Abstract

Many Muslim-majority nations are amongst the world’s poorest, and it was stressed that more deliberate efforts should be made to encourage entrepreneurship to uplift those who fall under poverty group and increase their life’s quality.

Locally, it was indicated there had been an increasing trend of those falling within the poverty bracket in the Muslim community. This trend was further intensified by the COVID-19 Pandemic. The situation placed a heavier burden on the authorities, specifically, the needed zakat collection had jumped tremendously in order to meet the needed projected zakat distribution. More sustainable solutions are needed to address the situation; to enable the Asnafs to improve their livelihood and wellbeing by not relying on charity or handouts. Given the recently completed study (FRGS/1/2017/SS03/MMU/02/10) that confirms the Qalb behavioural traits as determinants of the inclusive entrepreneurial intention. It recommended the introducing Qalb-based entrepreneurship as a key solution among the community. Arguably this will strengthen their resilience in order to enhance their individual situations and ultimately improve the collective wellbeing. This paper presents exploratory findings on Qalb-based Entrepreneurship among Muslim entrepreneurs.
