The Muslim Entrepreneur: 10 Success Principles from the Greatest Muslim Entrepreneurs

by Oumar Soule

Do you want to be a wealthy Muslim?

 

Would you like to know who the successful Muslims are and what are they doing?

If so, you are at the right place.

 

I am going to introduce to you some of the world’s most brilliant Mus- lim Entrepreneurs. They have opened up and shared their secrets.

 

The world of business and success is tough and very competitive. Some other authors have written extensively on the subject of success. They also have covered the biographies of successful entrepreneurs.

 

However that information is only partially relevant to a Muslim au- dience since a big part of success is dependent on one’s beliefs and spiritual values. This is the first book that deals exclusively with Mus- lim Entrepreneurs.

 

What are they doing to win big in today’s competitive environment?

 

I had the privilege to interview 40 of them and this book is the result. This information is purely derived from the teachings of Muslim En- trepreneurs that are achieving an unusual level of success in terms of income, impact and originality. These entrepreneurs are from different parts of the World – from the Indian subcontinent to the Middle East to Africa, Europe and North America.

 

You are in for a ride! Buckle your seat belt! To the Author’s knowledge,

 

this is the first time such a book has been released in the last few centuries.

 

So, if you’re wondering; how can I make a lot of money as a Muslim? How can I gain an advantage over the rest?

What can I do with my money?

 

What challenges can I expect along the way?

 

What skills do I need to succeed in today’s marketplace?

 

Then know that these are exactly the questions “The Muslim Entrepreneur” answers. And much more!

 

I will see you on the other side inshaAllah.

I don't know what should be the genre of this book. Finance? Or, Business? Or, Islamic? Or, Entrepreneurship?
I think, may be it's "Halal Entrepreneurship or Islamic Entrepreneurship."

The author, Oumar, pointed out the top halal rules for success in money making for Muslim Entrepreneurs. Though it's written on the cover "10 secrets" , I think he has sheared almost 50 secrets.

And most lovely thing in this book is, in every point of money, after talking about making money and building your own empire, he relates it with (Imaam) Faith - Belief in Allah SWT.

He discussed about the power of DU'AA'& DHIKIR. The power of Pure Intentions (Niyyah). The power of maintaining kinship etc.

In some cases, he made me to think again. Some of the explanations of Quranic verses I've read before, he made me see those verses in a different perspective. A Entrepreneur's perspective.

He beautifully explains, how business has been promoted by the Prophet PBUH and in Islamic Sariah and idle interest has been discouraged.

He has also discussed about Passive or Leveraged Income in a different name. And also the visualization and affirmation in a different name. But all the time, he reconnects all of those things with Faith in Allah SWT. That's really interesting in this book.

He also tried to figure out the right / correct things out if the wrong.

I'll suggest you to read a complete part or chapter or paragraph, if you've started that para. Cause, in some places it can make you think wrongly until you finished that part.

In a nutshell, am amazing book which combines the Faith (Imaam) and Islam with Business, Marketing and Investing.

Thanks Sohan for recommending this amazing book.

I want to say Jazaakumullahu khairun for this book - it's what I've been searching for for the last 6 years as a business owner. I have learnt a lot from the western perspective yet there was still a piece missing for me all these years. Alhamdulilah your book came at the perfect time - last ten nights of Ramadan! I have gained more clarity to become wealthy and successful as a Muslim entrepreneur by reading your book. You have researched the topic extensively and presented it coherently with excellent examples to learn from and emulate. I pray for your success in this world and the next and i pray every Muslim entrepreneur grabs their copy of your book and gets down to business immediately! It's time for us to become assets to our families, our Ummah and humanity now!

The Muslim entrepreneur explains the philosophy employed by Muslim entrepreneurs. What did they have in mind behind the scenes while what we see is running a business. How connecting with God can help you in launching a successful business and it contains the biggest secret of increasing your income which is how to divide your income into 3 thirds....to understand what to do with each third then read the book :)

Very nice book. Got to know many muslim entrepreneurs around the qorld, and learn from their experience and lessons.

After reading this book I see money and business in a different way. I see it as something good and as a noble goal when you have the right niyyah (intention).

I ask Allah SWT to help us achieve the best of this world and the next life.

Excellent piece of writing I must say very unique and motivating

I have gone through many books but this one is really a master piece and at such a young age this is really beneficial.

It’s just not for me. Buku ini lebih kayak buku motivasi untuk pekerja yang pengen jadi enterpreneur pemula. Tapi motivasinya pun kurang ngena karena banyak poin yang diulang-ulang dan terasa “b aja”.

Buku ini kalau dirangkum poin-poin utamanya mungkin cuma akan jadi 1 halaman aja, dan ngga ada yang bener-bener baru atau yg membedakan dari buku motivasi enterpreneurship dari barat (kecuali soal keyakinan Allah pasti memberi kita rejeki selama kita mau berusaha dan soal zakat/sedekah, tentu aja). Mungkin ekspektasiku yg ketinggian pas baca judulnya, berharap author bisa menjelaskan lebih dalam dari perspektif Islam dan lebih praktikal :(

There is two sides of the book, the good one is about how successful Muslim entrepreneur managed to thrive and how this is in no contradiction with the religious belief.
The second part is about the business advice which I think was very vague and over simplified, you will be better with other specialized books

First, Words aren't powerful enough to describe the beauty of this book.The book is Simple, clear, to the point, and supported by examples of Muslim Entrepreneurs' stories and experiences in business.

Secondly, I liked the way the author explained each success principle inn terms of both Quran & Sunnah.

Finally, I urge every Muslim to read it before starting his/her business. It's a must read masterpiece!
