The devil is a choice

After a while of chasing money, you have probably figured out that you have to choose between the devil and God.  The devil is everywhere, because God allowed him respite until Judgement Day.  So we can't defeat the devil, even though in the religion of God the devil is our greatest enemy.  But we can defeat the devil in people, including ourselves.  Simply by choosing not to follow him.  And that is the point, the reason why the devil is given so much freedom, is because God sees whether we choose the devil or God.

Yeah, everyone needs money I guess.  So to seek deception in legal contracts, I suggest you seek freedom for yourself, and delete clauses that enslave you.  Clauses that force you to work for free or worse, work to be indebted.  And work can be dangerous.  One might think how nice it is to be a woman, to be taken care of by the man, and leave the man to be the one to worry about corruption.  But that is only true in the truest Islamic sense- nowadays the woman has to be or share in earning a living.  I have tried to be true to God, and I still refuse to sell out my mission to please God with music, but it has always been difficult and with my life on the edge at all times.  But I trust in God to reward me, and get me married.
                            
By the same token, there's no need to abandon bosses that have always been kind to you.  Overwork is a problem, but that's because good help is so hard to find.  And it can be negotiable.  If you are doing business in person, here's a tip on how to spot a hypocrite: observe the expression on his/her face when he/she turns away from talking to you.  Keep your integrity and put your trust and faith in God, and God will help you.  InshaAllah.

So to emulate the Prophet, if it is the world and its glitter that you want, then I will provide for you then set you free in a handsome manner.  But if you seek to please Allah, then Allah will grant you a great reward.  InshaAllah.
