Truth:

Both communities have strong traditions of trade and commerce. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a merchant before his prophethood, and Islam encourages honest trade. The Quran states: "Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest" (2:275). Hindu merchants (Vaishyas) have been traders for millennia, and Hindu texts like the Arthashastra provide detailed guidance on commerce. Both traditions: 1) Encourage honest trade, 2) Prohibit cheating, 3) Emphasize fair dealing, 4) View business as honorable, 5) Have produced successful merchants. Indian merchants, both Hindu and Muslim, have traded across the world for centuries. Both traditions teach that ethical business is a form of worship and service to society. The emphasis on honest trade has contributed to the economic success of both communities.
