If Muslim business wants the supports of Muslim consumers, they will have to do more to accommodate them, provide better services and prices.

How to improve services and profits of halal business.

Make Profit the Secondary Aim:

The first goal of a Muslim business should not be cashing in on a Muslim market. It should be pleasing Allah and establishing halal as a way of life. Seeking profit is not a bad aim, but it should be secondary. By making Allah the goal and implementing Islamic rules of honesty, truthfulness and good behavior with customers, Insha Allah, any Muslim business is bound to boom.

Be Truthful and Honest:

The prophet has said the honest and truthful businessman will be in Jannah amongst the Prophets, the truthful and the martyrs. Honesty and truthfulness are essential in this business, it means building a relationship of truth with customers, which cannot be done with lies and deceit.

Be open To Scrutiny and Criticism:

This may be a bitter pill to swallow, being ready to have your products, service or business scrutinized for cleanliness or the “Halalness” of products indicates a willingness to work with customers. This serves to build trust. Remember ultimately, we are all responsible to Allah. A Halal business Is not just one person’s profit making machine. It is also an institution of the Muslim community, but most importantly the Quran and Sunnah’s standards.

Be Clean:

This is essentially important to Halal grocery eatery stores where the processing of the product could be cumbersome. Not being careful of this means not only loss of customers, but also possible sickness from germs. Similarly, our artist should be smart enough to make us attractive on the field.

This cleanliness, by the way, does not just apply to those area of store or customer as well. It includes equipment and storage areas as well. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “cleanliness” invites towards faith (iman) and faith leads it’s possessor to paradise. (Tabarani)

Aim for Higher Goal:

Don’t just aim for one successful business or get fixated on a product. Think big. Improve the inventory of your store, the types of items in it, and strive to find ways to improve regularly on your services and profit margins. As well as, look into the possibility of pooling resources within the Muslim community, with other shareholder, partnership and other Halal sources of funds to expand the business.

Work with Others in Your Market:

This can be very difficult. Finger pointing, accusations and nasty rivalry often characterize Muslim businesses aiming to market the same product. But this is not the way a Muslim economy should work. Brotherhood in the Ummah cannot be forgotten. Consider forming an association of muslim retailers or distributors that can sit down together, share experiences, and learn to Cooperate. This cooperation, in the long run, can benefit your business, the consumer and in turn the Muslim businesses.

Do Not Sell The Haram:

Beware while there are more Muslim businesses sprouting up, not everything they sell is Islamic. This requires efforts on the parts of Muslim business owners to wipe out the haram and ensure halalin their businesses. It is not difficult to find Muslim owned businesses selling pork, alcohol and pornographic magazines in the name of doing business; it is evil. There are halal products and services Muslim can engage in without Incurring Allah’s wrath.

Halal is an Arabic term meaning “lawful” or “permissible” in Islam, and it refers to anything that is allowed for Muslims to consume or use according to Islamic law. It is most commonly associated with food, which must not contain pork, alcohol, or be prepared in a way that contaminates it with haram (forbidden) substances.

Halal practices also extend beyond food to other areas like pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and they emphasize ethical treatment and high-quality standards.
