If we speak of some truths about the wisdom of paying salaries, it may well be of benefit, insha Allah. A leader, wherever he may be, should know the mood and temperament of his employees. That is, his dealings and commands should correspond to this. New workers — that is, young workers with little or no experience — should not be given a high salary before six months have passed. The reasons are as follows: 1. Most young people lack the knowledge of how to spend money. That is, they do not know how to spend money where it is needed; they squander it on needless whims and fancies. The salary given to them is wasted in the same way. 2. The knowledge of spending money is acquired through experience together with instruction. That is, the young cockerel who spends his money thoughtlessly falls into need tomorrow, and when his head hits the wall he concludes, “Oh, so I should have spent money with a little thought, looking at what’s around me!” — and learns to use money for the most necessary things. If his salary is smaller, his skill at being thrifty in this matter grows. 3. For a certain period, need is necessary for a person. Need is a factor of growth. For an intelligent person, need is a source of wisdom and strength. That is, a sensible young man learns through need the causes of need, understands the measures for not falling into it, feels for those in need, and gains practical knowledge of how and in what form to help those in need. 4. A young man who works for a smaller salary is tested in patience and loyalty. He trusts in the wisdom and kindness, the justice and experience of his superior; he is patient with shortages and serves his workplace and his leader with loyalty, and this opens the way to his good fortune — to winning trust and doing great service, and in the end to blessing and success. 5. As a person with little money remains in this state for a long time, he understands that having little money does not make living difficult for him. He concludes that not having certain things does not put an end to life. He understands that money does not solve everything. He understands deeply that money does not come by itself when he wants it, but comes through labor, skill, zeal and patience, at the time God wills. 6. While working at the workplace, the young worker first goes through practice in his field; that is, in the initial period he acquires the most important experience and knowledge, skills and abilities, and in this the workplace serves him as a school and the boss as a teacher; by taking a small salary and working a great deal, he pays what he owes to that school and that teacher. 7. As the young worker works a lot and earns little, he attains devotion and fortitude, he understands the essence of honest labor; the blessing of the future comes from this very honest sweat; the young worker understands with his whole being how sweet and precious the provision that comes from labor is. On the whole, there is a great deal of wisdom in this matter; that is why it is not right for our respected young men to jump from job to job, saying, “I haven’t found my place, I need to grow” — this sticks the label of “unreliable” on them; so long as the boss is fair, conscientious and honest, and so long as the workplace serves people usefully and provides useful products, then one should stay there; only one is required to know these things before taking the job and to be free of doubts. Learn this knowledge thoroughly and let it sink deep into you; these words concern both bosses and employees. Insha Allah, you will see its benefit. Because this knowledge is missing, workers are unreliable, leaders are struggling, and young people who want to work are suffering too... And they also go about deceived by the nonsense and chatter of the “motivator clowns” who have filled the internet, telling them to look for an environment that is good for growth. We have kept our words short, because one could write a detailed book on this subject.
