islamic buisness tips

Some general guidelines govern the Islamic code of ethics with relation to both one's daily life and business conduct. Muslims are required to behave Islamically in their business dealings because Allah Himself is witness to their transactions:

In whatever business you may be, and whatever portion you may be reciting from the Qur'an and whatever deed you may be doing We are Witnesses thereof when you are deeply engrossed therein. [Al Qur'an 10:61]

Here are some key business principles that Muslims should follow.

Be Honest and Truthful. Honesty and truthfulness are qualities which a Muslim business person should develop and practice in himself. Truth, for example, has a self-reinforcing effect. In a hadith reported in Sahih al Bukhari.

 

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. A man continues to tell the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to al fujuwr (i.e. wickedness, evil-doing), and al fujuwr (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may continue to tell lies till he is written before Allah, a liar." [Hadith No. 8.116]

 

Honesty and truth is especially important for Muslim business persons because of the need to make a profit and the temptations to enhance the attributes of their product of service during a sales pitch. This is why the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

The merchants will be raised on the Day of Resurrentction as evil-doers, except those who fear Allah, are honest and speak the truth. [Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Darimi]

Keep Your Word. In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) is reported to have said:

If you guarantee me six things on your part I shall guarantee you Paradise. Speak the truth when you talk, keep a promise when you make it, when you are trusted with something fulfill your trust, avoid sexual immorality, lower your gaise, and restrain your hands from injustice." [Ubadah Ibn al Samit, Ahmad, Bayhaqi]

Love Allah More Than Your Trade. We must love Allah even if we have to sacrifice everything else. Allah warns in the Qur'an, which is translated to mean:

Say, "If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that you have gained; the commerce in which you fear a decline; or the dwellings in which you delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause -then wait until Allah brings about His Decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious." [Al Qur'an 9:24]

Deal with Muslims before Dealing with Non-Muslims. In a sound hadith, the Prophet (peace be upon him) hired a polytheist as a guide at the time of his migration from Makkah to Madinah, thus entrusting him with his life and money. The people of the tribe of Khuza'ah, who included both Muslims and non-Muslims, acted as scouts for the Prophet (peace be upon him). In a hadith reported by Sa'd, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked Muslims to seek medical treatment from al Harith Ibn Kaldah, who was a disbeliever. [Abu Dawud, Hadith no. 3866]

 

However, as As Sayyid Sabiq pointed out, if a Muslim physician is present, one should seek his or her treatment and not turn to anyone else. The same applies when one has to entrust a person with funds or deal with him in business. [Fiqh-us-Sunnah 4, 6.a, paragraph 4.]

Be Humble in how You Conduct Your Life. Muslims must not lead a life of extravagance, and must exhibit good-will in any transactions among themselves.

O you who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: but let there be amongst you traffic and trade by mutual good-will: nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah has been to you Most Merciful. [Al Qur'an 4:29]

Use Mutual Consultation in Your Affars. In describing the characterstics of those who will receive higher and more permanent gifts from Him, Allah stresses the importance of consultation.

Those who hearken to their Lord; and estrablish regular prayer; who (conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation, who spend out of what we bestow on them for sustenance. [Al Qur'an 42:38]

Do Not Deal in Fraud. Businessmen should avoid duplicity. They should treat others in the same righteous and fair manner that they themselves would like to be treated.

Woe to those that deal in fraud those who when they have to receive by measure from men exact full measure. But when they have to give by measure or weight to men give less than due. Do they not think that they will be called to account? [Al Qur'an 83:1-4]

Do Not Bribe. Businessmen may sometimes be tempted to offer bribes or baqshish in order to persuade another party to give them special favours or to allow them to get away with dishonest practices. The practice of bribery is forbidden in Islam.

The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed the one bribes and the one who takes bribes. [Abd Allah ibn Amr ibn Al As, Abu Dawud, hadith no 3573]

Deal Justly. The general principle that applies across all transactions including those pertaining to business is that of justice or 'adl. Allah emphasizes this point in the Qur'an:

Deal not unjustly, and you shall not be dealt with unjustly. [Al Qur'an 2:279]

islamic business and hadith

https://www.imamreza.net/eng/imamreza.php?id=3264

Islam Encourages Business

The Holy Prophet (SAW) has said:
"There are 70 parts of Ibadat. The best part of it is that of earning in a Halaal way, the best action is to work and earn livelihood by Halaal means. If a person earns by Halaal means then he will get the Thawab equal to the Prophets (A) on the day of Qiyamat."
The Shariah of Islam encourages Trade. There are 10 parts of earning, out of which 9 parts are in business.
However, the Imams (A) always said that a person engaging in trade must know its Masails to avoid falling into sinning.

