The concept of tauhid or the oneness of God is the central foundation of Islam. Allah says in surah Al-Ikhlas, verses 1-4: Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.
After man testifies that there is no god but Allah, and prophet Muhammad is His Messenger, all of his actions must be based on the teaching of Islam. This is where the meaning of true submission and obedience is manifested in a life of a true believer. In other words, the entire life of a true believer is only to worship his Lord, as commonly recited in the prayer from surah Al-an’am :162: Say: "Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the Worlds
Therefore, the guidance provided by Allah in the Qur’an and sunnah of His Prophet must be followed without any doubt and hesitation in order for man to achieve real success in this world and the hereafter. Of course, this would also include conducting our economic activities.
