The Qur’an devotes significant attention to business since Makkah,
Where
Muhammad saw was born and raised and where the Qur’an was first
revealed, was at that time a major center of trade. In Islam, business is
an honorable, blessed and wealth generating activity requiring courage,
initiative, resourcefulness, patience, knowledge and good interpersonal
relationship. These are qualities very much required in Islam. Islam
requires that business be conducted in an open and competitive
environment. Business In Islam, Allah would bless only business conducted in an honest and truthful manner. Therefore, most Quranic revelations and the Prophet Muhammad’s (saw) teachings concerning business relate to honest, mutually beneficial and non-exploitative conduct of business. In fact, adherence to Islamic business concepts and principles do not prevent but helps Muslim businessmen to become wealthy and successful. Honest business conduct combined with resourcefulness, the relevant knowledge and good interpersonal capability can assure greater and more enduring success and wealth to the Muslim businessmen, entreprenuer and industrialist. The principle against non- disclosure of material facts or "utmost good faith" is laid down by the Holy Prophet (saw) as follows : "...If both parties speak the truth and describe defects and qualities (of the subject matter of the transaction - transparency) they would be blessed in their transaction, but if they tell lies or conceal anything, then the blessing on their transaction will be blotted out. |
