Allah is the all-powerful Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Basic human needs include food, clothing, and shelter. To meet their needs, people earn money in a variety of ways. Business is the best among them. Rizik was not compelled to work in any particular profession by Islam. Islam, on the other hand, emphasizes that whatever profession is chosen, it must be halal. Earning halal food is considered a form of worship in Islam.
Business in the life of the Prophet
The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Earning halal after the obligatory acts of worship (prayers, fasting, zakat, etc.) is also an obligation and the importance of worship.” Another hadith says, ‘No man has eaten better than what he earns with his own hands. The Prophet (S) also used to eat his own earnings.” (Sahih Bukhari)
Business is the best medium for Rizik search
Allah is the Creator and Sustainer of the whole world. Bread, clothing and shelter are basic human needs. People make money in different ways to meet their needs. Among them, business is the best and the best. Islam did not force Rizik to take up any particular profession to earn a living. However, Islam has emphasized that whatever profession is adopted should be halal. Islam has termed earning halal food as an act of worship.
Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Sa’ib (R.A) said, “I was a share of the Prophet’s business in the age of ignorance. When I went to Medina, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Do you know me? I said, why not recognize? You were my best business partner. He would not break any promise, nor would he quarrel over anything! ” (Khasayes Kubra, Usdul Gabah)
There are many ways to earn. Allah the Almighty has said that it is better to seek sustenance in a lawful way. It has been said in the Holy Quran, “When the prayer is over, you will spread out in the land and seek the bounty of Allah and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.”
Virtue of Trade and Commerce
Describing the dignity of an honest businessman, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said in a hadith narrated by Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), “10 parts of Rizik. 9 of them are in business. The Prophet (S) said, Allah loves professional Muslims.” It is the people’s responsibility to provide for them. Earning halal food is a part of faith for the pious servants. Life’s narrowness is a disgrace to be honored. The gulf between Muslims and non-Muslims in trade and commerce is a major source of concern.
Halal Wealth is a Good Thing
The Prophet (S) said to Hazrat Amr ibn al-As (R.A.): “I want you to acquire suitable wealth. He said, O Messenger of Allah! I am not a Muslim for wealth. I have become a Muslim in my heart.” The Prophet (S) said, “Halal wealth is a very good thing.” (Musnad Ahmad)
The Purpose of the Business is Much Broader
The goal of business is not only to make money, but also to expand one’s social circle. Then become accustomed to them. Should speak with a smile and be sincere. So that your respect and love are reciprocated in the hearts of others. They are easily controlled by you. It will then be simple to demonstrate the beauty of Islam to others. In doing business with integrity, Allah has promised innumerable blessings.
The Dignity of an Honest Businessman
Describing the dignity of an honest trader, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said in a hadith narrated by Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him):
The great Rabbul Alamin likes the method to be adopted for earning halal riziq. He who struggles to feed his family is in the way of God. “And whoever strives to support his aged parents and earns halal money so that he does not have to reach out to people, he is in the way of Allah.” (Tabarani; Attargib wat Tarhib)
Wealth is also Important for the Hereafter
Wealth is also necessary for a happy life in the afterlife. So that one can lavishly care for God’s creatures and subjects. The majority of Muslims are currently ineffective. Muslims should express a desire to engage in trade and commerce. Because business employs a large number of people. In fact, insha’Allah, the uselessness will be removed. Happiness will come back to life.
Managing Fraud in the Workplace
There are numerous advantages to pursuing a career in business, technology, or a profession. All of these virtues, however, are reserved for the trader who will conduct business in accordance with Islamic principles and the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) method. It is impossible for the deceiver to be a Muslim. It is an abomination to deceive and lie. The deceiver, in fact, deceives himself. The Prophet (S) said, “He who deceives and deceives is not one of my party.” (Saheeh Bukhari and Saheeh Muslim)
As a result, a Muslim businessman must always be wary of deception. If this is accepted, the trader’s honesty and integrity will be maintained. Above all, it ushers in God’s mercy and blessings. The Prophet (S) said, “Although halal is less, but it has blessings.”
Don’t Lie to Sell Products
In verse 61 of Surah Ale Imran, it is said that Allah the Almighty has cursed falsehood. The Prophet (S) said: “The merchant is sinful and uncivilized. The Companions asked, O Messenger of Allah! Has God not made business lawful? The Prophet (S) replied that trade and commerce are completely legal. But most traders swear falsely. Gives false details about his own product. Thus most people become sinners. God’s refuge!” (Musnad Ahmad)
Muslims are currently lagging behind in terms of trade and commerce. Even those in business are unaware of the principles of Islam and the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) principles. Muslims should study the Prophet’s (PBUH) business and trade instructions. Observance of Islam’s rules to the letter. Outwardly, business appears to be a worldly occupation. However, when a Muslim trades in good faith and with complete honesty, rather than lying and betraying others, his business becomes a sacred act of worship.
