Islam recognizes worldly life and gives great importance to the lawful earnings. Trade and business done with intention to seek the pleasure of Allah is not only a way to meet one’s financial needs, but it also fulfils the socio-religious responsibility. Through a lawful source of income, a Muslim can support himself and can also help and serve his Muslim brothers who are financially weak. Ṣūfīs consider earning livelihood necessary for ordinary people but for the traveller on spiritual path their opinions vary. One group among the Ṣūfīs believes that using worldly means to earn a living is against trust in Allah (tawakkul). Another group, however, believes that using these means, with certain conditions, is not only a good and rewarding act but also an important way to achieve Allah through khidmat-e khalq (service to humanity). This paper presents an analytical study of Ṣūfīs’ teachings and practices and shows that the means of earning chosen in the light of Prophet’s ﷺ deeds, sayings provide a good example for developing a self-reliant society. The practices of the Ṣūfīs show that Sufism does not encourage begging. Rather, it encourages people to work and earn through lawful means. Earning a livelihood is not a hindrance to in the spiritual paths. Rather, it can help a seeker to achieve Allah’s divine love and bliss. When lawful earning is connected with the pleasure of Allah and the service of people, the work which apparently seems to be mundane becomes supermundane.

This research examines the issue of gender reassignment in the light of Islamic Sharia, addressing one of the most controversial contemporary medical and ethical issues. The study clarifies the concept of gender change and distinguishes it from gender correction in cases of congenital abnormalities such as ambiguous genitalia (khunthamushkil). It explores the medical, psychological, social, and legal dimensions of gender reassignment and analyzes its causes, including psychological disorders, environmental influences, social pressures, behavioral motivations, and economic factors. The research investigates the Islamic legal ruling on gender reassignment through evidence from the Qur’an, Sunnah, juristic principles, and the objectives of Sharia (Maqasid al-Sharia). It concludes that changing the gender of a biologically normal person is prohibited because it constitutes an alteration of Allah’s creation, contradicts human nature (fitrah), and leads to significant religious and social consequences. In contrast, corrective procedures for individuals with congenital sexual ambiguity are permissible, as they are considered medical treatment aimed at revealing and restoring the person’s true biological sex rather than altering it. The study further reviews the opinions of contemporary scholars and Islamic juristic councils, highlighting their broad agreement on the prohibition of elective gender reassignment and the permissibility of medically necessary gender correction. Ultimately, the research emphasizes the importance of preserving human fitrah, protecting the objectives of Islamic law, and maintaining social and family stability while addressing such cases with appropriate medical and juristic guidance.
