The Art of Trade - Craftmanship and Work in Islam

Know, O Muslim, may Allāh have mercy upon you, that in Islām, the concept of earning a livelihood through honest work is not just recommended but is highly encouraged, highlighting its role as an essential part of living a responsible and beneficial life. Seeking provision and engaging in business, trade, or craftsmanship is viewed as praiseworthy and beneficial to one's family and the community at large. 

For this reason, the book before you is an important work highlighting the importance of earning a wholesome living and working to build a better future. The author gathers verses of the Qurʾān, sayings of the Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessing be upon him), statements and actions of esteemed scholars of Islām and narrations from the early generations that emphasise the value of business, trade and work and warn against those who abandon it and sit idly. Working, trading, and mastering a skill is a mark of a believer – by which not only does one benefit themself but benefits society, aids Islām and the Muslim community.
