Usury (Interest)
The Prophet said the time will come upon people and they will consume Riba (Interest)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “ A time will come upon people in which they will consume usury.” It was said, “All of the people?”. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ replied, “Whoever does not consume it will be affected by its dust. ”
This clearly describes the state of the world economy today. Just think about how many people have interest-bearing bank accounts, buy things using credit cards, and are only able to afford to purchase a home through an interest-based mortgage.
Even if one somehow manages to avoid dealing in interest directly, almost every aspect of our lives is impacted by it.
