Islamic Perception of Business Ethics and the Impact of Secular Thoughts on Islamic Business Ethics

Muhammad Hashim

Open access

The purpose of this paper is to exhibit the business ethics perception in Islam and to unveil the
western secular values and thoughts regarding ethics. We have presented the various
repeatedly verses from Holy Quran and teachings of the Prophet. But unfortunately the
western dominancy on our systems with great extent effaced our core Islamic values, beliefs
and idea regarding business and trade. The dominancy of their organism has occupied a vital
rule in all the major activities in our system and we are constrained to follow. Especially
Muslims are striving for much profit and they are ignoring the ethical standard of the business,
what Islam prohibits and what permits they don’t care. Being Muslims we have to follow the
rules and regulation for business dealings which stated by Islamic jurisprudence the business
will sustain its image and will be able to survive.
