A MUSLIM BUSINESSMAN'S
OATH
I will, Insha-Allah, behave
Islamically towards:
My Creator:
* My intention
for business will not be merely to enrich myself but to earn
Halaal and spend in the right path
* I will regard it as a
compulsory duty to learn all the Islamic rules and laws
regarding business from the Ulama
* I will then always
conduct my business according to the Laws of Shari'ah
* I
will spend my resouces wisely, always maintaining appropriate
reserves for difficult times
My Customers:
* My primary responsibility is to provide the best
quality product to those who come to my business
* I will
receive my customers politely and treat them with respect and
dignity
* I will work to cut my overhead costs in order to
charge reasonable prices
* I will process all transactions
speedily and without errors
* I will not misrepresent my
products or services to any customer at all
*I will gladly
accept to refund a dissatisfied customer
My Suppliers and Distributors:
* I will work with my suppliers and
distributors to maintain consistency in quality and
service
* I will ensure that they make a fair
profit
My Employees:
* All my employees will work in safe and clean
conditions
* They will receive fair and adequate
compensation
* They will have ample opportunities to
develop their skills
* They will feel free to make
suggestions, or complaints
* I will safeguard their rights
and respect their dignity at all times
* I will clearly
communicate to all employees what is expected of them
* I
will compensate my employees equitably
* I will allow them
reasonable time to fulfil their religious obligations,
especially Salaah & Hajj
My Competitors:
* I will not engage in monopolistic
behaviour and preclude others from competing with me
* I
will compete fairly without engaging in un-Islamic
tactics
* I will not be envious or malicious towards my
competitors in anyway
My Community:
* I will support the community I
live in as well as the world-wide Ummah
* I will be a good
citizen, by contributing to the welfare of the needy and the
destitute in society
