Secret of successful business

Dear Islamic brothers! Islam is a complete religion and has to be followed in every field of human life. Islam not only shows us the methods of worship, it also guides us fully about the matters of life so that no field of life can be incomplete and Muslims may not be in need of any others except Islam in any act. Some forms of acquiring wealth are permissible and some are impermissible. For earning Halal sustenance it is essential to acquire what is permissible and to abstain from what is impermissible. A person should act upon permissible manners and avoid that which is impermissible.
