Its hard not to desire for things in life. I guess Allah is testing me. I will just raise my hands to him and ask for the best.

That is the whole test to throw away your free will and desiring everything except what pleases Allah. The more you do that, the more content you become. I know it sounds strange to not "desire" things, but that is the struggle we signed up for to be able to surpass angels.
 
Ok so i got the Job but no pay rise. How unfair. Whats the point of taking the job. Apparently they don't have the money so maybe at the end of the year.

La hawla wala quwwata illa billah, indeed Allah bring ups what people try to hide.

So you NEVER cared about job in the first place. This whole topic was nonsense that you even started it. All you were after was money in the end, not really the job. If you are so in love with money..there are a lot of other jobs..but not halal indeed.

I also feel like whats the point stying there but i really like the company and the hours.

Crying this whole time about the job, the company is good, the hours are good..all that comes down was MONEY..GREEN..MONEY!!..Sorry to say this sister, but people with your mentality i run away from. May Allah keep people with your mentality away from many other Muslims who hate such mentality.

This for other people to read, is what it looks like being ungrateful.

Why do people work hard so that they can earn more money and ofcourse progress? Why do people go to work to earn money? If it wasnt about money i would have done voluntary work anywhere? Please be mindful with your words as i feel your making me sound like a money hungry person. My point here was i got the job but no payrise -again the man the moved a year before got the payrise. Its unfair.

From post one you should have said clearly.

I person X, work 3 years at company X, i like the hours and the company. I WANT MORE MONEY..because i FEEL LIKE I DESERVE MORE MONEY!!.. You know what you deserve sister? You deserve a slap around your head.

You have no idea what Islam is about. We as Muslims deserve ****. We say ALHAMDULILLAH for everything we get. Try to let this sink in to your head, because the more you have this mentality, the more you will suffer in the sense of losing imaan and trust in Allah. The more you from the bottom of your heart say, Alhamdulillah, the more you will even get. But that is not for people who to easily apply to their character. It is for people who reflect and ponder. Such people and there are more than enough on this forum and in life i have seen, these people work on them selves. Read my signature.

"....Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves...." Qur'an 13:11

Why do you think i have that signature? CHANGE YOURSELVES, because this time getting the job, but going on this path it looks rather like the last thing you will end up is losing everything that this world and life has to offer in what is of some value..which is Islam. I am warning you, don't take this warning lightly.

Is this a case of gender inequality within the workplace o_0

Strange.

Reminds me of the time i got a promotion within six months of joining a company.

..and let go a few weeks after being promoted. :|

Strange strange days.

Nearly 10 years ago now but it is what it is.
..
..

Take it as a blessing and a chance to prove yourself.

Accept new responsibilities.

Show competence.

Show skill.

Make it your own.

...as you say, its progress.


Or being taken advantage off..

Whatever.


A new line on the c.v.

[MENTION=11215]simple[/MENTION] person your trying to say that despite working hard its ok if i dont get a paid promotion when others in the company do? Or it doesnt matter if im treated unfairly at work because thats what god has willed. I am very grateful to my lord for giving me what he has and what he hasnt. However, all im saying that sometimes its unfair that people get treated differently for age,race or on how social they are etc.


Never mind all i pray to my lord is that he gives me the strength and courage to work hard. After all he is the provider surely he will provide me with whats best for me.
 
Well, naturally, when you get a new position which requires more work/skills (does your require either?), it will usually come with better pay. If your working as much or even less in this new position versus your old one but like the new position more, look at that as a benefit despite not getting a raise. If you are in fact working harder but are getting paid the same, there is certainly nothing wrong with having a complaint in that case, imo. Unfortunately, when you work for other people, things tend to not always go your way unless you're part of the 'click'. I have way more responsibility than another guy in my department yet we both get paid the same. I don't complain because I'm gaining more experience than him which will make me more valuable once I decide to go somewhere else. Despite it being unfair, try to be patient and look at whatever positives this may bring to you whether now or in the future.

This part of Islam.."of me working hard so Allah NEEDS TO GIVE ME X, Y and Z. Allah doesn't owe you anything..even if you would work every single hour of every single day of the week.

This part of Islam many don't get. You think those eyes that you are able to read what I have typed was because "Allah owed you"?. You work and do your best. If Allah decides to give you more money you say Alhamdulillah. .if Allah decides that He does not give you more money you say Alhamdullilah. However this part you simply don't u de stand it even one bit.

Understanding comes from Allah not me. The question you rather should ask yourself..what is it that prevents that Allah gives me understanding of this mindset?. My guess is there is much you don't care about which is important In Islam or that you do care about which is not important in Islam. How do you find out what those things are.??

Reflect..reflect..reflect.
 
Thankyou All for the lovely advice :) i have decided to take the job and leave the pay issue in the hope that if its in my rizq to have more than i will and if its not then nothing i can do about that.