Etiquette of doing Business
The Holy Prophet (S) said that when doing trade to note the following points :
1. No interest should be transacted (details to follow).
2. No swearing should be done even if one is speaking the truth.
3. Seller should not conceal defect of his own goods.
4. Seller should not falsely praise the quality of ones goods.
5. A buyer should not find fault falsely in goods when buying.
There are 4 Mustahabats to follow while in business transaction :
1. Price should be equal to all Muslims.
2. In question of price, one should not be harsh while dealing.
3. Give more and take less in quantitative measurements.
4. To take goods if returned if buyer does not want goods.
It is Wajib for a person to earn enough so that he may be able to feed his wife and children.
Six types of trades are Haraam:
To buy or sell intoxicating drinks, non-hunting dogs, pigs, dead animals e.g. meat, skins, hides of non-zabiha animals, etc. Other dealings involving Najis items is allowed if a good and logic use of it is being made e.g. fertilisers, etc.
To buy or sell wild animals.
To buy or sell Ghasbi (usurped) things.
To buy or sell goods used for Haraam purposea, e.g. instruments of gambling, etc.
To receive or give interest during transactions.
To sell adulterated (mixed) goods with full prior knowledge - for example, seeling a bag of flour that contains chalk as well, etc.
Types of trade which are Makruh are:
To sell ones estate or buildings, unless if one is going to buy a new estate (It is recommended in Shariah of Islam that one should live in ones own house).
Just slaughtering animals (It is said that in doing so ones mind becomes very hard).
Just to sell Kafan (shroud). As a side business it is allowed.
To do transaction with people of low morals e.g. thieves, smugglers, etc.
To do any business during the time from Dawn to Sunrise. It is the time reserved for the Ibadat of Allah.
To sell grains of foods, because if hoarding is committed then the consequences to be faced from Allah are grave so it has been made Makruh.
To swear during a transaction even when it is true.

INTEREST AND USURY
The basic element of Interest is the exchange of one commodity for the same commodity with an increase in payment. The Islamic law strictly prohibits Usury (the practice of lending money at a rate of Interest). The practice of Usury is equal to acting with hostility against Allah and the Holy Prophet (S). The Holy Quran says:
"O Believers, have fear of Allah and forego what is still due to you from usury, if you are (true) believers; but if you do not do so, be warned of war against you by Allah and His Messenger" (al-Baqarah, 2:278)
Our 8th Imam, Imam Ali ar-Reza (A) has said:
"Usury is unlawful, for Allah, the Almighty has forbidden it because it brings ruin and leads to the wastage of the property of the people. Everybody becomes interested in making easy profit and gives up the practice of advancing Interest-free loans, though it is an act of virtue to help the needy and to lend them money without Interest. In any case, Usury leads to corruption, injustice, violation of the rights of others and the wastage of property."

EVIL RESULTS OF USURY
The above Hadith clearly mentions the evil results of Usury. Other common effects of Usury are:
1. Exploitation and destruction of the poor in a society:
In most cases a person borrows money because his needs are greater than his earnings. By taking a loan on Interest, his debt becomes more than he actually needed. Furthermore, his needs begin to continue rising in more proportion than his earnings; thus widening the gap between income and expenditure. On top of the widening gap if he had to pay Interest then his position would worsen to an extent where most of his income would be used up in repaying the Interest and would not be paying the loan off yet.
2. Strengthening the rich society:
With Usury, the rich get richer; as a result the rich society takes control over both the production and consumption of commodities. They control the prices of almost all items, even those grown and produced overseas. Two extremes of the rich and the poor, the well-fed and the starving, the powerful and the powerless; are created in the society. Sadly however, these same rich society then misuses its power and influence to rule over the peoples' properties, honour and lives in any way they wish and desire. Because of their financial power, the rich become arrogant, an attitude totally denounced by Islam.
3. Discouragement towards helping a fellow Muslim:
Because of the temptation of receiving Interest in the extra money lying in the banks, one may be discouraged in advancing an Interest-free loan to a fellow Muslim who is needy, in spite of the fact that Allah has promised abundant reward for lending Interest-free loan money and has regarded this act better than giving the charity.
4. Creation of unemployment:
Due to Interest incentive, many individuals keep their money in the high Interest earning banks instead of investing in the business or industries which create employment. Even if the banks invest the money of savers, they would do it in those areas that benefit them, taking no consideration of the benefit of the poor section of the society.
5. Inflation:
Due to high Interest rates on the borrowing of loans, the production cost rises resulting into high prices of commodities. Furthermore, since the rich continues getting richer, he can afford to bid higher prices of goods especially those items whose availability is scarce.

TAKING INTEREST FROM KAFIR:
According to fatwas of Ayatullah Seestani, a Muslim cannot take Interest from Kafir-e-Zimmi (those kafirs who are under the protection of Islamic state).
It is Ehttyate Wajib not to take Interest from all other Kafirs who are known as Kafir-e-Harbi.
However, in case the Kafirs in both the above cases, agree to pay the Interest on there own free will, then the amount may be accepted not as Interest but with other intentions.

