For social events, business in many ways intertwined with the complexities of modern society. all told told the factors that make up the complexities of modern business has been frequently studied and examine through a scientific approach, especially in economics and coun dole outing theory (K.Berdecades 2000).In the myth of modern business business mountain are required to be professional people in his field.

(Http//uika-bogor. ac. d/doc/public/etika% 20bisnis% 20islam. pdf)If we trace the history, the faith of Islam seems a favorable view of affair and economic activity. Prophet Muhammad was a merchant, and the religion of Islam spread primarily through the Muslim traders. In the Quran on that point is a warning against the misuse of wealth, but non prohibited from seek wealth by lawful means (QS 2 275) Allah has made trade and prohibits usury. Islam puts barter activity in a very strategic prepare in the center of human activity seek sustenance and livelihood.This empennageister be seen in the words of the Prophet Muhammad Pay tending by all your trade, real commercial world it is nine out of ten the door of sustenance. Dawam Rahardjo precisely suspect Weber thesis on ethics of Protestantism, which cites business activities as a human responsibility to graven image quoting from Moslem teachings. The following business activities that are prohibited in sharia 1. Avoiding business transaction that is prohibit in Islam. A Muslim must be committed to interact with things that are made lawful by Allah SWT.A Muslim businessman should non be doing business in the things forbidden by sharia. And a Muslim businessman claimed to always do the faithful business and society. Business, food is not halal or kosher not contain ingredients , liquor, drugs, prostitution or all of which relate to the world of effervescent like night clubs discotic cafe where mixing of men and women accompanied by a stomping songs, treats and drinks and the food is not kosher Other (QS Al-Araf 32. QS Al Maidah 100) is a business activity that is forbidden. 2. Avoiding how to obtain and use property is not kosher.The practice of usury is miserable to be avoided, Islam prohibits usury with severe threats (QS Al-Baqara, 275-279), while forged transactions are very closely related to the business that is not transparent such as gambling, fraud, violated the trust so it will most likely harm. Hoarding of money to turn off the economic consumption to be enjoyed by others and the narrow space of business and economic activity is a disgraceful act and being rewarded to the most severe (Sura At-Tauba 34-35). scanty and a waste of money for purposes that are not useful and drive out all the excesses.All properties are prohibited because it is a trait that is not wise in the use of property and contrary to the commandment of God (Surah Al Araf 31). 3. Unfair competition is denounced by God as mentioned in the Quran surat Al-Baqarah 188 Do not you eat most of the treasure of you in a falsehood. Monopoly also includes unfair competition Prophet denounced the act was Whoever is doing consequently he is guilty of monopoly, A wholesaler was given sustenance by God as for someone who did that accursed monopoly. Monopoly done to gain merchandise control by preventing the other players to compete in various ways, much in ways that are not laudable goal is to memahalkan bell for these entrepreneurs have a huge advantage. Prophet said Someone who deliberately do something to memahalkan price, Allah will promise to the throne made from the Fire afterward in the day of Judgement. 4. Forgery and fraud, Islam strictly prohibits falsifying and deceptive because it can cause harm, injustice, and can lead to hostility and strife .Allah says in Surah Al-Isra 35 And entire measure when ye measure, and weigh with a right balance. The Prophet said If you sell it you shall not deceive people with sweet words. In the modern business at least we see in ways not praiseworthily by some businessmen in its product offering, which is forbidden in Islam. In essence, the consumer contains a very broad sense, as expressed chairperson of the United States, John F. Kennedy, Consumers by definition include us all (By definition, all of us including the consumer). (Shidarta, 2000 2).Consumer Protection Act No. 8, 1999 Chapter I, article 1, military issue 2, the consumer defines as, Every person users of goods or services that are available in the community, both for the interests of self, family, others, as well as other creatures and not for trading. (Government of the Republic of Indonesia, 1999 5) Consumers in the economic laws of Islam are not limited to those SAJ war, but also includes a legal entity (al-syakhshiyy at al-manawawiyyah), such as barowments or foundations of received companies and institutions. Islamic economic laws there is no difference amidst the end user with a medium user. Muslim jurists did not distinguish between goods kondumsi property, goods production, and intermediary goods, as contained in the general economics. This brings the influences on consumer definitions that must be protected in Islam because in Islam, including consumer goods all users, whether the goods were use directly, so exhausted, used as a tool for intermediaries to further prosuksi justice belongs to everyone, whether he is domiciled as individuals, groups or the public.Advances in technology and the development of economy and perdangangan volume demanding especial(a) supervision of the risks that might arise from the use of certain products. Poor environmental conditions caused by business actors in general, should also get serious attention because every living being is a consumer of the enviro nment. Muhammad, 2004 180) In Islam there are five things that must be kept kemaslahatannya become key design of sharia (al-necessities al-repertoire), the religion (al-din), reason (al-aql), descent (an-NASL), and property ( al-mal), while some Islamic jurists there is also adding to the al-ardh (honor), but according to honor the actor is already covered in the custody of al nafs (soul).When associated with the risk caused by defective products or irresponsibility of a product, the main objectives of the fifth yag more focused on guarding the soul, mind and wealth. Muhammad, 2004 181) However, if the risk of such usage caused by negligence of producers, then this should be linked also with the theory of financial obligation contained in this kejahatab jinayah in Islamic Jurisprudence. In theory the responsibility of Islamic Jurisprudence crime, crimes and violations that occur on human rights can not be invalidated by reason of mistake, not intentional acts. Therefore, the per petrators of these acts must adopt the loss of property or life with fines that have been determined shariah.
