The Minara Chamber of Commerce is a formally constituted organization formed in May 2000 to represent and assist South African Muslim businesses and entrepreneurs. The Chamber’s activities and objectives are based on the need to provide a formal voice and guiding vision for Muslim Business. The constitution and workings are based on an adherence to an Islamic Code of Conduct and Ethics as contained in the Holy Quran.
The Chamber was formed after much deliberation on the need for a Chamber and in consultation with a broad spectrum of the business community. The name Minara was chosen for the Chamber as it aptly reflects the vision and the objectives of the organization.
Membership is open to business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, organizations and students and there is no discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, language or cultural caste. Membership extends across South Africa and in time will grow into the rest of Africa.
The Chamber has received official recognition from the South African government and trade organizations and has established formal relationships with other Chambers of Commerce.
The Minara Chamber of Commerce will be built on a solid base of education, ethical conduct, social responsibility and an Islamic Code of Conduct. We will provide services and skills to benefit our members allowing them to soar above others. We will use our collective resources to uplift economic standing of the community and become a beacon of guiding light to our fellow citizens.
The Minara Chamber of Commerce strives for a high degree of professionalism and an ethos of credibility, dedication, passion and vision.
“O you who believe ….. let there be amongst you trade and business through mutual good will” Quran 4:24
