The Employer's Duty in Islam

The Ethics of Employment in the Quran and Sunnah

A Trust and a Responsibility

"As a Muslim employer, your responsibility is not only to provide opportunity, but to uphold justice, dignity, and fairness in every interaction with your worker."

Qur'anic Guidance

"Give full measure and weight in justice. Do not deprive people of their due..."

— Surah Al-A'raf (7:85)

"Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice."

— Surah An-Nisa (4:58)

Prophetic Hadiths

"Give the worker his wages before his sweat dries."

— Sunan Ibn Majah 2443 (Hasan)

"Your workers are your brothers. Allah has placed them under your authority. So whoever has a brother under his authority, let him feed him from what he eats, clothe him from what he wears, and not burden him beyond his ability."

— Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim

Fair pay is not just business ethics - it is a command of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.
