    For example, the majority of the prophets and apostles were the ones who went on to become entrepreneurs. Prophet Muhammad even be a successful trader. The companions of the prophet is also the majority of entrepreneurs. Example is Abdurrahman bin Auf, Muslim merchants was super cool. Ever heard the story, right?

 

    When moved to Medina, Abdurrahman brothers by a native Muslim Medina, Sa'ad bin Ar Rabi. Well, apparently this is a noble Sa'ad Medina is quite rich, and had two beautiful wife. Generous nature soon arise when Abdurrahman bin Auf see that when it lacks nothing, no possessions and wife. Then, Sa'ad also offer "Take half of my possessions. Besides that, I also had two wives. Choose one, though later I divorce and can you marry after the prescribed period."

    But, since this Abdurrahman a very independent person and have a strong entrepreneurial vision, the answer is not more as follows: "May Allah blessed you, your family, and your price. better show me the way to the market."

    When he got in the market, Abdurrahman start trading with a bag of wheat. He got a profit from it. Once he diligently carries on business so not long later, he has become one of the richest merchant in the Medina.

Not just any Independent

And, you will not have any benefit to the environment before you have the benefits for yourself. Believe it or not, in fact just about anyone to bear one of two predicates: a solution or a problem? "If someone is not a part of the solution, then he is part of the problem." An entrepreneur is a person whose whereabouts could be a solution.
