working to live
too young to think about work yet lol

So if there was a choice between getting a job and scrounging of Social Security, scrounging wins hands down? No wonder Muslims are in a state that they are in!Salaama Alaykum,
To answer your question, I picked working to live. No one chooses to have a job, it's a necessity.
W/Salaam

Work is a duty! work is Ibadah!
I didnt get ur point doorster...
" No one chooses to have a job, it's a necessity "
So far as the above point goes, very simply, its wrong and i dont agree with it.
Note: my choice is 'working to live.'

There was no deliberte intention to do that!You are taking what I said way out of context. What I meant was, if people didn't have to work to live in a stable home and not just to 'get by' then I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't be such busy-bodies.
My point, sister, is that working is very important for many reasons, whether one needs the money to live on or not, whether one is doing a paid job or not.
Go to cyber counseling forum and read a few threads to see those boys and girls who are asking, please help me, I going to kill my self if my mama wont let me marry that white brother or from a boy who says oh please find me a justification so that I can masturbate and other such rubbish from Idle lay abouts.
In an earlier post I gave example of my child who has 2 jobs over 6 days thus has no time or energy left for thinking of novel ways to commit sins.
also gave example of Br. Woodrow (retired) who works here on this site, I've seen him online more than 10 hours a day some times. but does he have to or needs to do it?
There is another American brother named Yusuf Estes who has not stopped working after retirement and is busy distributing books and videos for free
"Living to work"? I think that is only applicable to robots and machines.
Hi S.A.Wow...what a response to my first ever Poll :thumbs_up :enough!:
GUYS..
Its no question.
Just what you are think or do ..live to work? or work to live?
I thught it was very simple and short.:-[
Hi S.A.
Actually, there more I think about it, the more profound your question seems to become.
I don't think I can answer yes to either of your questions.
'Living to work' seems to indicate that there is only work, work, work, and seemingly no time for oneself. There may be odd days when I feel like that, but not very often.
'Working to live' seems to indicate that somebody only does his/her work to earn a living. I don't feel like that about my job. Most of the time I love my job.
Really, the more I think about it, working and living are very closely connected. I suppose I don't just mean paid work - I mean daily jobs, such as preparing food and cooking, shopping, helping each other, learning etc.
Life without work would be quite meaningless ... perhaps life even is work.
So my own answer would be 'I live and I work, and both is good'
