\n\tQuestion:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prohibition of Interest<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\"Bismillah\"<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the Holy Quran Allah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu has said:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Allah has permitted transactions and has forbidden riba” (Surah Al Baqarah v.275)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu has cursed the person who takes interest, who gives interest and who writes it and who witnesses it.”<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t(Mishkaatul-Masabeeh p.244 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“To take dirham of interest knowingly is worse than committing adultery 36 times.” (Mishkaatul-Masabeeh p.246 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe wealth of the riba-consumer, no doubt appears to be increasing, but no matter how increased is the wealth of the riba-consumer, he remains forever deprived of its fruits that is comfort and honour.  They will have less satisfaction and peace of heart.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, a person who gives zakat and regularly gives sadqah will have more satisfaction and peace of heart, which is the real comfort.  (Maariful Quran p.674 v.1)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu in the Holy Quran has said:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Allah destroys riba and nourishes charities”. (Surah Al-Baqarah v.276)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu is the Most Merciful and he forgives everybody’s sins.  If a person had been taking interest or was involved in interest bearing transactions, he should seek forgiveness from Allah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu. <\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAllah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu in the Holy Quran has said:<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Say, ‘O servants of mine who have acted recklessly against their own selves, do not despair of Allah’s mercy.  Surely Allah will forgive all sins.  Surely he is the Most Forgiving, the Very Merciful’.”   (Surah Az-Zumar v.53)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSa’id Ibn Jubayr reports from Saaiduna Ibn Abbas \"ra\u1e0dyAll\u0101hu that there were some people who killed a lot of people unjustly and had committed a lot of shameful acts.  They came to the Holy Prophet of Allah \"\u1e63allall\u0101hu and said, “The religion you invite us to is, no doubt, very good, but we have a problem.  We think about all the major sins we have already committed.  Now if we were to become Muslims, do you hope our repentance will be accepted?”  Thereupon, Allah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu revealed this verse.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe repentance made from sins, no matter how serious, even from kufr and shirk, gets to be accepted.  And by genuine tawbah, all sins will be forgiven; therefore, no one should lose hope in the mercy of Allah \"sub\u1e25\u0101nahu.  (Maariful Quran p.573 v.7)<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
