Profession vs creed and color

People keep asking, (saying, by-the-way) about profession of forefathers or perhaps, they taunt about what they were doing to earn their livelihood; working masonry or carpentry, blacksmith! My Advice is introduce yourself, open up yourself, then ask other person to do so. Given that is truth, I am proud of them who worked in severe hot and cold weather to earn Halal (honest) livelihood, and not like we people working in office; where temperature is maintained and employer pays regularly; do we put enough work honestly into the hours we are paid???? I want to tell the questioner and the fitna person behind him. You have picked up a bad word, if it was something good, why the person behind you did not ask me direct. I will never put such an unethical question on anyone; Neither for salaries, nor for age. Professions are adopted in which you can show your talent to the employer who pays you for work done. Children from find creeds and colors are forced by circumstances to work at gas stations, cycle repair shops, or restaurants. If you have been in touch with your loved-ones in the background, you will find them doing jobs;--you will abruptly say; No, No, they are not your relatives; they are acquaintance. When you have YOUR PURPOSE, you will marry your son or daughter in that acquaintance family.

To find out facts I put this question in turn to myself, and I asked for Allah’s guidance, it was revealed that from a toilet to a house, mosque, church, temple, God’s house, mosque of the prophet (pbuh) and the mosque Al-Aqsa; all worked consists of masonry and carpentry. People involved have been from various families (in creed and color). They adopted this state-of-the-art and improved and developed, searched and produced fired bricks; blocks, showed their works in large bridges, domes, wonders of the world; towers, the forts in remote areas, the Taj Mehal, mausoleums, ready-made roofs, large span roof without pillars, wall-panels, and their work has been recognized and is now called “civil engineering” for which people of different colors and creeds are eager to achieve.
Construction of Sears Tower in Chicago, USA. The team of architect Bruce Graham and structural engineer Fazlur Rehman Khan designed the building as nine square "tubes"—each essentially a separate building—clustered in a 3x3 matrix.

The labor worked hard in supplying materials, to lay their work in place, without them they could do nothing. Whatever respectable titles (khatabs) their forefathers were bestowed upon in recognizion of their services rendered to the invaders. SINCE THEN they are known by that ? There are flourishing large socialized cities where everyone is called Nawab-Sahib. There are those nice happy cities where everybody’s name is ending with “Khan”, I thought we used word Khan for those people from Afghanistan or the northwestern areas of Pakistan. They speak Pashto or Persian. Here they don’t know any of these languages, they speak urdu. How can we dig out deep; we have no time, to find their backgrounds.

During a census in Lahore, Pakistan, 1.5 million pathans were working there; as firewood and charcoal dealer, cobbler/shoe-shine, popcorns. We call them Khan-Sahib; they are from northwestern areas; there are Maliks, Masuds, Mehmands, Tajiks, but we never asked any one which family some one belonged to.

Once I was returning from Pakistan and landed at Midway airport of Chicago, USA. I came out of the airport. I had not arranged for one from family to pick me up. Cab driver for the first in the line, was away from his car. His colleague called him Khawaja sahib there is sawari (passenger). I got into the car. I paid respects to the driver and addressed like this: My name is Sheikh Sarwar, I am from Samanabad, Lahore; I had not yet completed my address; he said “I am khawaja; also from Samanabad, living Khawaja Gulzar dental clinic. I did not get my professional job. My friend Bhatti from Pakki Tathi, Samanabad, is here and he arranged a cab for me. I make 40-50 thousand a month; no tax.” In our general rough language we call them “cabbies” by their apparent profession. Later on I found there were doctors also from Pakistan driving cabs because to get a certificate to practice in Chicago was time-consuming and expensive.

I carried a gift from Pakistan to be delivered to their relative in Chicago. After two days I gone to the address. No one answered my call. I was ready to leave. A cab came in and stopped at the drive way. He greeted me and asked whom I was looking for. I said “Chaudhry Imtiaz”. He shook hand with me and invited me to have a cup of tea. He thanked for the gift.

CONCLUSION:
We should not do “search-work” we have other essential jobs to do.
Meat and Depart as nice human beings.

I believe God gave expertise to:
- Prophet Daood" for making steel chains.
- Prophet Issa" to make clay birds
- Prophet Noha" to build a large boat
- People to prepare arrows, swords, and warfare headgear

I ask God and the readers for errors I have done in above writing. Please correct me. Thanks.
