Abstract

This paper investigates the importance of justice and fair dealings in business activities. Twentieth-first century is considered the century of development for globalization and consumerism. Due to this, many other countries had indulged in effects of consumerism. And Islamic countries that have a totally different culture than the western culture, these countries also did not remain free from its influences. While Islamic doctrine has vivid commandments to deal with fair dealings and prohibited to eat others' wealth wrongfully. But unfortunately, in Muslims societies, unfair dealings and low-quality things are being occurred. This denotes now Muslims are not acting fully upon Islamic doctrines. The proof of low quality may be analyzed from adulteration. Besides this, the low quantity or tricks for short measuring & less weighing are also used in business. These types of tricks are apparently against the consumers but in actual these will be against the sellers in the sense of accountability in the hereafter. In this article, the necessity of fair dealings refers to justice among the individuals of the society that cannot be ignored for the promotion of society. In this paper, a conceptual study regarding some texts of Holy Quran has presented that highlight the importance of just dealings that promote the business and the status of man before the man in the world and in the hereafter, its reward will be awarded to truthful and fair traders.
