Chapter 1: A Sweater’s English Origin
In a lecture, the late Junaid Jamshed shared an interesting experience. He revealed that he had bought a sweater from a renowned brand in England. After wearing it for six months, he realized that he was heading to Pakistan, where the weather was quite warm. The question arose: what to do with the sweater?
Chapter 2: The Search for the Brand
Curiosity led Junaid to investigate the brand’s outlet in Karachi. He approached the sweater counter, expressing his desire to return or exchange the item. The staff inquired about the purchase receipt, but Junaid had none. When asked about the purchase date, he couldn’t recall. The situation became more interesting when they asked if he wanted to exchange or get a refund.
Chapter 3: The Unexpected Refund
Choosing a refund, Junaid replied, “Okay, no problem.” He had bought the sweater for England fifty pounds, and astonishingly, after six months of use, he received a full refund. He couldn’t help but marvel at the straightforwardness of the English store.
Chapter 4: Karachi’s Shopping Episode
Fast forward to a shopping episode in Karachi. Junaid was making a purchase at a store, and the shopkeeper, after writing a significant note, assured him that the bought item wouldn’t be returned or exchanged. During the transaction, the shopkeeper took the opportunity to request prayers for the prosperity of his business, mentioning Junaid’s involvement in advertising.
Chapter 5: A Lesson in Business Ethics
Junaid gave some valuable advice, highlighting the importance of honest transactions. He stressed that businesses thrive when they operate with sincerity. He shared an example of how a small change, like taking down a sign that says “no returns or exchanges,” can have a big positive England impact on a business’s success. Essentially, he was saying that being open and fair in transactions can make a big difference for a business to prosper.
Chapter 6: The Comparison
Junaid pointed out the contrast between the two situations and urged businesses to follow a more open and customer-friendly approach. He wanted them to be clear and welcoming in their practices, demonstrating the wide range and extent of their services. In other words, he was encouraging England businesses to be transparent and customer-oriented to succeed.
Chapter 7: The Philosophy of Rizq
Junaid shared a deep message: “Allah is the one who provides sustenance.” He wanted England everyone to know that customers aren’t the ultimate source of what keeps a business going; it comes from a higher power. Allah looks at the intentions behind our actions, and businesses that operate with honesty and integrity get rewarded. So, he reminded us to always do business ethically, knowing that our sustenance ultimately comes from Allah.
Conclusion: A Tale of Integrity and Prosperity
Once upon a time, there was a story about a sweater. This story showed us two different ways that businesses can operate. The English store kept things simple and honest, and that really caught Junaid Jamshed’s attention. The lesson here is that when businesses are ethical and sincere, good things happen, like prosperity and blessings. So, it’s a reminder to always do business in a good and honest way.
