There're only two such professions to which no respectable person likes to send for training. One of them is that of Kanjars (prostitutes). Can any of you name the other one to which only mentally crippled children or those who are good for nothing else are sent.

Hint: In all those societies where these two professionals grow, become very corrupt and backwards.

A few more hints:

This is a highly paid profession. They get paid more than the prostitues on most of occasions. Sometimes, they're paid more than the doctors just for performing a few minutes service on important ocassion.

They get special training in institutions. However, parents don't like to send their normal or intellegent children to these institutions. Only those students are sent who can do nothing else.

I have a feeling that the reference is to psychologists and psychiatrists.

However, I think that is one that needs to be clarified a bit more, as psychology as a science is a new science and bears no resemblance to the old field of psychology which was a field of philosophy.

Some "therapists" still use the name psychologist although they have no training in psychology and are often sometimes very metaphysical and substitute as a religion.

No. Parent would love to make their children as psychiartists or psychologist. These are among the top rated professions, one of the 1st choice for the brilliant students.

This is the case being a pirate, at times, when we Dig up treasure, we make way more than doctors.

You're right most Muslims get very sentimental when some facts are given about the religious scholars. But it's a fact that no Muslim parents wish to send their intellegent and useful children to madrisas. Making a mullah out of their children is the last choice.

If only a few of em are like that then this profession wouldn't be like this. Parents make wise decision about their kind for not sending them to this profession on some reasons. Public opinion about them is not like this just because of of the bad elements. It's because of their overall impact on society. There're few bad elements in every profession including the doctors, but profession of doctors is still one of the highly respected professions.

That's not true. I'd be happiest if my son became a scholar, inshaAllah. I have already told him that Islamic education is better than any degree you will ever get. It's not as though he won't be able to earn a living out of it.

Btw, are we any nearer to guessing the answer?

Then how do you think your son should earn his living? You mean to say that you wish your son to only get a lot of islamiyat education but he shouldn't adopt it as a profession?

Yes?

So this is what I'm saying. No parent want's his children to become a professional religious scholars. Nobody want their children to make money by selling body or iman. That's why the two professions that sell body or iman are not considered as presctable professions.

Then go ahead, no one is stopping anyone. I hate that fact that whats being said is you cant have a "clean" profession whilst being an Islamic Scholar. Being good in the deen will InshAllah only make u good in what you do because the person has full trust in Allah and His Mercy. I have nothing against it. Its the best profession because you will only recieve more reward in the end. I dont see whats better than that. Just because everything is expensive doesnt mean you cannot live a simple life. Its up to the person to control him/herself on useless stuff. Thats one of the tests for us. Not loving this Dunya over the real gift, which is the Akhirah.

Oddly enough prostitution is considered a very honorable and respected career in some cultures. There still are a few cultures in which parents do want their daughters to grow up to be prostitutes at least until they marry.


Although that is not the view of any of the monotheiestic religions nor of modern western culture.

This is not my personal opinion that this is one of the worst profession. This is a general opinion of all wise parents. They may or may not send their children to learn/memorize Quran, but they don't want to make mullahs out of them Even the religious parentsl want their children to be engineers or doctors or some other honorable profession. They send them to lean Quran but like them to be engineers or doctors not the professional religious scholars. This is one of the two worst professions to which any parents would like their children to adopt. Only the prostitues like their children to adopt prostitution as a profession, and same goes for mullahs.

I said it's not as if he CAN'T earn a living out of it. He can open Islamic education centres/schools etc. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) instituted salaries for muslims soldiers, because they needed to earn a living. That doesn't mean they were selling their imaan fighting for islam. Imaans and Mu'addhins (callers to prayer) were also given salaries. Were they selling their imaan?


So this is what I'm saying. No parent want's his children to become a professional religious scholars. Nobody want their children to make money by selling body or iman. That's why the two professions that sell body or iman are not considered as presctable professions.
Brother, earning money based on religious occupations does not amount to selling one's imaan. The meaning of 'selling one's imaan' implies tricking and deceiting people, e.g. compromising one's imaan for material/personal gain.

