Abstract

Islam has guided every sphere of life by presenting its pure teachings. Earning is essential for human life. Every human being has to do some work. Trading is the basic necessity of human life. Those who used to depreciate in order to gain the meager profits of the world; due to this, many former Ummahs were killed. Where Islam has given orders to follow the importance of worship and duties, it has also explained the principles of finding Halal sustenance and made its importance clear. The Holy Quran emphasizes the significance of honest trade. Islam has described the best principles of trade and ordered them to be followed and has described the great virtue of an honest and truthful trader. Whoever trades in the ways prescribed by Allah Almighty and His Messenger (ﷺ) will be raised on the Day of Judgment with the martyrs and the righteous. Obtaining Halal sustenance is called worship. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) exemplified the principles of honest trade, emphasizing the importance of fairness, transparency, and integrity in all commercial transactions. Islam has kept it free from evil qualities like selling one's wealth by lying in trade, reducing the measure in any way, and adulteration. The golden rules of trade laid down by Islam guarantee abundance and blessings in sustenance, as well as success and progress. Islam has described the best earnings for a person to work with his own hands and any business or trade that is free from fraud and treachery. Honest trade is loved by Allah Almighty. In this article, the principles of trade are explained in the light of the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet's (ﷺ) life.
