Sometimes I ask myself, "What does it really take to
become a prosperous Muslim Entrepreneur? I often wind up looking into the lives
of the prior generation of Muslims and some from the centuries as well to take
a look at this distinguishing trait. The simple fact is, entrepreneurial
lifestyle is so sweet to be given up on with significant breakthrough in
technology that simplify the actions and multiply the profits while cutting
price.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gm-VtrYuz1s/WaSKtZd38bI/AAAAAAAAADQ/6M3L93iUGoEWDmjYy7LR6CgYICe5FOJ7QCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC2066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Muslim Entrepreneurs" border="0" data-original-height="1069" data-original-width="1600" height="133" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gm-VtrYuz1s/WaSKtZd38bI/AAAAAAAAADQ/6M3L93iUGoEWDmjYy7LR6CgYICe5FOJ7QCLcBGAs/s200/_DSC2066.jpg" title="" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While brainstorming on the decision to become an
Entrepreneur, you first probably think around the typical fears -- those that
withhold you from researching the possibilities. At the moment, release
yourself of these ideas and imagine how exciting it is to be a Muslim
entrepreneur. However, you do want to understand just what goes into
that, right?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
1. Fearlessness</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is bravery with guts. The Muslim entrepreneur is one
Who takes action despite the circumstance. He is based solely on Allah for
success when working relentlessly in the pursuit of his dreams. All of us have
fears but should we let the fear of beginning to overcome our guts of
succeeding, then we have only succeeded in failing before beginning. Simply
take the courageous step of beginning, you do not know how far it can take you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
2. Legitimacy</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pure investment plan: A Muslim entrepreneur is always
Mindful of what business enterprise to invest in thinking about the sanctuary
of Allah. He attempts to do business within the tenets of what is permitted in
Islam and stays away from the prohibited sources of revenue. This principle
purifies your riches and makes it easier for its transformation to acts of
worship.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
3. Up and Doing</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1 characteristic that cuts across successful Muslim
entrepreneurs Is their capacity to grow and grind in the wee hours. They begin
their day submissively seeking Allah's bounties. For the Prophet (PBUH) stated that the morning is blessed for this ummah. Successful Muslim
entrepreneurs are not idle in their business approach, they don't just work
hard but they work smart and pray also.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
4. Thankfulness</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gratitude is a fruit of great cultivation as Allah
Illustrates: "if you're grateful, I will provide you more". This is
key for successful Muslim entrepreneurs, they show gratitude to Allah for His
blessings on which they've obtained and in turn Allah blesses them with more
from His bounties.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
5. Capital and profit reinvestment</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have seen many successful Muslim entrepreneurs stressing
This strategy more than sufficient. You don't increase your standard of living
as you've increased income. <a href="https://happymuslimfamily.org/modanisa-hijab-fashion/">The more you put into your business</a>, the more
returns you would get from it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
6. Diversified Ventures</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A successful example we could learn from here is Aliko
Dangote -- Africa's wealthiest man. He began little from pantry and grocery
goods and scaled his company with time into getting the biggest cement
factories across Africa and is presently building a refinery worth $17 billion
USD that will enable about half a million workers when completed.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2>
7. Spend in charity</h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lastly, successful Muslim entrepreneurs are not greedy, they
spend out of what Allah has blessed them with for people who are in need. It
was stated that when Abdur Rehman bin 'Auf's (R.A.) caravan arrives
from Sham, he would distribute everything in charity before the sun sets out.