Prashant may not have cleared his board exams, but he is bringing an organic revolution to his small village in Gujarat

https://yourstory.com/2017/02/prashant-jogiya-porbandar/

How a village lad found inspiration to go against all odds and follow his heart to connect with the soil and work with natural methods of farming
Prashant Jogiya grew up in a small village called Aadityana near Porbandar in Gujarat.His family had high hopes pinned on him till he was in Class X, considering he was good at studies. But very soon, he lost connect with the education system and decided to not slog at it any longer. He quit school and started to explore life.

Prashant Jogiya at Paras Sanjeevani

Over the last few decades, little-known Aadityana has been put on the map of the cement industry by Hathi Cement. A rich source of limestone and other stones, the land in this region has been extensively mined in a step towards a ‘modern’ economy. Many people have set up small industries around the natural resources of the region and families without the resources are restricted to rely on farming. Prashant’s family in also involved in the industry and manufactures paints, distemper and provide ancillary services. Naturally, this was an industry Prashant was pushed into but he soon ran away from it all after a few months. He then tried out working at a few industries in Porbandar but none of these stints lasted for more than six months.
His family also had a piece of land where they did farming as a small alternative and this is where Prashant felt like trying out his hand. He was hardly 19 then but his family had already started losing faith in him. “I went to the farm. Dug a little here and watered the crops, but I wasn’t there completely. There was a lot of disturbance within me. There had to be something more,” he tells us while taking us through his farm.

Foray into farming

For a few months, Prashant continued but everyone thought he’d soon give this up on as well. “I saw a lot of chemicals being sprayed and the entire process of farming felt very disconnected,” he says. He started to read a little in the newspapers and magazines and heard about organic farming. He connected with the concept and decided that he’d turn to organic farming. This was even a bigger point of ridicule in the village. A young lad who hasn’t ever done farming was going to do organic farming! 'Do you know the effort that is required?', 'Do you know there is no market for organic here', were some of the questions hurled at him. He knew there were difficulties but the path felt right.
Prashant stopped using chemicals on the little piece of land he was supposed to take care of. He turned to as many organic practices he came across but life was still far from being a bed of roses. There was no visible change in the field and the situation didn’t improve. “I was still not satisfied, there had to be a way somewhere from here,” he thought.
One day, he came across an article about making amrut maati and amrut jal, which do wonders for the soil. The article spoke about NatuEco farming method but didn’t have many details (Deepak Suchde is a popular figure in the world of natural farming and is credited to taking forward Natueco science of farming initiated by Professor Shripad Dabholkar). Prashant read about the techniques and he recognised a way forward but had no clue about where to find out more.

Deepak Suchde

The search

Prashant cut a clipping and kept it with him for close to a year. “I used to ask everyone who spoke of organic farming about this man but no one knew anything about it,” he recollects.
The nearby Hanuman Ashram in Mocha, which is run by a French swamini who in herself is a mesmerizing story, became the turning point for Prashant. Jitu bhai, a friend of Deepak Suchde’s, used to visit the ashram and mentioned to the swamini that she could connect him to anyone from the village if they were interested in organic farming.
News reached Prashant and he ended up meeting Jitu bhai at the Mocha ahram. Prashant found his gateway to NatuEco farming and ended up visiting Deepak Suchde in Bajwada, Madhya Pradesh where his quest found an answer.

Time to implement

After two brief visits, Prashant had found a connection and the faith to stay true to his intention of natural farming. “Staying with baba changed me as a person and opened new doors for me. I now found a language to talk with plants and grow together,” says Prashant.

He now meditates before entering the farm and treats the entire ecosystem around him as one. “We don’t do any weeding or scare away the animals. The universe has its way of balancing everything and producing enough for everyone. If we can just let things be and exist as support instead of intervening so much, everything is available in abundance already,” he tells us over some fresh coconut water from the farm.
A validation came for him when once a certain pest attack had spread a disease in the coconut trees in the region. Agricultural universities suggested injecting a chemical in the roots of the tree to save them. All farmers did that but Prashant refused. “My family was fighting with me and warned me that the entire field will be wiped out but I had faith. I stood by my crops and prayed to the pests. I asked them not to go away since they’d be killed elsewhere but also not to destroy the coconut trees,” says Prashant.
And as faith would have it, his prayers were answered in seven months. The pests are still there but coconut trees started to flourish again. The other farmers couldn’t believe their eyes and still ridiculed the occurring but Prashant had seen a ray of light.

Spreading the organic goodness

Prashant has been following NatuEco farming for close to five years now. The farm ‘Paras Sanjeevani’ produces organic coconuts, peanuts, papaya and other medicinal plants. “Early this year, we started a WhatsApp group for people in Porbandar who want organic produce,” says Prashant. Starting out with seven subscribers, the base is growing and Prashant is putting in extensive efforts to turn the tide towards organic farming in this little-known region.

