WAR WITH ALLAH (Naazbuallah)

Nowadays almost everyone of us availing facility of CREDIT CARDS and consumer financing (Leasing of Cars, Easy Loans etc.) from banks. Did we ever think that by doing this we are directly involved in INTEREST (Riba) which according to holy Quran is just like involving in “War with Allah and His Messenger”. Allah(swt) says in holy Quran:



[2:278] O ye who believe! Fear Allah, and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers.


[2:279] If ye do it not, Take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger: But if ye turn back, ye shall have your capital sums: Deal not unjustly, and ye shall not be dealt with unjustly.



[3:130] O ye who believe! Devour not usury, doubled and multiplied; but fear Allah; that ye may (really) prosper.



On the other hand after availing such facilities and having Credit Cards in the wallet we are also performing SALAT (Prayers) and try to become true Muslim.



We should think about the fate of our good deeds (Aamal-e-Saleh) specially when we are directly involved in war with Allah (Swt) and his Messenger.



We should avoid dealing in INTEREST as much as it is in our control if we want our prayers to be accepted by ALLAH (Swt). One might say that he/she tries to return the amount before the interest is charged but there are very much chances that the cheque is misplaced or some sort of dispute of wrong entries arise at later stage.



A large number of people using Credit Cards are involved in disputes and have complaints against banks. It’s a sort of temptation that whether you have money or not in the pocket you will spend through Card as nothing is going from you at that time (Human psychology). This is also a reason of living beyond the limit. So its better to have Debit Card instead of Credit Card, have Current Account instead of saving and avoid taking loans from banks on interest.



People say that one can’t do business without it and whole country is on Interest/Usury, BUT something which is in our control/choice could be avoided. Doing business on interest is not must. There are people who sacrifice the worldly benefits due to not involving in interest. We can’t remove SIN from the society but atleast can struggle against it by not involving in it.



REMEMBER! The oder of Allah(swt) is final as the holy Quran is final till last day. Don't think while ordering in Quran, Allah(swt) didn't know the future that people will face such condition. Actually this life is test for us as Allah(swt) says:



[29:2] Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested?
[29:3] We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.



May Allah guide us right path and give us courage to fight against EVIL……. Aameen.
