Islamic Business Ethics and Its Impact on Accounting, Tax, and Finance

Athar Murtuza

Chapter 3 in Accounting, Finance, and Taxation in the Gulf Countries, 2008, pp 49-71 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter seeks to briefly survey the business ethics enjoined by Islam on its followers. Given nearly 1.5 billion followers of Islam, Muslims, around the world and their history, which dates back to the birth of Islam, this chapter has space only to discuss some aspects of Islam’s history and the behavior of Muslims. In recent years Islamic banking has been making news. In order to introduce readers to Islamic business ethics and how they impact Muslims’ behavior, let us begin with an update on Islamic banking. This chapter then discusses other aspects of Islamic business ethics and its impact on accounting, tax, and finance.
