Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

There is nothing except that it exists with the predestination and decree of Allaah. The most famous statement of the Muslims in this regard is the following: “What Allaah had willed will happen, and what Allaah has not willed will never happen.” Allaah Says (what means): {Indeed, all things We created with predestination.}[Quran 54:49]

Therefore, if a Muslim finds a job, then it is by the predestination of Allaah that he found it. However, this does not mean that if he finds a better job he should not endeavor to move to it. This change of job is a shift from one decree of Allaah to another decree of Allaah. Indeed, ‘Umar said about running away from the plague of ‘Amwaas: “It is a running away from one decree of Allaah to another decree of Allaah.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Therefore, there is no sin in moving from one job to another and a Muslim should be keen on what benefits him. He should seek the help of Allaah and not despair.

Allaah Knows best.
