Business Ethics in Islamic Perspective


Business is one of many ways to meet human needs. Allah SWT has given direction to the servant - him to do business. In Islam there are rules and ethics of doing business. We have already given examples of the real by the Prophet SAW.bagaimana way he does business with to trade. In fact it had done from childhood when asked his uncle Abu Talib to trade to Sham. And wherein when a wealthy merchant woman namely Siti Khadijah ra trust him to sell his wares to the market then, the Prophet even carry it out with honesty and sincerity.

In the view of Islam there are rules or ethics that should be owned by everyone who wants to do business especially as he is a believer. A believer in business not to take action - actions that contravene the Law. Messenger SAW.banyak provide clues about business ethics, among which are:

First, that the essential principle in business is honesty. In Islamic doctrine, honesty is a fundamental requirement in business activities. Messenger is very intense advocate honesty in business activity. In this level, he said: "It is not justified to sell a single sale of a Muslim who has the disgrace, unless she explains her shame" (Reported by al-Quzwani).

Secondly, in Islam it is not just chasing profits (profit oriented) but also must consider the attitude ta'awun (please - help) among us as the social implications of business.

Third, do not make a false oath. Prophet Muhammad is very intense prohibit the business conduct of perjury in conducting business transactions. In a history Bukhari hadith, the Prophet said, "By making a false oath, the goods are sold, but the result is not a blessing". In a hadith narrated by Abu Dhar, Prophet threatened with a painful punishment to those who perjure themselves in business, and God will not be him also later on the Day of Judgement (Muslim).

Fourth, the business is done voluntarily, without coercion. Word of God, "O ye who believe, do not eat each other neighbor's property by way of a false, except by way of business that apply to consensual among you" (Surah 4: 29).

Fifth, that the business is carried net of elements of usury. Word of God, "O ye who believe, leave remnants of usury, if ye have faith (Surah al-Baqarah: 278) and many more ethics or business guidance in Islam. All of the above must be true - really done so that what we do have his blessing.

In addition we relate to other human beings (hablum minannas) we also have a relationship with the Creator (hablum minallah), so that in every action we feel someone is watching that is Allah. This belief must be an integral part of every Muslim in the business. This is because in Islam is not merely a business - the orientation of the eyes of the world but must have a clear vision of the afterlife. With a framework like that then the issue of business ethics in the spotlight important in Islamic economics. In Islamic economics, business and ethics should not be viewed as two opposing causes, a business which is a symbol of worldly affairs is also regarded as an integral part of the things that are investment hereafter. That is, if the business and investment efforts oreientasi Hereafter (intended as a totality of worship and obedience to Allah), then the business itself must be in line with moral rules based on belief in the afterlife. Even in Islam, understanding the business itself is not restricted world affairs, but also includes all our activities in the world that dibisniskan (intended as worship) for profit or reward hereafter.

If if the Muslims know and understand what it must exist in the private pembisnis accordance with existing Dustur (Al-Quran and Al-Hadith), then it will undoubtedly create a harmonious atmosphere and will knit ukhuwwah Islamiyah among us. And unto Him all matters are returned. Illaahi Anta wa yaa maqshudi ridhooka mathlubi. Wallahua'lam.