Prashant with guests at his farm

Taking inspiration from him, many famers visited him from around but only one person, Vitthal, has followed his footsteps. “We’re still a long, long way from making any impact. My family is now starting to support me but there’s so much that needs to be done! We want to create a market and take this method of farming to as many farmers as possible. We want to make farming respectable again,” says Prasahant.
This young man’s story is one of hope and inspiration. In the middle of nowhere, someone gets this message of listening to nature and follows his heart, finds an answer and is now on his way towards realising it completely. There are many such stories across the world and if we all work towards creating an environment for such seeds to germinate, the world will flower into something even more beautiful

https://yourstory.com/2016/06/scrub-daddy-founder/

Some eat, some clean and some make a million dollars in the process. Meet Aaron Krause, who turned a simple idea into a million-dollar company. His success story as the CEO and founder of Scrub Daddy – a company that serves as an inspiration to all aspiring entrepreneurs, everywhere.

Scrub Daddy is a company that was founded in 2008 by Krause and Business Mogul Lori Greiner, after the latter invested in it in the fourth season of the famous reality show- ‘Shark Tank’. The company sells smiley-faced dish washing sponges that changes its texture and feel depending on the temperature of the water. The features of this sponge is that it is scratch-free and odour resistant, as well as dishwasher-safe. The sponge gets hard in cold water and soft in warm.

Krause graduated from Syracuse University in 1992, with a major in Psychology and a minor in Marketing. In his early days, Krause ran his own business detailing cars that turned into a brief success in 1994 in the small town of Bala Cynwyd, in Pennsylvania. While he was working in the production department at the company, he damaged a car as he was machine polishing and that got him to invent a new kind of buffing pad, which was acquired by the 3M Corporation in 2008.

Krause had always had a bone for invention and even as a child, would be constantly inventing in his room, much to the vexation of his family. Thus, a show like Shark Tank served as the perfect platform for him to showcase his talents.

“The show highlights people with inventions who are going through a process that I’ve gone through many times – having an idea and figuring out how to fund it and bring it to market. The program shows you the process in a fun and entertaining way, but it also gets people’s creative juices flowing. What better way to show the entire country in one media outlet your product and make it where it’s not a commercial, but something people want to watch,” says Krause in an interview with SJ Magazine.

Krause came up with the idea behind ‘Scrub Daddy’ in the strangest way. During his days of manufacturing buffing pads for cars, working with the chemicals in the factory would often get his hands scrubby and greasy. He thus initially began to formulate the concept of the Scrub Daddy sponges for cleaning hands purposes, and after toying around with several different materials, found the perfect combination for it. But his eureka moment took place another day-

“I took some Scrub Daddy sponges home to wash my deck furniture and left one in the sink. At home, my wife cooks, and I do the dishes. I used the Scrub Daddy to wash the dishes, and the skies opened up. I realized I missed the boat. This thing had nothing to do with scrubbing your hands. It was the greatest kitchen sponge I ever used,” he said.

When Krause took part in the Season Four of Shark Tank, he didn’t know if his product was strong enough to sell to the investors. But the tides were turned in his favour and one of the ‘Sharks’, Lori Greiner, also called ‘The Queen of QVC’, saw some potential in his product and made him a deal of $200,000 in return for a 20 per cent equity. She even helped him expand his product line by bringing Scrub Daddy into QVC and stores like Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart and Target, where they have become best-sellers.

On being asked about co-partnering Scrub Daddy with Greiner, Krause said- “Our goal is to have this in every supermarket, drug store chain and major retailer in the country and in the world. I’ve already been contacted by probably 20 countries since “Shark Tank” aired. They want to be distributers of the product.”(as stated in the SJ Magazine)

Krause emphasizes on the need to make your product unique and to sell it the right way. In the case of Scrub Daddy sponges, his pitch was-

    It had been tested on all surfaces- like glass, ceramics, plastic, stainless steel and non-stick cookware and it didn’t scratch any of these surfaces.

    It is dishwasher and machine-washer safe, rinse-clean and always comes back yellow.

    It shows no odours and no aesthetic changes to the product.

    Finally, the ‘eye-hole’ feature of the sponge, through which you can put your fingers which makes the sponge stay on your hand instead of you having to hold onto it. This would also allow greater access to cleaning the sides and bottoms of the various utensils, which otherwise often lead a spot.

