Concept:Islam discourages begging and instead encourages self-reliance through lawful work and the dignity of labour.
Explanation:Islam forbids begging because it makes a person dependent on others.
The Prophet (SAW) taught that working for one’s needs, even through simple labour like carrying firewood, is better than asking people for help.
The hadith states that whoever keeps begging asks for a piece of fire, meaning the punishment of begging is severe.
Therefore, Islam encourages Muslims to respect and engage in any honest job rather than beg.
This principle is known as the dignity of labour: every lawful job is honourable and should be done with pride.
Answer:D. dignity of labour
