Doing business is one of the sun-nah of Holy prophet (P.B.U.H). Before he was appointed
as prophet he use to be a merchant. Islam appreciate if a person do hard work and earn money
for himself and his family. Allah dislikes the lazy people.
The Islamic concept of Gaining business contains 3 major elements those are knowing the best
investment, making good judgement and following the right conduct as Islam guide us. A
good investment is the one that can get us highest possible return. So with some deep
research we can achieve this. Like before investing in any business we should properly gather
all the information and analyze that so that investment can turn out to be fruitful.
Making the sound judgement in any kind of business is very necessary. Like if market’s
condition is not so well, so we should make quick and smart decisions. Making sound
judgment after collecting all information, verify the information and discuss with the
experience people so that our decision be strong and fruitful.
Following the right conduct means that we should follow all the ethics of conducting business
that has been told to us by our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and in Quran. As a Muslim we
should never go against our ethics and Islamic laws because rizq is in hand of Allah. If we
follow the path of Allah we will be successful in the end.
The Islamic concept of Losing business is that which may bring profit in short run but if we
consider it for long term it is in fruitful for us and society too. For example to explain this
concept we take any act which does not follows Islamic guidelines or its is against Islam so
by doing that we might end up having prophet in world but after life we have to punishment
for that. One example could a Muslim doing alcohol business in world he will earn money and
that is short run but if we take this into long run perception it will cost him too much on day
of judgement. Another example could be the person who is not avoiding interest from his
business activities so he might end up in earning profit in world but he will for sure face
repercussions. Dealing a contract on false term or we are speaking lie to other party so it is
also considered as losing business in Islamic concepts.
