\viewkind4\uc1\pard\ltrpar\lang1033\f0\fs28 In his youth, the Prophet (SAWA)tended tothe sheep of his family with pride. He said: "No prophet was sent by Allah unless he was a pasturer." He also said: "Moses was sent (as prophet) and he was a pasturer, David was sent and he was a pasturer, and I was sent while I was pasturing the sheep of my family." (1) There is no defect in laboring. It is honor and jihad; whereas meanness is in unlaboring and turning one's back to labor. (2)
\par During his work, the Prophet (AS) thought deeply of the creation of the heavens and the earths and everything in the universe. That made him more assured and certain about the
\par Creator of the universe and the Giver of life. This continuous thought and reflection encouraged him to resist the idols that his people worshipped in their deviation away from Allah.
