Madness of Fame

(Syed Manazir-ul-Haq, Karachi)

Today the tendency of off-work, to have desire to be famed without any achievement and labor and go-ahead from others has laid down the negative effects on our social life as well as in our society. Now the people without acquiring the familiarity and know-how of the essence of any profession and discipline begin to claim of expertise over it. Why is it happening in our country? It is observed that neither any appropriate research work is being carried out in our country which is the distinction stone of the developed countries nor the literacy contribution being created which was specialty of our predecessor nature and through which they made a lot of inventions / creations which made them immortal phenomenon as they shed their perspiration according to the teaching of Allah and His Prophet. Consider how the tendency of carelessness and idleness is grown in our social life. In the golden age it happened that a person who entered into any sector he became sincere to his profession and worked hard with passion and in the long run achieved the expertise figure according to the saying “My words are unchallengeable and renowned”. But in the existing period a short group but influential and active begin to consider his right to be ahead in all sectors of life by adopting the short path whether it is lawful or unlawful rather making name with work hard, with honesty and by shedding perspiration. Because this section is rich and has resources being seen them well-to-do the middle and lower middle class who are in fact belonged to labor-oriented class have left to shed perspiration which is disastrous to our Homeland. Now we are witnessing that the habit of labor is being wiped out leading to laziness and absconding from work and without getting expertise and skill in any discipline we want to be praised and famed. We will have to leave the tendency of madness of fame without achievement and also to give up laziness as well as absconding from works because work-hard and shedding perspiration has been prerequisite of the Muslim and through this passion they achieved a lot of success.

The fate of the nation cannot be changed unless they themselves want to change it by adopting the ways as instructed by Allah and His Prophet. We should not work for getting praise but to work to fulfill our responsibility and obligation and give up to build castles in the air. It is necessary to construct ourselves on sound foundation by way of faith, assurance and perspiration and to say good-bye to self-posing, self-praising and laziness. If it is become our temperament it would be the mood of our nation and Insha’Allah our nation would be admitted as the best and developed nation in the world.
