“Allah will destroy Riba (Interest) and will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners”. (Holy Qur’an, Al-Baqarah, Chapter 2, Verse 276)
Assalaamoalaikum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuhu, Dear Fellow Muslims
,Interest (Riba) is considered
haram and is forbidden and should be avoided at all costs. At one place in the Holy Qur’an (Ayah 279 of Surah Baqarah) Allah SWT says that taking Riba or Inetrest is like
waging a war against Allah & His Messenger Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Allah-o-Akbar.
These days it becomes difficult to avoid accruing interest as most Indian & Western banks automatically apply for interest payments on money in any account, meaning many Muslims accrue it without meaning to.

Interest (Riba) or benefit from it in any way. In fact, the literal meaning of riba (interest) as it is used in the Arabic language means to excess or increase. In contrast, the Holy Qur'an says, “
Allah decreases interest and increases sadaqah”. From the Islamic point of view, interest means effortless profit which is free of exchange.
