Our ancestors have transformed these gifts in more appropriate form to suit it more to the needs of the coming generation through their hard work and labour. The quality of life we are enjoying is fruit of the struggle and continuous value addition to the gifts of the nature by every former generation to the following generation. Fast means of communication, better means of transportation, better medical facilities and all the technological development in every field of life we witness today is fruit of the hard work. In reality, we even cannot get benefit from most of the gifts of nature without hard work; we are digging deep into the earth to unveil the treasures it contains in the forms of the minerals and exploring space to better understand and solve the mysteries of the universe. Besides it, if we closely observe history of developed nations, we come to the conclusion that they have earned the place in the list of the developed nations by dint of their hard work. Besides the fact, majority of the Muslim countries are rich in natural resources but there is hardly any country on this list of developed nations. On the other hand, Japan not a very rich country in natural resources, even after defeat in Second World War is the third largest economy of the world. They preferred work over leisure and abolished weekly holiday in their country.
