Justice & fairness

Justice & fairness – Is the essential measure subscribed to offering Shariah based products creating a fair and just society. (Holy Quran 22;41)

Riba (Interest on Lent Money)

Not only referred to as usury, it is any loan in which the lender specifies a return in excess of the capital amount immaterial if that amount is moderate or excessive. God forbids interest, and permits trade (Holy Quran (2;275 )

The Holy Quran forbids all interest based instruments and strongly condemns all interest bearing transactions in any form.

“Oh you who believe observe your duty to God and give up Usury, if you are believers “2;278

And if you do not be warned of a war against you from Allah and his messenger. And if you repent then have your principle sum, (without interest). Wrong not and you shall not be wronged. 2; 279

God permits trade and forbids interest and wages war on it, and draws a clear distinction between the both of these. Contending interest is not the same as earning a profit from trade.

The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) cursed the eater of interest, him who fed it (to others), its two witnesses and him who recorded it. (Narrated by Trimidhi, Ahmad3737, Abu Dawud 3333, Ibn Majah 2777)
