VIDEO: How to Make Career Choices – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani


What is the best of work? It is the work by which the heart can say ‘I am content that I am doing in life that which is most likely to be most pleasing to Allah’.

Choosing A Career Path

How should a Muslim make career choices?

What does the “ideal job” look like for a Believer?

This video is an excerpt from the SeekersHub Toronto class ‘The Ethics of Trade Explained’.

In it, Shaykh Faraz Rabbani elucidates the importance of purpose, and concern for one’s community, for the Umma, and for humanity at large when choosing one’s work.

At each of these levels, people are in need of sincere service.

So, it is incumbent that one ask oneself: What are the unfulfilled needs of the Muslim community? How can I be of greatest benefit to Allah’s creation?

About ‘The Ethics of Trade Explained’

In this course, Shaykh Faraz comments on Imam Ghazali’s magnum opus ‘The Revival of The Religious Sciences’ (Ihya Ulum al Deen).

It is a rare opportunity to read the greatest and most comprehensive work ever authored about Islam in Arabic with English translation.

Currently, he is covering “The Book of Etiquettes of Earning and Living” (Kitab Adab al Kasbi wa’l Ma’ash), which focuses on how to conduct oneself in earning a living with excellence.

Alongside a traditional commentary of the text, Shaykh Faraz discusses its contemporary applications using real-life examples and issues.
