Story — English
Sent to the people of Midian who cheated in weights and measures and robbed on the highways. He called them specifically to business ethics — give full measure, do not defraud. His people mocked him: ‘Your prayer commands you that we should leave what our fathers worshipped or that we stop doing with our wealth what we want?’ They threatened to stone him. He was rescued when the punishment of the earthquake took them. His daughter later became the wife of Musa.
کہانی — اردو
مدین کے لوگوں کی طرف بھیجے گئے جو ناپ تول میں کمی کرتے اور راستوں میں ڈکیتی کرتے تھے۔ کاروباری اخلاق کی دعوت دی۔ سنگسار کرنے کی دھمکی دی۔ زلزلے نے انہیں ہلاک کیا۔ ان کی بیٹی بعد میں موسیٰ کی بیوی بنیں۔
Lessons from the Quran
- Business ethics are a core part of Islam — not separate from religion
