65. The Islamic “entrepreneurship model “ & western ethics converging with Islamic principals

66. Need for an Islamic Model The nature of man The amoral society The underdevelopment of Islamic societies

67. Al ‘Qu’ran is presented in a business paradigm and all of Islam’s prophets were entrepreneurs in their own right.

68. Islam Espouses a Market Economy “He who brings goods to the market is blessed with bounty, he who withholds them is cursed.” (IbnMajah & Al Hakim)

69. A Market Mechanism Is Espoused “Do not chase after those who are going to the market before they reach the place.” (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

70. Islam also prohibits price manipulation “Anyone who withholds goods until the price rises is a sinner.” (Muslim).

71. Faith in one God and a commitment in the teachings revealed by God and His Messengers. Iman affects our world view and daily practices. A holistic life where one looks after worldly comforts and also prepare for the hereafter. An individual’s obligation to perform one’s religious duties. The path shown by Allah (SWT). The divine law. Knowledge. Three sources based on Iman, a) intellect (‘aql), experiences and revelations (wahy). Guided by Iman. A collective responsibility for both social and spiritual development Work and deeds, pious practice, orientated to Allah, turning away from all weakness and evil. Amal is based and guided by Iman and Ilmu.

72. Toyyibaan & Halal This day are (all) things good and pure made lawful unto you. The food of the people of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them. … If anyone rejects Faith, fruitless is his work, and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (all spiritual good). Al-Ma’idah 5:5

73. O you people! Eat of what is on earth, lawful and good; and do not follow the footsteps of the evil one, for he is to you an avowed enemy. Al-Baqarah 2:168

74. From the land that is clean and good, by the Will of its Cherisher, springs up produce, (rich) after its kind; but from the land that is bad, springs up nothing but that which is niggardly: thus do we explain the Signs by various (symbols) to those who are grateful. Al-A’raf 7:58

75. O ye who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided for you, and be grateful to God, if it is Him ye worship. Al-Baqarah 2:172

76. Substances and deeds that are good, healthy, pure, clean and lawful. Prohibited by Allah in the Al-Qur’an Permitted by Allah in the Al-Qur’an

77. Worship. Relates man to Allah through spiritual acts. The manifestation of Amal salih (pious actions). Recognition of the right and proper place and station, condition in life and to self discipline in positive and willing participation in enacting one’s role in accordance with that recognition and acknowledgement. Its occurrence in one and society as a whole reflects the condition of justice. A business partnership;a) Shirkah: where two or more individuals pool financial resources and share profit and loss on an agreed ratio and held liable to the extent of their capital,b) Syari’ah: each partner is able to operate other businesses, independent of the principal businessc) Mudarabah:Partnership where one manages the partnership and another supplies the financial resources. A relationship with Allah which excludes a relationship with anyone else. The focus of all man’s reverence and gratitude, the only source of value, where what Allah desires for man becomes value to him. Man who commits his will to Allah, recognises no other authority other than His. Comprises Iman, Ilmu and Amal. Piety Trust by God in man in the all encompassing concept of nature (tabi’ah) Mutual consent Inclination towards destruction The concept of Al-Falah requires Muslims to win and be successful in both this world and the hereafter.
