CALL IT INTEREST ON LOANS, RIBA OR USURY, IT'S ALL FORBIDDEN AND ITS HARAAAAAM AND A MAJOR MAJOR SIN FOR BELIEVERS IN ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER MUHAMMAD ABDULLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam

THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis, 10th day of Shawwaal (Thursday 13th June, 2019).
*_CALL IT INTEREST ON LOANS, RIBA OR USURY, IT'S ALL FORBIDDEN AND ITS HARAAAAAM AND A MAJOR MAJOR SIN FOR BELIEVERS IN ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER MUHAMMAD ABDULLAH sallallahu alaihi wasallam_*. BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

We just ended resetting our relationship with ALLAH as such, I would like to remind myself and all fellow believers about one of the evil major sins that we commit easily without realising its effects in our lives and punishment awaiting us with ALLAH so that we can consider repenting.

Riba, Usury, Interest etc is of two major kinds: Riba An-Nasia - Interest on lent money. Riba Al-Fadl - Taking a superior thing of the same kind of goods by giving more of the same kind of goods of inferior quality, eg. FRESH OR DRY DATE'S of superior quality for dates of inferior quality in great amounts.

In the Islamic terminology interest means effortless profit or that profit which comes free from compensation or that extra earning obtained that is free of exchange in commodity or service. Riba has been described as a loan with the condition that the borrower will return to the lender more than and better than the quantity borrowed.

As muslims, our main concerns when it comes to financial transactions is to avoid Riba or interest in any of its forms, despite the fact that the basic foundation of the world economics and finance today is that of riba and dealing in usury. The fact that they drink alcohol, eat pork, making Zina halaal to themselves etc doesn't mean you follow their suit isn't it? So why their interest based dealings which is worse than all mentioned above?

The Prophet  has foretold us of a time when the spread of riba would be so overwhelming that it would be extremely difficult for the Muslim to avoid it. This situation calls for Muslims to be extra cautious before deciding on what money payment of financial methods to use in any personal or business transaction.

To make sure that we are safe from Riba, we have to learn which transactions lead to it. But before we go into that let me point out that ALL loans from any non Islamic bank is HARAAM, a major sin and whoever give, receive or help in its operations such as working in non Islamic Bank, credit financial institution etc has raised a WAR WITH ALLAH, This is mentioned in QUR'AN chapter 2 vs 278 (read it for yourself). Let's fear ALLAH and rather choose to remain in puverty instead of putting fire to our stomach. Frankly, I can confidently say that our selfish interest to make life better by ALL MEANS make some go for these loans or credit cards with interest because, no one can get these facilities if you are not working anyway and if you are working why don't you manage the little you have and seek blessings from ALLAH to make it in life the halaal way? Debit card is acceptable to take so that you can get paid on it by your job but dont accept credit cards, overdrafts or loan please. Stop working with these financial institutions. All those pyramid type introducing people and making money are all forbidden. Let's to sell our eemaan to sheitan.

*_May ALLAH have mercy on us all_*. Aameen. Allow me more time to respond to any questions as I'm extremely busy relocating, painting by myself  and hardly touch my phone.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today?

 One of the question asked is can a Christian enter Jannah today? Alhamdulillah, it is clear from Quran and hadiths that any christian who dies believing Jesus is God or son of God and do not believe in prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him will enter hellfire. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:17 They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent. Allah says, Al-Ma'idah 5:72 لَقَدۡ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ ٱبۡنُ مَرۡيَمَۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡمَسِيحُ يَٰبَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَرَبَّكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يُشۡرِكۡ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ وَمَأۡوَىٰهُ ٱلنَّارُۖ وَمَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنۡ أَنصَ...

PURIFICATION OF THE HEART

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm al-khamis, 20th day of Swafar 1447AH, Thursday, 14th August 2025. *_PURIFICATION OF THE HEART_*. BismilLah.  A sister asked me yesterday how we can purify ourselves to achieve the immense benefits mentioned in our reminder yesterday.  The command to purify our hearts from sins was an essential Islamic teaching ever since the early stages of the revelation in Mecca. This is known as “purification of the soul” (tazkiyyat an-nafs).   ALLAH Azzawajal says: He has succeeded who purifies the soul, and he has failed who corrupts the soul. Surah Ash-Shams 91:9-10. Also, ALLAH Azzawajal says: A day when there will be no benefit in wealth or children, but only in he who comes to ALLAH Azzawajal with a pure heart. Surah Ash-Shu’ara 26:88-89.  We learn from these verses that our success in the Hereafter depends upon the purification of our hearts in this life. We must purify our hearts from spiritual sins such as greed, malice, envy, arrog...
