal accepts their ramadhan ibaadah..  

And additional six months that Allah subhanahu wa taala make them witness the next ramadhan..  

Meaning for the whole year round ramadhan is in their mind..  More work..  More work..  

So, where does this leave u and I??? 🤔🤔🤔

Ponder while you sleep...  

May Allah subhanahu wa taala accept our ibaadah during and after ramadhan and make us find pleasure in serving Him azza wa jaal.. Aameen Aameen Aameen Aameen Aameen
