Definition and Context of Prophetic Entrepreneurship
📌 A nation is considered advanced if it has not less than 10% entrepreneurs; Indonesia currently has less than 4%.
🏃‍♂️ Entrepreneurs are portrayed as "ant heads"—free to move and decide their schedule—rather than "elephant tails" (employees) who must follow prescribed rhythms.
🌟 Prophetic Entrepreneurship (Wirausahawan Propetik) integrates business activities with ethical and spiritual values, aiming for universal welfare (*kemaslahatan universal*) beyond self-interest.
📉 This concept arises as a counter-narrative to exploitative, capitalistic economic models that harm resources and people.

Characteristics of a Prophetic Entrepreneur (Based on Prophetic Traits)
🌱 Siddiq (Honest/Truthful): Must be honest in business dealings, prioritizing integrity over short-term profit and maintaining trust with consumers and the environment.
🤝 Amanah (Trustworthy): Diligently maintaining the trust placed by customers regarding goods or services provided.
🗣️ Tabligh (Delivering Concepts): Possessing the ability to effectively convey product ideas or concepts, often utilizing digital technology.
🧠 Fatanah (Intelligent/Wise): Being sharp in recognizing opportunities, calculating business needs, and achieving profitable outcomes accompanied by blessing (*keberkahan*).

Evolution of Business Consciousness
🥇 The highest level of business awareness moves beyond monopoly (self-focus) and competition (exhausting conflict) to collaboration (focused on "what I get").
🌍 The ultimate stage is Ecosystem Consciousness, where activities aim to strengthen a life ecosystem that brings welfare and happiness to many parties, rather than just personal joy amidst others' suffering.
📈 A key insight is that a company thriving while its surroundings suffer is "digging its own grave" due to ensuing societal gaps and problems.

Actionable Principles from Prophetic Guidance
🕊️ **Spread Peace (*Absus Salam*): Compete professionally but avoid black campaigns or actions that harm others; maintain a corridor of peace.
🎁 Share Food/Resources (*Atimut Taam*): Prophetic entrepreneurs must allocate a portion of their business activities for sharing and giving back.
🔗 Build Networks (*Wasil Arham*): Business success requires building strong networks and community connections, acknowledging that no one can operate alone.
🌙 Be Vigilant (*Shu Bail Wasun*):** Maintain high awareness and instinct, looking for overlooked opportunities (*kemaslahatan* and *rezeki*) that others might miss while they are complacent.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The objective of prophetic business is not solely profit maximization, but maximizing **universal welfare (*almaslahatul amah*)**, leading to success in both this world and the hereafter (*falah*).
➡️ Business integrity must be anchored in strong faith and religious understanding, counteracting the "new atheism" approach of spirituality without organized religion.
➡️ Success is measured by the footprint of benefit left for others and maintaining positive, non-disappointing memories with business partners, ensuring lasting and beneficial business longevity.
➡️ Prophetic entrepreneurs utilize Islamic instruments like Zakat, Infaq, Sedekah, and Waqf as mechanisms to build ecosystem consciousness, understanding that good deeds done for others are ultimately for oneself.
