accept as the truth and this created a doubt in the heart of Imam-e-A’zam   رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه became very displeased for this and asked him, ‘Have you mixed the profit of this trade with the overall profit?’ He humbly said, ‘Yes!’ So as a precaution, and due to his piety, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said, ‘Now all this profit is not fair for me, and he ordered him to call the poor and distribute all the money to them.’ (Al-Manaqib lil-Muwaffaq, pp. 202)

Obsession of earning money by hook or by crook

Dear Islamic brothers! Just ponder! Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه distributed all that profit amongst the poor only because of a doubt, on the other hand, if we earn lots of money in business, we become extremely happy. We do not care whether we have earned it in a permissible way or not. This sentence is usually heard: Money should be earned no matter how. Just ponder over this, that the money which is earned through Haraam means, if it becomes a means of Divine wrath on the Day of Judgement, then what will we do? If Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ gets displeased with us due to this Haraam wealth, then where will we go? If because of this Haraam wealth we are destined to go to Hell, then definitely we will be forced to endure huge sufferings. We still have time now, we should differentiate between Halal and Haraam and seek Shar’i guidance from Dar-ul-Ifta Ahl-e-Sunnat regarding our business matters.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! For this very purpose, a program on Madani Channel called ‘Rulings on Business’ is very helpful. If we watch this program regularly,          اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, by virtue of its blessings we will get information of many Shar’i rulings especially on business issues. If we watch this program, then not only will it help promote our business, but it will also help make our Madani mind to prepare for the Hereafter, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

Travelled to return the extra amount

It has been narrated that a person came to Kufa from Madinah to buy expensive clothes. That cloth was only found by Imam-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه. People told the man: When you to go his store, he will place the cloth according to your wish in front of you, buy the cloth without asking any questions and do not negotiate the price, as Abu Hanifah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه himself
