Job and low income

My dear sister, As-salamu `Alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!).

We are pleased to have you in Alukah, and we invoke Allah (may He be Exalted) to make us a reason for guiding you to what is beneficial to you and to all questioners, for He is All Hearer, All Responding.

I would like to refer to your good qualities which are quite obvious in your message. Of these good qualities are your fear of Allah by choosing a suitable work environment, maintaining the trust of your father, your persistent endeavor to support your mother and brethren, your feeling of responsibility toward them, in addition to your well thinking of Allah (may He be Exalted).

Those qualities are in your favor and I hope that you promote and preserve them because they are important pillars in the success of man in all walks of life.

My dear sister, the problems which face man wherever and whenever he is are indispensable whether you face enviers, ignorant, or others. Many people often resort to leave the place to those people, thinking that changing the place will bring them comfort, which will be correct in some cases but rather necessary.

However, the most correct is to find a wise way to deal with those people so as to reduce their harm because a person cannot direct their harm away all the time. So, a person adapts with his environment whether this environment is work, study, neighborhood, or anything else.

Thereby man gains experience in dealing with different types of people and behavior. Such experience will be his weapon to face future situations, moreover a person shall enjoy the qualities which his job or work provides him.

Furthermore, moving from one place to another is not a guarantee that the coming problems are beatable.

Dear Muslim sister, I do not rebuke you for leaving your first job but I advise you to keep your future work because you still in the beginning of your practical life, and whenever your experience expands, the less pressure you shall face in work.

As for now, you cannot find an opportunity except in teaching, so I advise you to depend on Allah and start over beginning with the nearest place to your home and the place which will give more qualities.

Although your salary shall be low, it is enough for you and your family, at the moment, and prevents you from consuming your inheritance, which is a good way in preserving that money.

You can also search for another work besides teaching such as translation, courses or lessons in English language, or any other work that will not take all your time.

Moreover, by little economic view, you may save some money even if it is little because after a while you shall have enough money to start your new project or at least do the first steps.

Finally, I conclude with supplicating Allah to open the gates of sustenance to you and to your family, for He is All Hearer, All Responding. Looking forward to hear from you.
