Question
I want to ask you a question. I did four years of Dars-e-Nizami, did Hifz of the Holy Qur’an, have been learning and giving lectures of holy Book, have given lectures of whole Qur’an, and have been reading and speaking on so many topics of Islam since my childhood.
I want to spend my whole life in reading, researching and spreading on Islamic topics. How could I do that? And secondly how could I finance my home if am involve in this activity?
Answer
Earning a livelihood is a natural part of the scheme of life that we have been put through. In adult age we must pursue the career in which we have been trained and educated and devote our spare time to such pursuits as religious preaching, reading and instruction.
We have to spend our lives as per the circumstances and opportunity afforded to us by God. If some one can sponsor you in this adult age for religious education and instruction then of course this is something which can be counted as your supreme good fortune. If this is not available, then you have to make the best out of the opportunities and time that is available to you. This in fact is a trial from God which we must face wholeheartedly.