Charity is one secret that increases wealth also.</div>

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cdxgoeAC6BA/WaSHoXzZkmI/AAAAAAAAACk/ZK4isyz90xEkctacUxBBS5g-VOp1xXn7QCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC1985.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="rizq and wealth in islam" border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cdxgoeAC6BA/WaSHoXzZkmI/AAAAAAAAACk/ZK4isyz90xEkctacUxBBS5g-VOp1xXn7QCLcBGAs/s400/_DSC1985.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Allah blesses something, its advantages increase many
fold. Even a little bit of wealth that's full of barakah can provide multiple
advantages to the believer beyond and far he who has lots of riches but no
barakah.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you have been feeling as though your wealth does not have
barakah lately, or you would just like to grow the barakah and rizq, then these
are some of the best methods you could gain from Allah's infinite mercy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
1. Rise Early</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ever noticed, how you always feel you get more ideas and more
done when you start very early in the morning?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The time between Tahajjud and mid-day are most blessed for
seeking sustenance. The sooner we increase the more we can benefit from these
lucky hours for any job we do insha Allah.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
2. Obey Your Parents</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Allah (SWT) frequently withholds rizq from those that are
disobedient to their parents. 1 brother tells a story of how he was incredibly
reluctant to perform an errand his mother had requested of him since it was
going to take all afternoon, and he wished to devote time to his company. But
then he chose to do as his mother asked of him. The following morning, the
client he'd been chasing for the past two months signed a new contract, even
though it was increasingly looking like they would not sign.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
3. Give Sadaqah</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Frequently a clear one in a list such as this, but what many
May not be aware of is that one doesnt need to give sadaqah with only their
wealth. Sadaqah may also be given with energy and time. An individual might
choose to give their talent and skill to a non-profit, or assist a neighbour
with their backyard or moving house. These are all acts of sadaqah and place
barakah in our prosperity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5sqAPI71vv0/WaSH60U9yeI/AAAAAAAAACo/2hRYZLBtbUwWMr2YdYPn1A7LOFHikh3_wCLcBGAs/s1600/_DSC3683.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Muslim Family and Marriage" border="0" data-original-height="1068" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5sqAPI71vv0/WaSH60U9yeI/AAAAAAAAACo/2hRYZLBtbUwWMr2YdYPn1A7LOFHikh3_wCLcBGAs/s400/_DSC3683.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
4. Honour Contracts</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It's incredibly important to honor every aspect of a
contract. Contracted for 5 hours of work, but left for home 10 mins early?
Promised to send 10 boxes in two weeks, but delivered five boxes in 3 days and
a second five a week later? Agreed to pay off the debtor in 20 days, but rather
paid it back in a few months? Situations like these seem quite trivial given
how company often works now, but as Muslim people hold ourselves to higher
standards of accountability. Even verbal claims in Islam are binding, therefore
to safeguard our prosperity, we must honor our contracts to the letter, even
though merely agreed verbally. To sum up, your word is your bond.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
5. Be Like the Bee</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When the sahabah requested the Prophet (SAW) the way they should
run themselves in business, he said: "Be like the Bee". </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did you know that if the Shrimp takes pollen from the
flower, it hovers on the flower petals but not completely rests on them? This
so not to put the flower unto undue hardship. After the Bee has recovered all
it can, it informs the other bees and tells them where they also can receive
their pollen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Bee sets forth for us a great example, in that we ought
to Not put undue hardship on people we do business with, be that clients,
suppliers or even employees. We should also exchange value in such a manner
that it benefits others instead of working in a greedy tirade. Is it any wonder
that the fastest growing start-ups on earth are those that whole-heartedly
adopt the sharing market?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
6. Keep it Halal</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Engaging in work or businesses that deal with haram
Products, or using haram ways to run our company is a surefire way to encourage
stress and hardship of all types. A close proximity to haraam sets our
affiliation with wealth like water through fingers. We lose it as fast as we
make it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
7. Prevent Riba like the Plague</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Re-financing our houses or taking out interest based
business Loans to increase capital has multiple consequences from the religious
world. In the physical universe, it's a guarantee for unnecessary stress and
hardship. Islam strictly abhors Riba of all types. Even seeing interest based
transactions alone is a recipe for failure. Keep your riches pure by keeping it
free of Riba.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3>
8. Have a Good Opinion of Allah</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last but not least. Having a good view of Allah makes us more
thankful and much more content. And since the Sunnah teaches us, both gratitude
And contentment lead to a rise in Rizq. Addressing him in supplication as Ya
Razzaq ensures that we get the barakah of one of his fabulous names.</div>
