Islamic commerce

Islamic commerce is guided by principles from Islamic law (Shariah) that promote fairness, honesty, and ethical dealings. It prohibits practices like charging interest (riba), gambling (maysir), and investing in forbidden industries (haram). Instead, it emphasizes risk-sharing, transparency, and social responsibility. For example, financial transactions often involve profit-and-loss sharing arrangements. Islamic commerce aims to foster economic justice, promote moral conduct, and ensure that business activities benefit society as a whole. It balances profit-making with adherence to spiritual and ethical values rooted in Islamic teachings.
