Business Etiquette from Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ :

Prophet Muhammed's ﷺ Business Etiquette*

In Islam, trade has always been recognised as an important aspect of human life. Before revelation came to Prophet ﷺ, he earned his living as a trader. His integrity and veracity were quickly noticed by his employer, Sayyida Khadijah (RA), who later married him.

*★ Sadiq and Ameen*

It was a result of his ﷺ honesty and noble character that he ﷺ was called as 'Sadiq' (truthful) and 'Ameen' (trustworthy) amongst the Makkans.

Hazrat Abu Sufianؓ (the bitterest enemy of Islam before he accepted Islam) said: "It is inconceivable for one who has never told a lie during his whole life to invent lies against Allah ﷻ.

The Makkans agreed unanimously that Allah's Messenger ﷺ was a truthful person. Once before his conversion, Yasir (ra) asked his son Ammar (ra), where he was going. Ammar (ra) said that he was going to the Prophet ﷺ. Being fully satisfied of his son's safety while with him ﷺ, he replied: "Muhammad ﷺ is a trustworthy person. The Makkans recognise him so, if he claims Prophethood he ﷺ must be telling the truth, for no one has ever heard him tell a lie."

Even though Makkans didn't believe in Islam, they trusted Prophet ﷺ so much that they used to keep their precious goods as an 'Amanah' with him, because they knew that he ﷺ was 'al Ameen', he ﷺ was never going to betray them. At the time of Hijrah also, before leaving he ﷺ gave the responsibility to Hazrat Ali (ra) of distributing the goods which were with him ﷺ of the Makkans.

*★ Best livelihood:*

Rafi' bin Khadij (RA) says that Prophet Muhammed ﷺ was asked about the best livelihood, he ﷺ said, "working with one's own hands to earn one's livelihood, and trade in which dishonesty and falsehood do not find any place." _(Mishkat)._

Alhamdulillah the Prophet ﷺ taught us the best way in every aspect of life. He ﷺ not only showed the way of life but also informed us about the rewards we will get In Sha Allah if we follow his ﷺ teachings. Hence mentioning a Hadith in this regard is: Abu Sayeed Qudri (RA) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that the honest and trustworthy traders shall be with the Prophets, Siddiqs and the Martyrs." _(Tirmizi)_.

Subhan Allah!

*★ Correct way of selling/dealing:*

Prophet Muhammed ﷺ said: "A merchant who hoards goods in order to raise their prices is a sinner." _(Muslim)_

He ﷺ also said: "It is required for the vendor to tell the buyer about any defects of which he is aware." _(Ibn Hanbal)_

The traders have been instructed to honestly tell the purchaser the faults (defects) of the object he is selling.

The Prophet ﷺ passed by a trader selling cereals. He ﷺ dipped his hand into the heap of the grain and discovered that the grains below the surface were wet. He ﷺ asked the trader to explain. He said in reply that it got wet in shower. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "why did you conceal it and why did you not keep the wet grains exposed (so that it is visible to the purchaser)." Then he ﷺ said, "those who resort to fraud are not one of us (the community of believers)."

*★ Way of employing:*

The holy Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who employs a labourer and gets the full work done by him but does not pay him his wages. _(Bukhari)_

In another beautiful Hadith the Allah's Messenger ﷺ taught us the beautiful way to treat labourers. "Pay the labourer his wages even before his sweat dries." _(Ibn Majah)_

Rasoolullah's ﷺ Shoes and Leather Socks:

Rasoolullah (ﷺ) wore shoes like sandals or slippers. Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore black leather socks and during Wadhu passed his moist hanks over them (made Masah). His shoes had two straps between the toes (Uswah: Mirqaat). There was a strap at the back as well. The Shoes of Rasoolullah (ﷺ) were one span and two fingers long and 7 fingers wide; there was a space of two fingers between the two straps at the toe end (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ)used to wear shoes made of leather that was smooth after the removal of the animal hair, and after wadhu He would place his feet into them because they were pure and made in such a way that his toes would thouch the ground. (Uswah) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) also wore shoes made of smooth leather. (Mishkaat) Rasoolullah (ﷺ) would would grip his shoes with his left thumb and index finger. (Shamaail Tirmidhi) Hazrat Anas (Radiallahhu’ anhu) narrates that from the sunnah is that one should remove his shoes and place them to the left side when sitting. (Mishkaat) Sourc...

The Prayer That Shook My Soul: Finding Gratitude in the Ruins:

- I went to a masjid today that wasn't marked by towering minarets or grand domes. It was a humble prayer space tucked away inside the quiet confines of an old-age home campus. Places like these carry a specific kind of atmosphere. The air feels heavier, often thick with unspoken memories, quiet resignation, and the lingering echo of lives that once roared with activity but have now slowed to a whisper. I went there simply to offer my obligatory prayers. I left carrying a lesson that will stay engraved on my heart forever. As I stood in the rows, preparing myself, I found myself next to an elderly man. He was frail, his posture bent by the weight of time. He was an "inmate" here—a clinical word that felt too harsh for the gentle, weathered face I glimpsed. Later, I would learn the fragments of his story. He was a survivor of the brutal COVID era, a period that had swept through his life like a wildfire, taking almost his entire family with it. He was left behind in the a...

Speaking in soft positive manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings:

There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, an...

Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action:

- *The Perils of Pampering: Raising Disciplined, God-Conscious Children* In a world that glorifies instant gratification, indulgence, and materialism, we risk raising a generation that lacks resilience, respect, and responsibility. The saying, *"A pampered child becomes a spoiled adult,"* holds profound truth. If we fail to discipline our children today, we may find ourselves helplessly watching them struggle tomorrow or worse, witnessing them turn into entitled, inconsiderate adults. *Discipline is not oppression, it is love in action*. It is the framework that shapes a child’s character, teaching them that life does not always bend to their will. If we refuse to instill these values at home, the world will teach them often in ways we would never approve of. Islam places immense emphasis on disciplined upbringing. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: > *"Command your children to pray at the age of seven, and discipline them for it at t...
