Inspired by the Traditions of Islamic Commerce
The foundation of the USMCC is deeply inspired by Islamic commerce and the business ethics practiced in Medina during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islamic business principles emphasize:
🔹 Fair Trade & Honesty – Conducting business with integrity and justice.
🔹 Ethical Profit & Social Responsibility – Prioritizing community well-being over greed.
🔹 Collaboration & Economic Empowerment – Supporting one another in business for collective success.
Following these values, USMCC serves as a modern platform for ethical commerce, uniting businesses across industries while staying true to Islamic teachings.
