Contrast in ethics, morality, justice, and behavior: Some reflections on business and islamic ethics

Abstract

The ethical dilemma begins due to greed, jealousy, and discontentment, and these have solutions in life. This chapter aims to analyze and apply the understanding of dichotomy of contrast in ethics, morality, justice, and behavior. Since ethics matters a lot in discharging corporate social responsibility in business and trade, the chapter will also examine the application of these ethics, morality, and behaviour from an Islamic perspective. The authors derive that "one must strengthen contentment, remembrance of death, the firm belief in Allah's mercy, generosity" while refraining from common contemporary business problems such as window dressing of financial results, fraud, deception, bribery to get contracts, and among others.
