How to deal with fake products


Hello readers, I will be talking about ways to deal with counterfeits. Before that, I will like you to know that it is forbidden to sell or buy counterfeit products. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said there will be a reward from Allah if two people are honest in a trade.  They will get the benefit of martyr. However, if one of them is dishonest there will be loss in the trade. You should always speak the truth. Truthfulness leads to righteousness, righteousness leads to paradise.

So here are ways business owners can protect themselves from counterfeits. They can get intellectual property rights so that when the issues of counterfeit comes up they can be dealt with justly. A business can keep checking sites prone to selling fake products for counterfeits of their own products so that actions can be taken appropraitely. Lastly, businesses should inform their customers of what to look for to know if a product is a counterfeit of their own products and how to recognise the original product. This way customers could avoid them and force the counterfeits products out of the market.

Counterfeit products could be dangerous to the health of the customer. As such customers should take actions to protect themselves insha Allah (if Allah wills) from fake products. If a product sounds too good to be true then it is most likely not true. Advises given to them by business on identifyimg fake products should be adhered to.

Government should have firmer punishments in place for people that produces counterfeit product as this is one of the complaints I came about as they only usually get little punishments.

Make sure your business is halal. Everything  should be done seeking  the pleasure of Allah. Part of doing something seeking the pleasure of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him in this life and in the Hereafter. Everything happens according to the will of Allah (you have free will, therefore, you are responsible for your actions).

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.

Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). Thank you for reading. Keep checking this blog. Like this page on facebook. Cheers!
