spirituality and business in Islam

SPIRITUALITY AND BUSINESS
   
             Spirituality according mahardika community is a set of processes that transcendence of human life spiritual character. And there is also a means that is all spiritual decree anything that is not visible, which in Islamic terms is called supernatural, including beings or existences unreal in the supernatural world, such as gods, angels, demons or devils, and demons, as well as aspects and dimensions of the human psyche, like mind, heart, soul, passion and more.

            The business is activity by individuals or organizations for the purpose of profit or gain. business word of English business, the basic word busy which means "busy" in the context of the individual or the community, or society. In a sense, busy activities and jobs that bring fat profit.

Spiritual thought (or thinking about spiritual) in Islam known as Sufism, or Islamic mysticism, Sufism atu. Al-Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet. A major source of spiritual understanding.

                 Islam, as in the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. Teaching the spiritual world. Even belief in mysteries is a core qualities of a pious believer, while faith is a personal quality in idealkan the teachings of Islam. Al-Quran and Hadith also often associate this with the reality of spiritual devotion, such devotion to Allah. Spiritual reorientation mentioned above is a laid back spiritual references to Allah, the first one should have a better perspective of the spiritual world in him. memedai further with understanding the spiritual world, a person is expected to behave properly and be able to respond wisely socio-economic problems in the face. Policy in behavior and attitude is certainly very necessary for the future of the nation pebanguna. Although Islam teaches the spiritual world as a spouse or duna real material world, but few have an adequate perspective as expected.

              It is appropriate the business, let alone a Muslim businessman, applying spiritual management culture, which puts the values ​​of universality in achieving business goals. Spirit worship to God to be a very solid foundation. Because, every activity that always benefit is linked to the Creator (Creator). That is why working order awakened become more sacred than mere financial gain only. The power that is the driving turbine fighting spirit of its adherents (man). Because, every step of the struggle to make life history. To be sure, the cornerstone of worship in the land struggle in business and should lead to the creation of a fair division of wealth (creation) to all parties involved. That is, the crew (employees), customers (subscribers), capital providers (owners of capital), and the community (society). Consciously, the company is positioned as an organism that stands on grass roots and mission spirituality bears. Its presence not just to benefit the individuals alone. Moreover, the existence aims to elevate human dignity as a whole. The approach is not only purely pragmatic. Far from it, established paradigm is to build a civilization.

           There is a problem in the problem ekonoim the inability to solve problems of human needs, then the current era, therefore, more and more companies are relying on business activities or other aspects of spirituality [3] (a spiritual company). Inversely related to the company that ignores the spiritual factor in their operations, companies that bases its activities on spiritual values ​​proved able to survive and grow well.

In the middle of whipping the competition is so tight, get one inch of progress increasingly difficult to gain profit, plus the crush of subsistence curve is always rising, the temptation to get profit by merging the values ​​of humanity as mankind is stretched wide, and easy. It is precisely at this point that remains spiritual and ethical insert bandage as filters (filter) when doing business. It is time for businesses and business professionals are not only good at applying business practices, but also did not stutter when I have to build an intense encounter with the Creator. It's time to tie a red thread between business and spiritual soul. Realizing that the Creator sees, all actions deviated from the corridor and business ethics must be avoided.

             The spirit of professionalism in business without the offset will only bear spiritual aspect of human-human intelligent and skilled but neglects to spread the sides of humanity and kesprituilannya in the diving business. By connecting thread between doing business with the spiritual soul was expected businesses and business professionals believe that the diving business correctly is not just driven by a set of rules is set, but further business through the corridor right because it is a a higher form of worship to the Lord of Nature. So if the opportunity to deviate from the corridor is possible because there are weaknesses in the system, but because trusting diving right is a manifestation of the command of Allah, deviations in the messy business that is still happening in this country can be minimized.

             Economic activity in Islam can be changed from sheer material into worship activities that will be rewarded, if the activity that he expects the pleasure of Allah SWT. This is justified by the hadiths, that some companions of the Prophet knew a young man who rushed to do his job. A friend said, "if God is on the way." the Prophet said: "Do not say that, because when he came out for her into small pieces, then he is on the path of Allah. If he came out to their parents in their old age, he was in the way of Allah. And when he came to himself he was still in the way of Allah. But if he wants to be praised by people or pride, he was on the road Detan. '

Spirituality at the same time implies towards the integration (cohesion) and holism (wholeness). Also may be said, the opposite of spirituality is reductionism, parochialism, or sectarianism.

             Spiritual character of the business is important for businesses to be such reductionism just money or making money alone clearly will go unbalance and finally into crisis and then collapse. In this sense we better understand the famous statement E. F. Schumacher said that all the crisis stems from a spiritual crisis. Now we can see that the spiritual crisis means the breakdown of the processes of transcendence which then moves toward poverty, siltation, mono-dimensionalisme, and end up with crises So straightforward it can be said that spirituality strengthens life, while ignoring significant weakening of life, bringing the crisis and ends mortality.

Transcendence is generally done in the form of vertical and horizontal depth of reality that were examined by using the whole reason we were eventually manifest into concepts, theories or paradigms, and then change the practices of life.

              A simple example can be cited. In the Wisdom of the Electronic Elite explained that today happens to widespread understandings (transcendence) in the world of business as follows:

    That is the business ecosystem, not just the field of competition
    That the company is a community, not just a money machine.
    That management is a service, not control it.
    That the manager is the coach, not the foreman alone.
    That employees are peers, not maid.
    That motivation comes from vision, not wages.
    That change is growth, not suffering alone.

                  Interesting phenomenon that we have seen lately is the rampant passion with business executives to explore religious values. Places of worship filled with executives. Offices, whether local or multinational companies, opened a place for executives and employees to develop and discuss religion. In fact, not a few executives a religious activist who is now a trend back as Sufism (Islam), Charismatic (Christian). The rise of the trend re executives explore how religious rituals had to be understood as an expression of their desire to integrate ethical values, moral and spiritual into a business environment that tends to secular, dry, and materialistic.

Indeed, there is some thought that the executives and bureaucrats who study religion merely a mask, as evidenced by the still rampant corruption, manipulation and collusion in this country are not entirely ignored. Growth of places of worship that seems to align with the rapid growth of corruption, no doubt a distinct irony in the desire to improve the morale of citizens.

           We can argue that the passion of the business executives steeped in the values ​​and rituals we understand the interest in developing businesses based on morality and professionalism. After a while constrained by the culture that much self noble values, now enlightened executives began to build a life with spiritual nuances which in turn will color business practices that they do anyway. In our discourse, a new ethos executive spirituality is what is called business.
