Islam: The Original Ethical Framework
Long before “ESG” or “impact investing,” Islam set the foundation for ethical commerce — fairness, justice, and transparency.
Faith-Inspired Leadership for Modern Times
Muslim entrepreneurs are well-positioned to guide this shift. Their businesses can naturally align with sustainability, equity, and community welfare.
From Values to Value Creation
Modern capitalism prizes profit; Islam emphasizes barakah — meaningful prosperity. A business that uplifts its workers and community is one that truly thrives.
Building the Ummah Economy
As Muslim founders collaborate globally, they can redefine “ethical capitalism” — one rooted in accountability to both humanity and the Divine.
