UNIFYING OUR UMMAH
THROUGH COMMERCE
26 – 27 April 2019
Sandton Convention Centre | 26 - 27 April 2019 - www.tradeconfex.com - Trade Confex
ABOUT THE CONFEX

Trade and commerce have always been a dominant component in Islam. Prior to the advent of Islam,
Makkah was the central hub of trade and commercial activities. Not only did the early Muslims engage
in trade but they travelled far and wide in order to conduct business activities. More often than not,
it was through the forum of trade and commerce that Islam spread within distant lands.

The Prophet (P.B.U.H) was a businessman himself prior to receiving Prophethood.
In accordance with this, Islam has prescribed laws and rules pertaining to business.

It is essential that we as Muslims ensure that we are knowledgeable of developments and
opportunities that are occurring within the sphere of Islamic trade and commerce. This will
display the true potential of the Ummah. Unification of the Ummah can be made possible through
the creation of local and global platforms by and for Muslims that will enable us to prosper.

WHY A CONFEX
            Conference + Expo = Confex

The Muslim tradesmen ever since their pioneering fathers were drawn to the promise of
enterprise in a new land, have been instinctive tradesmen. Today we call it relocation due
to overtrading.

The establishment of a community of innovative traders that over the decades have positioned
themselves into captains of various industries. Today the diaspora has galvanized itself into almost
every industry (with the exception of those trades forbidden by Islamic law), propagating a spirit of
fairness and inclusion amongst all racial and cultural divides.

The intention is to bring together moguls in their various fields in the spirit of networking and
promoting new business ideas and start-ups. We have compiled a wide variety of service providers
that are at the forefront of their diverse fields under one umbrella to innovate,
communicate and link through entrepreneurship programs.
