Introduction
Islam does not separate faith from the marketplace. Every transaction you make is a spiritual act, and Allah ﷻ is watching. The Prophet ﷺ himself was a merchant, known for his honesty long before prophethood. In this lecture, Ustadh Hisham Abu Yusuf unpacks what it truly means to build wealth for Allah – not just to earn, but to earn with purpose, clarity, and integrity.
“The honest, trustworthy merchant will be with the prophets, the truthful, and the martyrs.”
— Sunan al-Tirmidhi 1209
