Talks about "business ethics" in most businesses seem contradictory paradigms of thought interminis (contradictory in itself) or oxymoron; where there may be a clean business, not every person who dared to enter the business means he must have the courage (at least) "dirty-handed ".

Moreover, there is one view that the issue of business ethics often arise regarding the living death of a particular business, that if the "ethical" business then threatened bankruptcy.

About some of the non-normative society materialistic and hedonistic, this view is apparently not a secret anymore because in many cases there is an inherent connotation that the business world with various scopes filled with practices that are inconsistent with ethics itself.

So strong that oxymoron, the term business ethics or ethics in business. Around the early 1960s, the term in the United States became controversial material. People may disagree about the moral condition of a particular business environment over time. But this controversy seems to open it develops into a productive direction, but even more lead into the atmosphere of sophist.

Discourse about moral values ​​(religious) played a part in certain social and economic life of society, has been widely rolled out in the economic community since entering the modern age, say for example, Max Weber in his famous, The Religion Ethic and the Spirit Capitaism, researching about how the Protestant values ​​has been the driving force for the growth of world capitalism in western Europe and then America. Although in Asia (especially China) in fact the opposite occurs as Weber wrote in his The Religion Of China : Confucianism and Taoism, Weber said that the ethics of Confucius is one of the factors that inhibit the growth of national capitalism which grows in China or the more interesting perhaps is the Studies Wang Gung Wu, in his book China and the Chinese Overseas, which is the best revision for the final thesis weber.
On the other hand in a certain practical level, empirical studies of business ethics (business) it will bring many benefits: who can be a driving factor for economic growth, put this in Islamic societies, but empirical studies are not at all no problem, sometimes , because of ethics in science is taking a neutral position (opposite the footing positivistic methodology), then the findings of the studies that seem immune to neutral ethical judgments.

Interesting to highlight is how the concept of Islam and is there to offer business ethics for the driver of the rise of the economy.

The basic philosophy that became important to note that Islamic business is, in every motion step of human life is the concept of human relationships with humans, environment and human beings with God (Hablum minallah and hablum minannas). In other words business in the eyes of Islam is not merely a manifestation of human relationships that are pragmatic, but further afield is the total manifestation of worship to the Creator.

Islam About Business Ethics
 
In relation to the Islamic paradigm of business ethics, the philosophical foundation must be built in Muslim personal relationship is the presence konseps man to man and environment, and human relationships with God, which in the language of religion is known by the term (hablum minallah wa hablumminannas).
By adhering to this foundation then any Muslim who do business or any activity there will feel the presence of "third party" (God) in every aspect of his life. This belief must be an integral part of every Muslim in the business.

This is because business in the Islamic world is not only eye orientation but must have a clear vision of the afterlife. With a frame of mind like that then issue in business ethics a key highlight in an Islamic economy.
In Islamic economics, business and ethics should not be viewed as two things are contradictory, because, a business which is a symbol of worldly affairs is also regarded as an integral part of the things that are investment hereafter. That is, if the orientation of businesses and investment efforts Hereafter (intended as a totality of worship and obedience to God), then the business itself must be in line with moral rules based on belief in the afterlife.

Even in Islam, understanding the business itself is not constrained world affairs, but also includes all of our activities in the world that "in my business" (intended as worship) for profit or reward hereafter. Stetemen is expressly called in one verse of the Qur'an.

O People of faith, I show you sukakah on a commercial (business) that can save you from painful adzab? namely faith in god & His Messenger and strive in the way of God with the soul and treasure, that's better for you if you know

In most of our society, there is often a mistaken interpretation of the text of the Koran, the Islamic values ​​of this fleeting worldly affairs as if subjected to the afterlife thus encouraging the Muslim community to ignore the quota-oriented world and the hereafter, the view is of course wrong.

In the Islamic concept, in fact God has guaranteed that the people who work hard for his world with a fixed ration heed the rules of the Hereafter for worldly gain victory, then he is listed as a servant of God by having a high balance. This statement had been a serious study of one of the leaders of Islam such as Ibn Arabi, said in a statement.

"And if they really run the (law) the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur'an are applied to them from their Lord, they will get their meaning from the top (the Hereafter), and from under their feet (the world)."
Ibn Arabi's logic, at least get a good reinforcement of the hadith and the world economy, as the Prophet SAW said:
Anyone who wants the world, then he should be knowledgeable, and whoever wants then he should hereafter knowledgeable, and anyone who wants them then she should be knowledgeable. "

The Prophet's statement to isarat it and inform that besides the ethical issues become the foundation of success in business there are also other factors are no less important, namely the skill and knowledge of ethics itself.

Failed to learn the knowledge of ethics and proper business procedures in Islam it will fail to obtain the goal. If science is built to get kebehagiaan hereafter also be based on ethics, the science itself must be built for the world was based ethics. Science and ethics held by anyone in any activity (including business) then he will gain happiness in this world and the hereafter as well.

From the standpoint of Japan's case at least the business world has proven this belief, that the motivation of economic behavior that has a greater purpose and high (fidelity to the norms and ethics of good value) rather than purely business, it has been able to surpass the achievement of the Western economies (like America) is almost entirely based on self-interest and materialism as well as denying aspects of spiritualism. If this empirical fact is debatable in its interpretation, we can obtain other evidence of economic logic in the country of China, in a study conducted observers of Islam, that not all the overseas Chinese entrepreneurs have a personal relationship with a potentially corrupt government officials, in fact this instead encourage them to work even harder to run the business professionally and ethically, because nobody could be expected except by it, that's why probably why big companies that previously did not have any special skills, management now has the strength and the prospect of a more resilient with a basic commitment to ethical roots had built.

Thus, a comparative illustration of the moral principles of Islam which is based on a belief in the afterlife, which is expected to encourage positive behavior in the world, consider this as a principle or a moral philosophy of Islam which is eschatological, then a further question whether there is a moral philosophy of Islam which is expected to prevent fraudulent behavior of Muslims, obviously there, the Qur'an, as Adam Smith's free market economic system linking with the "laws of nature on a harmonious cosmic order".
Linking cheating reduces the damage scales with cosmic order, His Word: "We have created the heavens and the earth in the balance, then do not reduce the scales earlier." So for fraudulent Koran in terms of weight alone is considered the same as destroying the balance of cosmic order , Especially with mendzhalimi or kill another person depriving humanity of others in the economic sector)Word of God: "Do not kill the soul, whoever kills one soul is as if he killed all mankind (humanity)"

Again consider this as a moral philosophy of Islam which is based on two types of cosmic order of nature.
Perhaps the natural law or cosmic order was impressed metaphysical, some that are debatable, but not the logic of economics on the theory actually implies keseimbanganpun will niscayanya a "balance" (whatever form it takes for this life), often there is an assumption that if just to cheat the market not helped destroy the balance of nature, because it's considered trivial, but if it has been generally accepted and commonplace everywhere and over time turned into a kind of norm as well, then obviously kelumrahan person's behavior will destroy nature, especially if the people involved are who have a role very broad responsibilities regarding the fate of many lives and also the whole of nature.

Finally, I want to say that in this life of every human being is often experienced tension or ethical dilemma between the need to choose an ethical decision and narrow business decisions solely in accordance with the scope and role responsibilities, but if we believe the word of the Prophet SAW, or economic logic above, then believe me, if we choose an ethical decision then in essence we are reaching the business.

Allaah 'knows best.
