SAYINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET ﷺ ABOUT RIBA (INTEREST) - Part 3

- Rasool Allah ﷺ said, "the society in which Riba becomes rampant is punished with famine, and the society where Riba is rampant is punished with horror (of others).

- Rasool Allah ﷺ on the night (of Ascension: Miraj) when we reached the seventh sky, I looked upwards and saw thunder, lightnings and thunder-claps. Then I came across some people whose stomachs seemed to be houses full of snakes - one could see them from the outside of their stomachs. I asked Jibra'il: "Who are they?" He replied, "They are those who used to take Riba (interest or usury)."

- Rasool Allah ﷺ said, "Abstain from sins which are not forgiven: Embezzling of the spoils (of Jihad), for whoever embezzles anything will come with it on the Day of Judgment, and the other sin is Riba."

From Ma'ariful Quran, by Mufti Muhammad Shafi Rehmatullah Elaih
