• There are two types of profits; monetary/material profit and rewards from Allah for doing a business. Rewards from Allah here do not only confine to the promise of His heaven, but it also includes spiritual and moral rewards such as stronger yaqin and taqwa, good relationships/ brotherhood with suppliers/clients, knowledge and experience, increasing contacts, rising customers etc.
• In Islam, a businessman must realize that his business objective is to get blessing and rewards from Allah. Nonetheless, there are many businessmen ended up committing sins.
• Simultaneously, a businessman also wants to make monetary profit. However, this objective also subjects to loss.
• Therefore, a good business is a business that is blessed by Allah and it also generates a good profit to the owner.

Wealth Creation
• Wealth can be divided into spiritual and material wealth.
• In Islam, spiritual wealth will create multiple amount of material wealth.
• Man is the capital for wealth creation. Man’s taqwa is the source of capital for wealth creation (like bank) and man’s intellect is the cause of material wealth creation.
• Riba will not increase wealth but charity will multiply wealth.
• Strenghening brotherhood and love is another source of wealth creation.
• 9/10 of sustenance comes from trade.
• Material wealth is not the objective of life but in fact, blessing from Allah is the main objective.
• Honesty pays handsomely.