The fact that one can endorse an idea as simple as making a smiley-shaped sponge (USP: more durable, hygienic and effective than a traditional sponge) that can be turned into a multi-million business, goes to show that if you play your cards right, the world will invest in your idea too. Krause’s philosophy towards all entrepreneurs is much the same- to believe in your product and make it the best.

https://yourstory.com/2017/01/the-gourmet-jar-apeksha-jain/



Apeksha Jain’s experiment with making jam led her to start a company that makes artisanal jams, preserves, and relishes. 
Food is as much about technique as it is about instinct. You could follow a recipe to a T and still not get the desired results but following your gut helps you stir that magic into food. Through The Gourmet Jar, Apeksha Jain has done just that.
The 35-year-old’s tryst with food started when she was 15 because, as she says, “I have a big family of foodies. I loved cooking for all of them and felt really satisfied when they would enjoy what I made!”
Be it with VCs or customers, Apeksha has let her products do the talking, and we caught up with her to talk about inspiration, recipes, and any big post-funding plans she might have.

Blogging about food

Apeksha hails from Meerut and spent her early years between home and her boarding school in Mussoorie. It was during a summer break while studying economics at Lady Shri Ram College, New Delhi that she began learning French, a language she loved so much she decided to make a career out of it.

It was in 2009 when she was in Paris while her husband did his MBA there that Apeksha had a lot of free time and access to the most amazing ingredients. “I was naturally spending a lot of time cooking and experimenting, and that was the time when blogging was the new thing to do. So I jumped on that bandwagon, and as time went on, I delved deeper into the food world,” she says.
Upon their return to India, Apeksha’s husband kept reminiscing about this banana jam he had eaten at a B&B in Burgundy.

By 2011, I knew I was a talented cook, and one day I just told myself that a banana jam couldn’t be so difficult to make, so I looked up the basics and made my very first batch. It came out amazing! He loved it, and hence I started experimenting with more flavours.

Gradually, Apeksha’s friends and family got to taste her preserves and their response too was encouraging. When it dawned upon her that the Indian jam market lacked fresh, artisanal-style preserves, she decided to address the gap.

The Gourmet Jar

Apeksha started with three products and over the years has added and deleted a few. In 2012 she started from home and sold her products through Facebook. It was only in June 2014 that she started selling extensively and the business moved out of her house.
The bestsellers are the banana rum jam, orange whisky marmalade, mango jalapeno preserve, and spicy onion relish. “The response from the beginning has been fantastic, and I think what our customers really love is our unique flavour combinations and the purity of our ingredients,” she says. Apeeksha adds new flavours every six months, while also phasing out the flavours that didn’t get a good response. Last year she added a range of mustards and relishes as well.
They have a 4,000-sqft production unit in Noida, where there are 12 women involved in all the processes. “Yes, we have an all-women production team,” she says.
Over the past couple of years, they have sold more than three lakh jars through three sales channels — through their website, through their distributor to retail stores, and institutional packaging to hotels and restaurants.

Nailing the recipe

Recipe books did come to her aid in the beginning, but Apeksha now operates on instinct. “It took a lot of practice to master the techniques and there have been batches that went wrong or flavours that just didn’t work together. Eventually, experience helped me master the recipes and techniques.”
When coming up with a recipe, she first starts with the core fruit, conceptualises the kind of end product she wants (jam, relish, chutney, or savoury spread) and then does trials with different flavour combinations. She says, “The first one to try all of these is my husband! I then send samples to friends, family, and regular customers, and use their feedback to zero in on the best one. The recipes I use are most definitely my own creation.”

Changing landscape

Exposure through television and availability of different kinds of produce has changed people’s food habits and tastes over the years. Apeksha says, “People are travelling a lot more, hence they are exposed to new flavours. There’s also an increased focus on cooking new things at home, thanks to shows like Master Chef and the increasing access to exotic ingredients in India. There’s also a huge shift towards organic and natural food as the awareness about the harmful effect of artificial ingredients is increasing.”
The jams and preserve market, according to Apeksha, is worth over Rs 300 crore, The Gourmet Jar has immense potential as they are not just an FMCG brand for retail counters but also part of the gifting market. “And we’ve also created the category of relishes in India.”
The Gourmet Jar competes with international brands like Bonne Maman, Dana, and Hartley’s, and Bhuira Jams on the domestic front.

Fund raising

Apeksha raised an undisclosed amount from Chandigarh Angels Network (CAN) last year and is using it towards upgrading the production facility, building a team, and increasing spend towards brand building.
Asked about the challenges she faced while fundraising in the food sector and whether she went through anything on account of being a woman, she reveals, "The biggest challenge was in making people believe in the growth potential of the condiment market. It’s something that has not been given any attention till now, and the word ‘gourmet’ has not really been associated with it. I never felt that anyone questioned me because I was a woman. In fact, I feel people were keen to invest in my brand because they were happy to promote a woman entrepreneur."
The big win was to convince the investors, which she nailed through a blind tasting.

We did a blind taste test with a few Indian and imported brands, and the results made it very easy for them to believe in the brand.

