Abstract

This study aimed to identify the religious and ethical characteristics of entrepreneurs from the perspective of Islam. Entrepreneurship means creating a business with all the risks in the hope of success. Entrepreneurship is important because it can improve living standards and create wealth for entrepreneurs and related businesses. The method of conducting the research is that the verses of the Holy Qur’an and the hadiths of the Prophet were collected first, based on the objectives of the research and its questions. The similarities and differences were classified, and the concepts were identified and classified. The main results of the study showed that belief in God and belief in the hereafter are among the most important religious characteristics of merchants from the perspective of Islam. This feature makes a person trust God, accept the dangers of God's hope, and not be disappointed by the possibility of failure, and belief in life after death creates a divine intention for others. Based on the results of the research, the most important personality traits of entrepreneurs are hard work, commitment, honesty, specialized knowledge, opportunism, insight, and time management.
