Inspirational quotes for the Muslim entrepreneur

“Allah says that rizq, sustenance, and money will come, and even more of it will come, IF your concern is not only for yourself. Your concern also has to be about others. Islam isn’t against having wealth. Islam is against wealth that serves and benefits only you.” - Nouman Ali Khan

“I have some advice for the young generation who are wanting to become successful in life: become more grateful. Once you do that, Allah says, "If you are grateful, I will surely increase you (in everything)." If you're having a hard time in math, science, language and whatever else, become grateful to Allah and He will open doors for you. You'll even get better at basketball and become more athletic. I pray that Allah makes you grateful young people who are examples for others all over the world, ameen.” - Nouman Ali Khan

"You know what the Quran teaches me? The Quran teaches me that an incredibly wealthy man can be a failure (Firaun) and a homeless man can be successful (Prophet Ibrahim). It teaches me that success has nothing to do with wealth and failure has nothing to do with poverty." - Nouman Ali Khan
 
A quick and easy way to check to see if you have a pure heart is seeing how readily willing you are to give a compliment to others. If your first instinct when you see something nice or hear about the success of someone you feel constricted then know you have jealousy in your heart. If you genuinely feel happy for the other person and you feel secure with yourself it will be very easy to happily give a compliment. If you see traces of jealousy in your heart, train yourself to be content by realizing that everything is portioned with great wisdom. No one is going to take anything away from you that was meant for you. Realize the wisdom in the distribution of wealth, knowledge, beauty, and success. This will ease your heart, prevent you from eating yourself up and allow you to enjoy the beauty & success of others while feeling secure within. - Halel Banani
 
When there is money in your hand and not in your heart, it will not harm you even if it is a lot; and when it is in your heart, it will harm you even if there is none in your hands. - Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah
 
When Allah blesses you financially, don't raise your standard of living, rather raise your standard of giving.

"Don't be afraid of jumping in and trying something. Stop being afraid of failure. Failure is good for you. Failure exposes the holes and what you need to work on. Until you put yourself to work, you're not going to discover who you are." - Nouman Ali Khan

"Every single success you experience is a combination of two things: your effort and Allah's help." - Nouman Ali Khan

The Prophet :saws: said “When a Muslim spends something on his family intending to receive Allah's reward it is regarded as sadaqa for him” (Bukhari)