Road ahead

This year, Apeksha plans to introduce a few sugar-free variants, more savoury condiments, and some interesting gift boxes. They have recently moved to a bigger production facility in order to increase the scale of operations.
While they do not have a brick and mortar store at the moment, we may see one in 2018. Their marketing has been mostly through social media and events and by word of mouth but going forward, there is going to be increased emphasis on digital marketing and some interesting collaborations with related brands.
“Supply chain management and logistics have been an ongoing challenge,” says Apeksha. One of the biggest obstacles she faces is that of perception management. “The Indian consumer thinks that if it’s imported, it’s better, but that is not the case. The way we overcome it is by doing a lot of sampling. The moment you taste our product, you realise the difference in the purity of taste and flavour.”

Create and innovate

One of the best compliments for Apeksha has been to see her husband quit his own job and join her full-time. “He’s always been a constant pillar of support but this made me feel like I’ve reached a major milestone, that I’ve created something from scratch and brought it so far.”
The desire to innovate keeps her on her toes, along with the instant gratification on people’s faces when they sample her products. There is nothing stopping her from doing what she loves. No wonder then that her motto for the year goes:

Kunku raju investment discussion

5 acre land with lemon + sandal wood => 30 lakh
5 floor , 4 house in each floor apartment => 6 crore
6 shops (3shps at ground floor + 3 shops at 1st floor) in developed area => 50 lakh

Business should should established, process
later send it manager, who will manage , yield, transparent wont change
so that you can work on any other business

No PG, andhra mess, no kirana shop
Ok for super market

Paying Guest shares based on beds

To run PG business approximately we need around 15 lakh
Sample pg:
70 bed capacity
12 lakh advance
1.83 lakh rent

Its difficult to start such business due high investment, high recurring cost for any beginner.

How about start pg business, sell PG shares.
1 bed -> 1 share
1 share cost => 15 lakh/70 => 21,500 rs (round off 3places)

note: i did not added cook expense + water bill + electric bill + internet bill + repair + food raw material + cleaning labour cost + cook + cook helper cost + repairs.

If you see only advance distribution
1 bed -> 1 share advance
1 bed advance investment share -> 12 lakh /70 => 17150 rs (round off 2 places)

1f you see rent expense share
1 bed -> 1.83/70 =>  2620 rs(round off to 1 place)

The world is better off collaborating

The Dalai Lama making a point.

The attendees of the inauguration of the South Asian hub of the Massachusetts-based Dalai Lama Center were a mix of government officials, Buddhist monks, and those associated with technology incubation centre T-Hub. The world is moving at breakneck speed towards closing boundaries and doors, but the Dalai Lama made sure to let his audience know that only oneness and smiles can lead to progress.

The event was presided over by Governor ESL Narasimhan; Deputy CM Mohammed Mahmood Ali; IT, PR, and MAUD Minister KT Rama Rao; CEO of Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values, Tenzin Priyadarshi; and Chief Secretary SP Singh.
The collaboration with T-Hub is to ensure that young entrepreneurs join the movement of change and growth. Tenzin Priyadarshi mentioned that along with businesses, it is important that technology takes a shift towards ethics and transformative values.
“Instead of building a wall, America should make Mexico and Mexicans a part of America,” said the Dalai Lama. He went on to add,

“We are a family of seven billion people. The problem starts arising when we start isolating one from the other. It is important that we feel the universal oneness and compassion, which is natural to human beings, towards one another.”

Here are some takeaways from the talk that Indian startups can use:

1. Build things out of love that truly help everyone

“I was a very lazy student. I didn’t have the patience to read, but today I read a lot. Whether it is scriptures or journals, I read as much as I can, and one thing that gives me hope and faith in mankind and human beings is the fact that science believes human beings are driven by love and compassion and not anger,” said the Dalai Lama.
In today’s cut-throat world where we are driven by valuations, funding, and downsizing competition, it is time to pause and understand the reason for actually starting up. In the busy schedules of life and chasing funding and valuation, the purpose behind starting up is lost.

2. Inclusion and collaboration is the key

At a time when the blue-eyed boys are crying themselves hoarse about a level playing field and capital dumping, this teaching of the Dalai Lama’s is particularly significant. The world, he believes, is better off collaborating. While there might have been a Brexit, the European Union has nevertheless given Europe a lot of trade and development.
In the same vein, it is time that similar startups started collaborating. This thought was echoed at a shared economy panel at Bengaluru’s The Hive, where one of the questions asked was, “Why can’t startups collaborate and make rules easier for themselves and by and large help consumers?”

3. Bring in diversity

“My father was very short-tempered but my mother was very compassionate. I think mothers and women have more compassion and power than we even realise,” said the Dalai Lama. He added that if there were more women as leaders, the world would be a different place. The 2015 Global Gender Gap Report is one example of how there truly is a need for more women to turn entrepreneurs.

