Relationship of Employers and Employees
Islam sees the relationship between employers and employees as a “brotherhood.” It is not a paternalistic relationship nor a patron-client
relationship, but one of equals where each has responsibilities to the other. The Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) reportedly said:-
“Your employees are your brothers upon whom Allah has given you authority, so if a Muslim has another person under his control, he/she should feed them with the like of what one eats and clothe them with the like of what one wears and you should not overburden them with what they cannot bear and if you do so, help them in their jobs!”
