Regarding Salary Increment - I want to leave this job but I don’t want to kick the Rriskh or give me any good dua’a for getting increment, I am very upset, please advise me what I have to do?

Allah Ta'ala states in the noble Qur'aan, 'Indeed Allah Ta'ala is with those who are patient.' Without any doubt, your approach to this matter is highly laudable because it is mentioned in the Hadith that is is much benefit in consulting.

It is understood that you have certainly dealt with all those impediments with regards to your salary increment, such as, the policies and requirements of your company upon you are met by you entirely. Therefore, it will now be appropriate for you to hand over a letter to the management stating that your request has been unattended to, and the reason for you to hand over this letter is that you would like to receive a more favourable reception, on the basis of your theory and experience.

However, this point should be well understood that with great status comes great responsibility, the result should not be that with great respondibility, a person becomes negligent. Firstly, to the obligations of Islam and secondly to his family. Our Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has said that a person should take the opportunity and appreciate his free time before his is occupied.

Certainly, the best and only solution to unfavourable conditions is to turn to Allah Ta'ala who is the best of sustainers, and Allah Ta'ala himself says, 'Is there anyone who seeks any goodness in the matters of the world, let him ask and it shall be granted.' And if you are sincere and regular with asking Allah Ta'ala for all your needs, you will see how Allah takes care of all your affairs, and you will definitely see how smoothly your affairs will run and you will live a life of peace and contentment, no worries at all, and this is all because you turn to Allah. lastly, you can never go wrong because Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) told the Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhu) to read two Rakaats of Salaat and make Du'aa to Allah for whatever needs they had - and the Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhu) were always happy - because they turn to Allah Ta'ala and Allah granted them whatever they asked for. 'And surely Allah Ta'ala is the best of planners and the best of sustainers.'

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
