MashAllah that is really beautiful Eco Savvy. All the well known sunni scholars also had their own trade! And as you mentioned earlier all the Sahaba as well.

 

It really is inspiring to get rid of the pleasure of this world for the next. And so beneficial for the people. Imagine if every person did this how much the world would be a better place.

I.E. if you earn money then spread it amongst your family members (living simply) and then amongst your neighbors and fellows muslims. MashAllah their would not be a homeless person left in the world if we all did this. And eventually one would not have to live simply any longer. Sadly so many people take advantage of others these days! And so many people with wealth are always yearning for the comforts of life that they forget where to find true happiness.
