Labora Ergo Sum

I work, therefore I am…

Most of us will say, we work to make a living. Actually working is not only survival game. It can improve ones dignity by self realization (identity). It does shape who we are and the way we are perceived by others, yet most of all, the ‘rules’ of our work do have a powerful impact on the way we understand and give meaning to events shaping our lives and the lives of others.

For Moslem, talking about working is not only related to “dunya” or about living in the world  but it is also about the day after (akhirah). It is emphasized to keep working, while one is over then start with another job. Working is a way to achieve the God’s love and this is a way to ”jannah” (heaven). It only happens if we are professional, “ikhlas” (it is only for God), to be honest and objective in every way, highly ethic, and obey the “syariah” (the Moslem rule*…in simple way*).

Labora Ergo Sum is reflected a Moslem way… Let’s start our work toady with a simple pray to God…Bismillahirrahmannirrahiim…
