What does Allah say about jobs?

Insights on Employment from Allah

Allah has a special appreciation for those who are gainfully employed. As narrated in Musnad Ahmad, anyone who diligently works to provide for their family and dependents will be rewarded in a manner akin to those who strive in the path of Allah.

Moreover, Bayhaqi emphasizes that a person who solicits alms without any genuine need is akin to someone grasping a piece of burning coal in their hand.
