Abstract
In the Islamic State the rights of workers/employees are
protected, as Islam seldom deals with the individual as
individual he is always visualized as a member of a family and
community who earns his livelihood by honest means/labours.
The prophet (P.B.U.H) said, “The wage earner is a friend of
God”. Fourteen years ago, the Prophet had himself established
the dignity of labour by working himself as a labour. It was the
Prophet (P.B.U.H) who said, “Pay the labour before his sweat
dries up” .Islam prescribed a brotherhood of which the owners
and the workers are members as a brother cannot rest in peace
when he sees his own brother in distress. Besides it Islam
censures negligence and want of responsibility in people be they
“The owners or workers” God himself has specifically
commanded. “Those who dole less measure than the one agreed
upon and guilty, in return less than what was promised” are in
loss. According to the religious scholars all the workers who
receive their full wage but treat their responsibilities lightly and
spend less time or work on the other pursuits, by the same
analogy the owner who make them sweat for a larger time than
agreed upon without their consent or payment of extra wages is
also guilty. The worker should work according to the proper and
prescribed manner. They Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said: “Allah
wants that when a man accepts a responsibility he should
develop feeling of conscientiousness”.
