(Muhammad Hafeez, Lahore)

Iron when not used gets rusted, similarly if a man does not work gets rusted.

If you are seeking for knowledge then, you have to work hard. If you need nutrition then for this hard work is the main condition. If you want happiness, then for this also you need hard work.

The status of hard work is like law, its commitment leads to success. If you do any good work do it slowly. How low grade a flower is, you grow it. Hard work of any grade it is always superior and sacred. Your big deeds are your only supplication in Allah’s court. If you work honestly then you will get excellent rewards. Always remember, hard work will lead to success in your goal. Without hard work your intelligence, no use. I won’t tell people to become a skilled man, but do hard work. Do hard; work with all your heart, with honestly, then you will get your destination without hard work, expecting reward is self deception. Sitting idolling will give you nothing. There is no way of fantasizing anything. Building castles in the air will not give you anything and you will only make mind houses. Many people come to me and consult me regarding the skill of their children. I always give the advice of work hard to their children, as only hard work can give him success in his work. This is absolutely right. Iron when not used gets rusted, similarly if a man does not work gets rusted. Blessed are those people who are provided with some skill, he should not go astray. He has work to do, which is his aim, life is only hard work. Do! Do something! Do something and show! If you work is low then he should not think like that. Do this work with hard work. Success lies in that, so do it with truthfulness.
