Friends of Steemians, currently most of the Indonesian people find it very difficult in making a living, even though our country has abundant natural resources, but in reality its existing natural resources do not guarantee the welfare of the people of Indonesia. Welfare is represented only by officials, both executive and legislative. While the people remain in his suffering.
With such a Morat Marit situation, there is an argument in society that states "today is very difficult to earn a living, let alone the lawful, the haram is hard to ask forgiveness".
It's just a half-joking statement coming out of the mouths of lower-class people. While for those who occupy certain positions in the government of course will not be a little trouble in obtaining income, both kosher and haram.
But we need to remember that we as Muslims should not at all seek for sustenance in unlawful ways, because this will not only harm us in the afterlife, but also will harm us in life in the world. Because of the ill-gotten sustenance we will spend to our families at home, will be eaten by our children and wives, and the food of the ill-gotten sustenance will be their blood and flesh. Of course this will have a negative impact on our children someday, the ill-gotten sustenance will make them have a character and a bad mindset, will make them easily fall into disobedience.
Many of us notice events in society, children who are fed by their parents with unlawful sustenance will be very easy to fall into a negative life, taking drugs, free sex and engaging in various criminal acts that disturb the public.
As hard as anything life is, we must keep trying to find a lawful sustenance. Although the result is little but gets blessings and Rida from Allah SWT, which will bring happiness to the world and the hereafter.
So many of my posts this time may be useful.
