What is it about?
As applied to the world of commerce and business, the Islamic impact has delineated a set of expected norms and behaviors. Those norms revolve around certain pillars underlying Islamic business ethics that include faith, justice, benevolence, and trusteeship. This chapter provides examples of how such assumptions are manifested in attitudes, behaviors, and rules within Islamic practice. It focuses on the attributes that reflect some common understandings that support the pillars. The attributes include: knowledge is important; ethics can be learned; role models; moderation; mystical intuition; cooperation; care; and perfection.