I don't know how you can put religious scholars in the same bracket as prostitues. Na udhu billah!

And better still, used their dunya skills for sake of Allah (e.g. Abu bakr, a rich person, spending most of his wealth in casue of Allah... same with the other top sahabah, zayd in field of poetry etc etc)

This is not something new. This profession was never considered a respectable profession. I remeber the times when somebody called mullah to someone, he'd get annoyed. It was a like a dragatory term and many people still don't like to be called a mullah. There're some valid reasons for this. Only thing we don't try to find out these reason because swe're made sentimental about Islam by them.

In my view the following,
Prostitution - Prostitution is legal in many countries of the West; permits and licenses are issued to those who ply this trade, and prostitutes enjoy rights similar to other professionals. Islam absolutely rejects and condemns this practice, and forbids any female, free or slave, to earn money by selling her sexuality.

"...And do not force you slave-girls into prostitution if they desire chastity, in order that you may seek the pleasures of this world's life..." (24:33)

Dancing and Other Erotic Arts - Similarly, Islam does not permit sexually exciting dancing or any other erotic activity, such as suggestive or obscene songs, provocative dramas, and every type of rubbish which some people today term "art" and "progress".
The fact is that Islam prohibits every sort of sexual contact and sexual relationship outside marriage. This is the secret behind the significant words of the Quran prohibiting fornication and adultery (both of which are known as zina in Arabic).
"And do not come near zina; indeed, it is an abomination and an evil way" (17:32)

Making of Statues of living things.

Selling Alcohol or any type of intoxicants (drugs - cannabis, marijuana, cocaine opium and so on).

Also I would say becoming a lawyer to practice man-made laws. Joining the police force to uphold and re-enforce the man-made laws.
Only Sharia Law is prescribed for Muslims.
Any sort of business that deals in Usury (Interest charged or given on money).
May Allah SWT protect us from Haram professions.

When corruption is witnessed in any profession over a noticable period of time, people begin to hold negative views about it and tar every person associated with it in bad light. So it is not surprising that some parents do not wish their children to persue a career that is seen as dishonest and undisciplined.

However, I do think with the considerable amount of media coverage given to prominent scholars like zakir Naik, the Late Ahmed Deedat and others, on islamic TV channels, the negative view about scholars is changing rapidly. Hopefully this will change the somewhat distorted view about religious scholars and inshaAllah more parents will start encouraging their children towards this noble profession.

Islam absolutely rejects and condemns this practice, and forbids any female, free or slave, to earn money by selling her sexuality.

"...And do not force you slave-girls into prostitution if they desire chastity, in order that you may seek the pleasures of this world's life..." (24:33)

Dancing and Other Erotic Arts - Similarly, Islam does not permit sexually exciting dancing or any other erotic activity, such as suggestive or obscene songs, provocative dramas, and every type of rubbish which some people today term "art" and "progress".
The fact is that Islam prohibits every sort of sexual contact and sexual relationship outside marriage. This is the secret behind the significant words of the Quran prohibiting fornication and adultery (both of which are known as zina in Arabic).
"And do not come near zina; indeed, it is an abomination and an evil way" (17:32)

Making of Statues of living things.

Selling Alcohol or any type of intoxicants (drugs - cannabis, marijuana, cocaine opium and so on).

Also I would say becoming a lawyer to practice man-made laws. Joining the police force to uphold and re-enforce the man-made laws.
Only Sharia Law is prescribed for Muslims.
Any sort of business that deals in Usury (Interest charged or given on money).
May Allah SWT protect us from Haram professions.
Well Said! :)
Mashallah!

Yes. This is one of the reason. They only provide the lip service about Islam but don't practice Islam in their lives. They practice only the fundamentals of Islam properly. This is all what they want everybody else to do. They say that to do some useful work (for money) is not good in this world. They term working as worldly affairs. The fact of the matter is that everybody has to work in order to make a respectable living. Therefore, this is one of the reason that their profession is not considered as respectable. Moreover, what ever funds or money they get in the name of Islam, they don't provide any accounts. They react badly if someone asks them to show the accounts. They say that we're accountable to Allah only.
