Islamic Perspectives on Business: Concept and Application of Islamic Values

The impact of Islamic values on the business operations and management across the world is undeniably significant due to the expanding of Muslim markets and populations today. These developments tender managers in both local and international companies to obtain deeper understanding about Islamic business practices, management requirements and techniques. In tandem with this imperative need, this book explores the principles of businesses from perspective of Islam. Governed by hadith and Quran, it offers an insight of the importance of business and economic activities in Islamic society as well as how the community expectations can be satisfied in an equitable and ethical manner. The book critically analyzes and applies Islamic perspectives in various business functions including human resources, marketing, innovations and leadership. The edition of this book, Islamic Perspectives on Business: Concepts and Applications of Islamic Values, emphasizes on the concepts of Taqwa (God consciousness) and Tawhid (oneness of God). The concepts inspire to encourage people to behave within allowable boundaries to achieve Allahs blessing in terms of spiritual and material. At the end of the day, the fruit will be the growing and sustainable businesses. Eventually, this cultivates an environment where all human beings benefit, not only in accumulating their fortune but at the same time blessed with a life that they want to live in harmony and reclaim some of their lost Islamic values.
