Social Worth — Social Esteem The problem for us is complicated because this world attracts us to influence us and get us to spend everything we made in the field before we get back home. As Muslims we can't allow that to continue. Our men have to bring that money home to momma. That is your religious duty and your need inside your life. We in Islam have to see business as an inherent need. By inherent we mean that it is part of our own nature and part of our own life. Our life needs that just like it needs to drink, to eat, to exercise, etc. For a sense of social worth and social esteem in your family and in the society, for a sense of personal achievement in your family or society, you need business accomplishment. You won't have that sense of fulfillment or personal worth or achievement unless you grow in business. We have to see business as an aspect of life. And that is the way it is for the economist and the business world. They know that, but they have made it the life. And that is why we are so oppressed. They have made making money and getting profit the life. It should never be the life. Al-Islam is always the life.
