Making Use of Others

Habit of making use of others has been going on in history till today. Although religion forbids this habit but individual knowingly or unknowingly keeps on practicing it. This occurs among friends, family members and office mates. It ranges from money matters to personal favors and even taking advantage of someone’s position. If it’s a genuine case one should help. However, most cases center on taking advantage of others. Some may think or don’t realize they are not taking advantage of others. They think it’s normal and it’s alright to go on using others.

I had a friend who always likes to borrow money and never returns back. There is a difference between borrowing and giving. Whenever and wherever you out in group, he never offer to pay or treat others. It’s always the other guys who pay. There are also people who claim other peoples work as their own. Sometimes, you do things in a group but one person claim that it belongs to him or the bulk of the work was his and he claims credit for it. Sometimes, there are also family members, like uncle or niece who can be this type of a person.

Have you ever encountered people like this in your life?

In the end, as Muslims, we believe every work we do will be rewarded by Allah. So, whoever experienced being "meking used by others", try to fight back. If you fail, dont be sad. You will be rewarded eventually in the unseen world.