Believe in God, Believe in your family(wife, kids, parents, relatives, friends) for the sake of allah

Family will be strong only on trust.
If you dont trust on small things. How can it can tolerate big storm in life.
Even forgive small things.
If they shout you, scold on anger, let them aware of itwhen they calm down.

Even you dont blame them.
Dont expect more from your family.
Dont put more burden on your family member

Be helpful nature to family(wife, kids, mother, brother in laws, mother in laws...)

Before spending money, discuss with your family.
If they are not ready to discuss, lets wait for some time.

But dont  step back on spending money for your parents, poor people, jakat, hajj, paying loans, helping needy people.

Dont say no to work even on last minute Inshallah

I was leaving for bus.
Before 1 hour, my wife ask me to buy milk bottle nipples for our daughter.
I said why don't u tell me in the after noon.
As i went to purchase some other baby items.

She said She forget it.

Does allah ever say to any one.

What is Poorest district in india?

SHORTLISTED DISTRICTS
State	Districts	Poverty-environment link based on above indicators
Jharkhand	Palamu	Deforestation, soil degradation: district level earning has gone down by 50 per cent due to it in the last seven years. Has resulted into health problems like malaria.
MP	Mandla	Deforestation and less MFPs: severe food insecurity makes this district as the one of the worst as far as women health is concerned.
Chattisgarh	Sarguja	Collapse of the tribal economy based on land and forest: land alienation and resulting poverty.
Maharashtra	Dhule	Water scarcity and loss of soil fertility: Severe impact on agriculture and health. Last year 300-400 children died due to malnutrition.
Orissa	Phulbani Rayagada	Collapse of hills ecology: deforestation, soil erosion and water scarcity. Rayagada is considered as India’s most food insecure district despite rich forest, land and water resources (and of course all of these are fast degrading) and a decade of World Food Programme’s intervention.
Rajasthan	Banswara Dungarpur	Total ecological degradation (forest, water, land): Considered as Rajasthan’s 20th century desert. A 100 per cent tribal district and rich with fertile land but fluoride mines not only spoil land but also contaminate the ground water. The whole district is crippled with fluorosis and is now the poorest.
UP	Banda	UP’s poorest district and is due to land related problems.
AP	Ananthpur	The second driest district in India and India’s largest concentration of groundnut cultivation in one district. Off late groundnut farmers have been committing suicide.
Bihar	Champaran	From here Gandhiji started a major movement for rural development but now it is one of the three poorest districts: loss of commons, land alienation and floods.

inshallah Ikbhal please read this http://understandquran.com/why-you-must-understand-surah-al-fatiha-by-marie-matney.html

I feel that learning Quran is too (Spend 15 to hour) minutes to learn a word or ayath, teach kids

http://understandquran.com
by Amani Iqbal
The following is an encouragement for those who may feel that learning the Qur’an is too difficult or will not bring great rewards.
The Importance of Qur’anic Learning
As a child growing up in Dubai, the Arabic language was a part of my school curriculum. However, as we all know, the Arabic in the Quran is far more eloquent than the everyday Arabic that is spoken and written. As such, I never quite knew how to link the language I learned to the Quran I read on a daily basis.
As the years passed, I would read the Quran regularly along with the translation but it would never truly penetrate and I would sooner or later forget the meaning of what I had read.
The Prophet (may peace be upon him) once said, “The most superior among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Quran and teach it.” (Sahih Bukhari)
You may wonder, “How can this apply to my life if I am not a scholar of Deen?”
Baby Steps
In 2010 I attended an Understanding Quran one-day course in Colombo. Subhanallah, that one-day course became the catalyst for my religious learning. Within a week I’d completed the rest of the course through self-study at home and could not believe that in just one week I had learnt the entire meaning of my Salah! Reading Salah took on a whole new meaning and made me reflect, understand and actually practice what I was reading in Salah.
If I could learn the meaning of Salah in a week, then surely I could apply the same techniques to learning the rest of Quran. This desire to learn grew in my heart and to this day I try to learn at least one word or ayah of the Quran on a daily basis.
Once you learn a few surahs, it will definitely boost your confidence and encourage you to do more.  It is just as easy as learning any other language. Moreover, it is a great source of ajr and a means of success not only in this life but in the aakhira as well!
Passing it on
When can you start teaching what you have learned? And to whom should we teach it?
The answer to the first question is— today! Regardless of how much Islamic knowledge you have gained, each word or verse or hadith that you teach someone can bring you ajr until the end of time! You will never know the impact that your one word of Quran had on another person– that’s between them and Allah – but the reward will be yours as well.
Who can you teach? I have pondered over this question many times and it was when my child was born that the answer to this question dawned on me. Many of us may feel shy to approach strangers or even friends to pass on Islamic knowledge. If “charity begins at home” then so does education and the spreading of Islamic knowledge.
To summarise:

1. Recognise the importance of learning and teaching the Qur’an.
2. Begin studying. Try spending just fifteen minutes to half an hour a day to learn and understand even one ayah of Quran. Gain confidence!
3. As soon as you start learning, pass the knowledge on. Begin with your own children if you have them, and move on to parents, other family members, friends, and then non-Muslims.

