Topic: Occupations of Prophets(A.S):


Definition of Business:
In the light of Quran:
1. Do not devour anothers property wrongfully unless it be by trade based on
mutual consent. (Al-Nisa:29)
2. And measure full when you measure. And weigh with an even balance. This
is better and its end is good. (Al-Bani-Israel:35)

In the light of Hadith:


1. Whosoever sells a defective product without disclosing its defect to
the purchaser, shall earn the permanent anger of Allah Almighty and
angels continuously curse such person. (Ibn-e-Maja)
2. May Allahs mercy be on him who is lenient in his buying, selling and in
demanding back his money. (Bukhari)

According to world:

Business means any lawful economic activity which is conducted to


earn profit through satisfaction of human wants.

created by ALLAH and lived in paradise of Eden. He was the first Prophet which was
sending down by (All Mighty) ALLAH. He was the first agriculture engineer and farmer.

one will not care how one earns one's money, legally or illegally." (Bukhari)

Brotherhood between the Muhajirin and the Ansar :


The Messenger of Allah established brotherhood between the Muhajirin and the Ansar,
and they were put under an obligation to assist one another. The Ansar were so eager to
form a brotherhood that they had to draw lots to allocate their shares. The Ansar gave the
Muhajirin authority over their homes, their furniture, their land and their animals and
preferred them over themselves in every way.
An Ansari would say to a Muhajir, 'Have whichever half of my property you want to
take,' and the Muhajir would say, 'May Allah bless you in your family and property!
Show me the market.' From the Ansar there was great benevolence as they demonstrated
their generosity to their Muslim brothers while the Muhajirin retained their self-respect.

Helping the poor:


Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (
) said, "The one who looks after a
widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allah's Cause, or like
him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day."
[Sahih bukhari, Volume 7, Book 64, Number 265]

With Prophets and Saints:


Prophet (P.B.U.H) said:
Businessman who is honest and trustworthy will be together with the PROPHET the saints and
the martyrs.

Eye Opening Words in the Quran:


Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among
you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as te likeness of vegetation after rain, tereof
te growt is pleasing to te tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; ten it
becomes strawl. [57:20]
