The 5th Businessmen Meeting, organized by The Right Industrialists’ and Businessmen's Association (HAKSIAD) under the slogan "Strong Ties, Great Achievements," continued on its third day with notable participation from various sectors.

HÜDA PAR Chairman Zekeriya Yapıcıoğlu attended the event, highlighting the importance of righteousness in business and life.

In his speech, Yapıcıoğlu began by wishing the meeting to be auspicious, emphasizing the significance of good intentions. He stated, "Inshallah, the intention is good. If the intention is good, the aftermath is better, inshallah. Here we have guests from all over the country and even from abroad. Inshallah, we are convinced that the intention is good. May Allah (swt) grant you success in line with your good intentions."

Yapıcıoğlu stressed that the foundation of every endeavor is righteousness, quoting Bediuzzaman Said Nursi: "Sıdk (Righteousness) is the base of Islam." He elaborated that truthfulness is the essence of belief and faith, and it is a great treasure in every profession. He urged businessmen to uphold righteousness, as it has historically served their faith well.

He further explained that the rapid spread of Islam was due to the truthfulness and trustworthiness of Muslim merchants, more so than the guidance of mujahideen. Yapıcıoğlu encouraged the attendees to continue on the path of righteousness, predicting that their trade would expand and potentially reach a global scale. He emphasized that earnings obtained through righteousness and honesty are more valuable than those gained through dishonest means.

Yapıcıoğlu concluded by highlighting the importance of truthfulness not only in individual trade but also in partnerships. He stated, "If two people are together in a solid way by being honest with each other with righteousness, their third is Allah Inshallah. If 4 people come together, the 5th one is Allah insha'Allah. In other words, a partnership in which the help of Allah is together, Allah willing, will accomplish much greater works. It leads to much bigger gains."

He wished the attendees abundant and halal earnings, urging them to spend their wealth in ways that please Allah. The event continued with various discussions and networking opportunities, fostering strong ties and great achievements among the participants. (ILKHA)