Take time to recognise the great blessings that enter your life when you study and teach the Qur’an.

How to Battle Difficulties with Patience, Perseverance, Prayer and Fear of God (A Quranic Perspective)

http://understandquran.com/battling-difficulties-with-patience-and-perseverance-a-quranic-perspective.html

Insha allah

by Towheed Fatma
We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and fruits of your toil. But give good news to the steadfast: Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, “We belong to Allah and to Him we will return”. Those are the people who will have blessings and mercy from their Lord; they are the ones who are guided.  ~Chapter 2, Verse 155-157
Problems are Universal— and Help is Always Near
Every single person in this world is facing some sort of trial or test. There may be some facing trials in education, others in their jobs, still others in their businesses, and still more facing problems with family or friends. But Allah (swt) says:
Oh you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer, for God is with those who patiently persevere.                  ~Chapter 2, Verse 153
For those who exercise patience, Allah (swt) will help and show a way out of every difficulty.
And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,
 And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.                                                                 ~Chapter 65, Verse 2-3
Allah (swt) in various places in the Holy Quran links patience and perseverance to success.
Seek Allah’s help with patient perseverance and prayer. It is indeed hard except for those who are humble.                            ~Chapter 2, Verse 45
The Ingredients of Success
If we want to be successful in this world and the hereafter we have to be patient. Allah (swt) clearly sets out the ingredients for success: perseverance, prayer, steadfastness, and the fear of Allah. If one does these things one is going to act according to the laws of Allah (swt). One will also accept and say that whatever happens is by the will of Allah (swt). Allah (swt) says:
It may be that you hate something when it is good for you and it may be that you love something when it is bad for you. Allah (swt) knows and you know not.
~Chapter 2, Verse 216
As Muslims we must remember that Allah (swt) says:
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.     ~Chapter 94, Verse 5-6
The Promise
And for Allah (swt) to say this once is enough. But Allah (swt) says it twice, one after the other. This is how much Allah (swt) is kind towards us. He says ‘O my slaves be patient. Be patient, because with any trial that you are going to face there will be ease. He tells us that for sure we all will be tested. We all will go through trials and tribulations but nevertheless we will be relieved.
Our burden, our trouble, our difficulty will be removed. How? Through prayers, through patience, through complete faith in Allah (swt).
And be steadfast in patience, for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish. ~Chapter 11, Verse 115
Dealing with Crises
So many times in our lives something happens to us and we feel that this is the worst thing that can happen to us. But then after the trial we realize that this is the best thing that could have happened to us. So we have to be patient and know that Allah (swt) is sufficient for us and is the best disposer of all our affairs. He will guide us to that which is good.
We must not say I believe and then think Allah is not going to test us. Allah (swt) says in the Quran:
Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: “We believe,” and will not be tested? And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allah knows all that before putting them to test).   ~Chapter 29, Verse 2-3
With Every Trial, a Solution
So whatever trials we are going through, we should know that we have already been told about this by Allah (swt) in the Quran. But we are not left alone with all the trials and difficulties. Allah (swt) gives us the way out.
“Patiently, then, persevere – for the Promise of Allah is true, and ask forgiveness for your faults, and celebrate the praises of your Lord in the evening and in the morning.”                                                                           ~Chapter 40, Verse 55
 No one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restraint, none but persons of the greatest good fortune. ~Chapter 41, Verse 35
We should always remember that our wealth— our family, our children, our wives and our status— is a test from Allah (swt).  Allah (swt) says
Your wealth and your children are only a trial (fitnah). And Allah – With Him is a great reward (Paradise).                                                 ~Chapter 64, Verse 15
All Tests from Allah
Everything that we have in this world is a test from Allah (swt). A person is going to continue to be tested throughout his lifetime only to wash off his sins so that on the day of resurrection Allah (swt) puts him in jannah.
Whatever test we are going through in this world, we should remember that it is from Allah (swt) and that these test bring us closer and closer to Jannah, provided we deal with them with patience and perseverance.
The Reward of Patience
There is a beautiful story about patience in the Holy Quran of Prophet Yusuf A.S.
His brothers threw him into the well, but he was patient and so Allah (swt) raised him out of that well. He ended up in the house of one of the most powerful people of Egypt, but then Allah (swt) tested him again.
The wife of Al Aziz, the finance minister, tried to tempt him, but he was patient. Then Allah (swt) tested him again and threw him into prison. But he was patient for the sake of Allah (swt). And in the end Allah (swt) raised him to a lofty station and he became one of the most powerful people in Egypt. This is the reward of patience.
May Allah (swt) provide each one of us with this beautiful quality— patience