Concerning business, Allah says in the Holy Qur’aan:“Those who consume usury will stand on the Day of Resurrection in the same way as the one whom Satan seduces by standing. The reason for their condition is that they have said that buying and selling is like taking interest. But Allah has made buying and selling lawful and has forbidden usury.” (Qur’an)
يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَاْكُلُوْۤا اَمْوَالَـكُمْ بَيْنَكُمْ بِالْبَاطِلِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَكُوْنَ تِجَارَةً عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِّنْكُمْ وَلَا تَقْتُلُوْۤا اَنْـفُسَكُمْؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيْمًا
“Believers! Do not devour one another’s possessions wrongfully; rather than that, let there be trading by mutual consent. You shall not kill yourselves. Surely Allah is ever Compassionate to you.” (Surah Nisa: 29)
رِجَالٌ ۙ لَّا تُلْهِيْهِمْ تِجَارَةٌ وَّلَا بَيْعٌ عَنْ ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَاِقَامِ الصَّلٰوةِ وَ اِيْتَآءِ الزَّكٰوةِ ۙ يَخَافُوْنَ يَوْمًا تَتَقَلَّبُ فِيْهِ الْقُلُوْبُ وَالْاَبْصَارُ ۙ
“People who trade and buy and sell from the remembrance of Allah, establish prayers and do not refrain from paying zakat. They fear the Day when hearts and eyes will be turned upside down.” (Surah Noor: 37)
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِيْنَۙ الَّذِيْنَ اِذَا اكْتَالُوْا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُوْنَۖ وَاِذَا كَالُوْهُمْ اَوْ وَّزَنُوْهُمْ يُخْسِرُوْنَؕ
“Repentance is for those who take the measure perfectly from the people. But when they give, they give less.” (Mutaffifin 1-3)
Hadith about business
Narrated from Hazrat Rafi Ibn Khadija (R.A.). He said, “Once the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked, O Prophet of God! Which is the holiest of all human earnings? The Prophet (S) said: What people earn with their own hands and what they earn through halal business.” (Mishkat)
Narrated by Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.), The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The truthful and trustworthy businessman will be with the Prophet, the righteous and the martyrs on the Day of Resurrection.” (Tirmidhi)
Narrated from Hazrat Abu Huriarah (R.A.). He said, “The Prophet (PBUH) said, ‘Allah says,’ I stay with them until one of the two partners in the business commits treason.’ But when one of them starts betraying, I abandon them. According to another account, Satan came in between them.” (Abu Dawood)
An honest trader is introduced in this verse. It is said that an honest trader does not stray from Allah’s remembrance and is always active in following Allah’s rules. A trustworthy businessman cannot be underweight. Adulterated products are not allowed to be sold. A businessman who follows God’s rules will never commit any kind of business fraud. Unscrupulous traders force people to lose weight, contaminate products with various adulterants, and destabilize the market. The buyers’ agony has reached a pinnacle point in this way. They are external beneficiaries, but the ramifications are disastrous. Regarding their tragic consequences, the Holy Qur’an says: “Evil is the consequence for those who give less.” Those who take full measure of time from people and when they measure or weigh for them, give less. Do they not think that they will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection (Surah Mutaffifin: 1-5). Allah says: “Honest traders who measure correctly, and do not resort to any kind of falsehood in business, have great dignity and good results.” (Surah Isra’il: verse 35).
Illegal trade pervades our society. Today, illegal trade can be found almost anywhere. Today, the scourge of illegal business has swallowed halal business. Many people in our society have deposited millions of money in the name of “business.” And the bank pays them a monthly profit of ten percent or twenty percent. They can easily obtain this money while sitting at home. They believe it is all about business. This is a completely erroneous notion. It is, in fact, intriguing. They try to demonstrate their interest in the business world. In the name of business, many people in our society trade interest. Their ramifications are tragic. Concerning them, the Holy Qur’an says: “You will see many of them in sin and transgression and usury (usury, bribery and corruption).” The business is to invest money, think hard and work hard, and both profit and loss are accepted wholeheartedly.
There is no thinking, no hard work, and no loss is tolerated – how can this be called business? Direct interest is interest received from a bank at a profit of 20% or 30%. Islam forbids all forms of interest. Hadith narrated by Abu Huraira (R.A.), the Prophet (S.A.W) said, “The smallest part of the sin of usury is the amount that a person marries his own mother” (Mishkat Sharif: p. 248). Hazrat Jaber (R.A.) It is narrated in the hadith that the curse of Allah and His Messenger is on both the usurer and the receiver. (Muslim).
The importance of halal business in Islam is immense. Allah is very pleased with the merchant when he shows sympathy to the buyer while doing business. He gave him Paradise.
Hadith narrated by Hazrat Abu Huzaifa (R.A.) the Prophet. said, “Malakul Maut came to a man of your previous ummah to capture his soul. Malakul Maut asked him, ‘Have you done any special good deeds in this world?’ He said – I do not remember – but I remember a period – and that is in the life of the world I used to do business with people. In business, I was sympathetic to people. If my husband was rich, I would give him time. And if Khatak was poor, I would forgive him. Because of that deed, Allah has given him Paradise.” (Bukhari and Muslim).
Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A.) described the dignity of an honest businessman. Hadith narrated by the Prophet (S.A.W). He (PBUH) said, “On the Day of Resurrection, the truthful trustees and believing businessmen will be among the Companions of the Prophets and the Martyrs.” (Tirmidhi, Dare Qutni, and Daremi).
Our economic problems are caused by the interest rate system. We should all start all kinds of interest transactions and engage in halal business to speed up economic development. This life is short, and we will have to account for everything in the next. Muslims will be saved from the terrible fire of usury the day this ultimate real thought comes to us.
