Family Quote by Mufti Ismail Menk
“Overworking oneself is very destructive if it is made a habit & can cause significant mental, physical & social damage. It can also destroy family ties, break up marriages, result in loss of children to drugs etc. Of what use are those earnings when things around us are crumbling. Take a break with the family for a weekend. Make the time for those closest to you & spend the money you have earned on them!”
