It is really strange that in a Muslim society, barbers, drivers, tailors, waiters, people related to these professions are considered so bad and treated like filthy creatures. Although these people play an important part in our lives but in eastern part of the world neither people like to do these jobs nor they respect these people, contrarily if you notice about western societies, they give respect to each and every profession whether the person is a dishwasher or a barber.
In eastern side of the world parents have pampered their children so much, especially boys, that they do not even drink a glass of water by themselves they want someone else to give it them. It is ironical that when these same people go to western countries they do all their chores they do their laundry, wash the dishes, clean their houses all by themselves probably because in their society people don’t look down upon them. But here in eastern side men doing their own chores is considered very shameful although our religion tells and appreciates self handling. Our Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) used to do all his house hold work by himself, and then what are we people to degrade these professions. People in these professions are too, working hard and earning each penny but people would go for stealing but will not prefer these professions as it is a stigma in a society and people think that the families involved in these professions have a low standard and are low in rank.
Even their children face discriminatory behaviors. No rich or so called decent family would like to get their daughter married with these professionals. Although none of us can imagine our life without a hairstylist, driver, barber or a tailor.
We can never judge any one on the basis of their professions and its time that we realize that they deserve a humanly place in the world of GOD.
