[quote]Muslims are obliged to follow given the Islamic code of ethics and Islam's emphasis on individual responsibilities and accountability. These guidelines include honestly, truthfulness, keeping your word, loving God more than money; being humble; not dealing in fraud or bribery, and dealing justly.

How do we tell what is Haram (unlawful) or Halal (lawful) type of work? A general principle if anybody's means of earning a living hurts another, or results in another's loss or corruption, then it is Haram. Otherwise if it is fair and beneficial to others as well, then it is Halal. [b]Obviously, any business or job that involves dishonesty, bribery, cheating, fraud, or any other means of making a profit by exploiting or manipulating others, including monopoly; is forbidden to us Muslims.[/b]

[b]The Prophet Muhammad (saaw) said:[/b]

[blue]" [b]1.[/b] A time will come over men when they will consider an unlawful present as lawful".

[b]2.[/b] "The wealth which a man earns from unlawful things will not be accepted from him even if it is given in charity. If he leaves it after his death, he will increase the fire of Hell therewith. "

[b]2.[/b] "The merchants will be raised on the day of resurrection as evil-doers, except those who fear God, are honest, and speak the truth."[/blue]

[b]The Prophet Muhammad (saaw) advised us,[/b]

[blue]"Leave alone what puts you in doubt and turn toward what does not create any doubt." [Ahmad & Tirmidhi]. This is perhaps the most practical tool or tip to use in the matter under discussing.[/blue][/quote]
