Entrepreneurship from an Islamic Perspective

Four colleagues discuss plans beside a whiteboard reading “Tijarah (Trade) with Integrity” and “Maqasid al-Shariah.”

The paper outlines twelve foundational Islamic ethical principles and economic controls governing commercial conduct. These include Tawhid (monotheism and ultimate divine accountability), Sidq (honesty in financial reporting and marketing), Amanah (trustworthiness in handling stakeholder resources), Adl and Qist (justice and equity in pricing and employee compensation), Al-Ihsan (striving for excellence and benevolence), Taqwa (God-consciousness), Al-Maslahah Al-Ammah (prioritizing public interest), Al-Ayid Al-Halal (earning only through permissible means), and general social responsibility.
