The Principles That Guide Taqvia
At Taqvia, we believe business is not value-neutral. Every transaction, decision, and relationship carries ethical weight.
1. Business as a Trust
Business is not merely ownership or control — it is a trust. Authority, resources, and opportunity are entrusted temporarily and must be exercised responsibly.
Read reflection2. Profit with Responsibility
Profit is permissible, but never detached from accountability. Returns must arise from value creation, not guaranteed extraction or exploitation.
Read reflection3. Dignity of Work & Livelihood
Work is a source of dignity. Every lawful form of honest effort deserves respect, regardless of status or visibility.
Read reflection4. Justice (ʿAdl) in Dealings
Justice is foundational in business. Fairness must guide wages, contracts, pricing, and power relationships.
Read reflection5. Trust (Amānah) in Leadership
Leadership is stewardship, not entitlement. Authority carries moral responsibility toward those affected by decisions.
Read reflection6. Honesty & Transparency (Ṣidq)
Honesty is proactive, not reactive. Transparency preserves dignity and enables informed decision-making.
Read reflection7. Intention (Niyyah) in Action
Outcomes matter, but intention gives actions moral direction and consistency — especially under pressure.
Read reflection8. Wealth as Stewardship
Wealth is responsibility, not entitlement. Resources must circulate and serve broader social good.
Read reflection9. Social Responsibility Beyond Compliance
Legal compliance is the floor, not the ceiling. Ethical business considers long-term human and societal impact.
Read reflection10. Ethical Leadership
Leadership is measured by restraint, accountability, and service — not authority or dominance.
Read reflectionA Continuing Commitment
These principles are not presented as ideals perfected by us. They are reminders — first to ourselves — of how business can be practiced with conscience, humility, and responsibility.
If they challenge you, reflect on them.
If they resonate, apply them.
If they invite dialogue, engage with them.
