Excelling in Commerce & Trade with Faith & Integrity

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَأْكُلُوا أَمْوَالَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِالْبَاطِلِ

"O ye who believe! Devour not your property among yourselves by unlawful means, except that you earn by trade with mutual consent." — Holy Quran (4:29)

Hazrat Musleh Maud (RA)

Hazrat Musleh Maud (RA)

Second Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community

"Engage in trade and commerce with full trust in Allah and with the highest degree of honesty. Do not let the pursuit of wealth distract you from your spiritual duties, nor let your faith be an excuse to neglect your worldly responsibilities."

Hazrat Musleh Maud (RA) consistently emphasised that Ahmadis must distinguish themselves in every field of life — including commerce, industry, and trade — as ambassadors of true Islamic values. He urged members to become economically self-sufficient so they could better serve the Jamaat and humanity.

Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (RA)

Khalifatul Masih Al-Rabi' — Friday Sermon, 15 April 1983

In his landmark sermon on excelling in all fields including Sanat-O-Tijarat, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (RA) called upon all Ahmadi Muslims to pursue excellence in commerce, trade, and craftsmanship as a religious and communal obligation.

He outlined that the progress of the Jamaat was deeply linked to the economic and professional advancement of its members, and that engaging in honest trade was itself a form of worship. This sermon remains a foundational reference for our department's mission.

Landmark Sermon on Commerce & Excellence

Khutbat-e-Tahir · Volume 2

Friday Sermon on Excelling in All Fields Including Sanat-O-Tijarat

Hazrat Mirza Tahir Ahmad (RA) · 15 April 1983 · Pages 217–228

In this landmark sermon, Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (RA) delivered a comprehensive vision for Ahmadi Muslims to excel in commerce, trade, and craft — not merely as a worldly pursuit, but as a divine obligation. He outlined that economic strength of the Jamaat was inseparable from its spiritual mission.

He called on members to pursue professional and business excellence as an act of worship, to engage in ethical trade, to avoid all forms of dishonesty, and to contribute their skills and resources to the betterment of society.

"A believer who engages in honest commerce, who deals fairly with all people regardless of their faith, who uses the blessings of Allah in His path — such a person fulfils a noble duty and elevates the standing of the Jamaat in the eyes of the world."
