Manners of business

Dear Islamic brothers! Likewise, it is essential for a successful businessman to become aware of the rules and manners of business. Many of the manners are such that it is compulsory for a trader to act upon them as per the Shari’ah. Therefore, let’s listen to a few manners of business from page 184 of Siraat-ul-Jinan, volume 2, so that a businessman may not be deprived of blessings by displeasing Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ through making any kind of Shar’i mistakes.

1.         A businessman should refresh his good intentions in his heart daily in the morning: I will go to the market to fulfil my family members’ needs with Halal earnings, so that they become independent of people and I may get enough leisure time that I worship Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and continue to follow the path of the Hereafter. This intention should also be made that I will be kind, sincere and honest with people, I will ask people to carry out good deeds, prevent them from evils and I will investigate those who act deceitfully.

2.         A businessman should know how to check counterfeit and genuine notes. He should neither accept counterfeit notes nor should he give it to anyone else so that the right of Muslims is not wasted.

3.         If someone gives a counterfeit note (and the one he has given has not been found) then it should not be given to another person {and if the one who has given it is found then (getting the original amount back from him) he should not be given the counterfeit note back either}, it should rather be torn and thrown away so that he may not cheat any other person.
