Are you at war with Allah and His Messenger (s.a.w)

 

O my Muslim Brothers and Sisters, Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, is talking… .conversing with you and me, His slaves… .requesting us that RIBAA (interest) is Haraam.

 

"O you who accept! Dread Allaah and surrender what is still because of you from Ribaa on the off chance that you are (genuinely) adherents." (al-Baqarah:278)

 

And afterward He WARNS us:

 

"Furthermore, assuming you don't do it's anything but, a notification of WAR from Allaah and His Messenger." [al-Baqarah:279]

 

Did we peruse the Ayah cautiously?? Perhaps, we should peruse it once more.

 

What does it say??

 

It says that assuming we don't surrender ribaa (usury), we should take a notification of battle from Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم)

 

AT WAR?!! With WHOM?? With ALLAAH and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) !!??

 

Subhaan Allaah!!

 

In the Qur'aan, Allaah doesn't announce battle on anybody with the exception of individuals who bargain in ribaa.

 

Do we at any point understand being at battle with Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم)??

 

Do we at any point get it??

 

The individual at battle with Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) will be given a weapon on the Day of Judgment; it will be said to him: "Presently battle Allaah and His Messenger!!! (Ibn Katheer)

 

O Allaah save us from that !!

 

The one at battle with Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) is CURSED in this Dunya and in the Hereafter. He is DOOMED. There is no bliss, no harmony, no NOTHING for him. He is only… . a LOSER.

 

But then, we keep on managing in interest… .keep on resisting the Almighty… keep on fulfilling our cravings… .keep on being at battle with Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم)!

 

Where are we going??

 

What is wrong with us??

 

Is this world and its TEMPORARY delights more significant than the joy of our Lord, the One Who supports us and gives us everything… .and, I mean, everything??

 

Is it true that we are not terrified of meeting Him??

 

How will we respond when we will be given a weapon to battle??

 

Would we be able to even DARE????

 

Would we be able to try and want to SURVIVE???

 

Allaah says:

 

"The individuals who eat Ribaa won't remain (on the Day of Resurrection) with the exception of like the remaining of an individual beaten by Shaytaan driving him to madness." [Baqarah: 275]

 

At the end of the day, on the Day of Resurrection, these individuals will get up from their graves similarly as the individual who is crazy or as somebody moved by an evil spirit would. Ibn 'Abbas said, "On the Day of Resurrection, the individuals who devour Ribaa will be revived while crazy and experiencing seizures." And simply take a gander at the ahaadeeth in regards to this major, MAJOR sin!!

 

1) Interest sentences an individual to serious discipline:

 

The Prophet (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) said:

 

"Last night I saw two men who came to me and took me out to a sacred land. We set out until we went to a waterway of blood where a man was standing, and on the bank of the stream there was a man with stones before him. The one who was in the waterway came and needed to get out, yet the other man tossed a stone in his mouth and he returned to where he had been. Each time he needed to get out, he tossed a stone in his mouth and he returned to where he had been. I said, 'What is this?' He said: 'The one whom you found in the stream is the person who burned-through ribaa.'" (Bukhaari)

 

2) Interest destines an individual to HELL:

 

The Prophet (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) said:

 

" 'Keep away from the seven sins that destruction an individual to Hell.' They said: O Messenger of Allaah, what are they?' He said: 'Avoid, enchantment, killing a spirit whom Allaah has prohibited us to kill,consuming ribaa (interest), devouring vagrants' abundance, fleeing from the war zone, and defaming virtuous, guiltless accepting ladies.' " (Bukhaari, Muslim)

 

3) ALL (immediate or circuitous) dealings of Interest are Haraam:

 

The Messenger of Allaah (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) reviled ten individuals:

 

the person who devours ribaa, the person who pays ribaa, the person who records it, the two who witness it, the person who makes it legal, the one for whom it is made legal, the person who retains good cause, the person who does tattoos and the one for whom inking is finished." (Muslim)

 

4) Interest is WORSE than ZINAA:

 

The Prophet (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) said:

 

" A dirham which a man devours as ribaa intentionally is more terrible before Allaah than THIRTY-SIX ACTS OF ZINAA." (Ahmad, Tabaraanee-saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami').

 

5) Interest resembles COMMITTING ZINAA with one's own MOTHER!!!

 

What's more, he (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) said:

 

" There are 72 kinds of ribaa, the least of which resembles a man submitting interbreeding with his own mom." (Tabaraanee–saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami').

 

Astaghfirullaah!

 

We are nauseated with even the prospect of such awful demonstrations. However, notwithstanding every one of the alerts, all the ahaadeeth we read, every one of the talks we hear on this theme, we keep on being defiant… .we keep on enjoying our cravings, totally dismissing its results.

Allaah says:

 

"Have you seen he who took his craving for a divine being? With information, Allah has driven him off track, setting a seal upon his hearing and heart, and has made a shroud over his eyes, who then, at that point will direct him after Allah? Will you not then recall!" (al-Jaathia:23)

 

Isn't this world and anything that's in it a hallucination and a test for the adherents?

 

In any case, by one way or another, we purposely close our eyes on the proof and think of ALL the reasons on the planet.

 

And afterward we can't help thinking about why there is no harmony in our lives? Why our children are crazy? Why we experience the ill effects of nervousness and discouragement? WHY THERE IS NO BARAKAH?

 

A few reasons we think of:

 

1. In any case, I NEED a house/vehicle/advance and so forth

 

The way that an individual may require a house or vehicle, or to get hitched, or some other need, doesn't give him the pardon to accomplish something that Allaah has prohibited. For what reason do we need to BUY a house? We can generally lease.

 

For what reason do we must have a major, extravagant house in the event that we can't manage the cost of it? We can generally manage with a sensible spot.

 

Is it worth welcoming on Allaah's fury? Simply consider everything.

 

Allaah says:

 

"Say: "Not equivalent are Al-Khabith (detestable things) and At-Tayyib (beneficial things), despite the fact that the bounty of Al-Khabith may satisfy you". (Surah al-Ma'idah:100)

2. I just did it for my better half/kids

 

Our family may say thanks to us now, yet THEY WILL CURSE US ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT… .in light of the fact that the Prophet (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) said:

 

"The tissue and body that is raised on unlawful food will not enter Paradise. Damnation is more having the right to the tissue that develops on one's body out of unlawful food." (Ahmad)

 

What's more, guess what? We will revile them as well… .in the event that we managed ribaa as a result of them, when we will confront Allaah and respond to Him.

 

" O you who accept! Let not your properties or your kids redirect you from the recognition of Allaah. What's more, whosoever does that, then, at that point they are the LOSERS." (Al-Munaafiqoon:9)

 

3. In any case, isn't there a fatwa that says it's OK… .?

 

What is haraam is what has been illegal by Allaah and His Messenger صل اللہ عليه و سلم(), and what is halaal is what has been allowed by Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم). Since some SAY it is alright, when there is no desperate need, doesn't make wrong right or right off-base. The Prophet (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) has revealed to us that there will come when individuals will allow what Allaah has prohibited, like infidelity, liquor and instruments. That doesn't imply that these haraam things will then, at that point become halaal.

 

"Furthermore, say not worried what your tongues set forth falsely:'This is legal and this is prohibited,' to concoct lies against Allaah. Verily, the individuals who imagine lies against Allaah won't ever succeed" [al-Nahl:116]

 

4. On the off chance that it was so off-base, Allah would have rebuffed me long time back… .

 

Since Allaah is allowing us an opportunity to apologize and fix ourselves, doesn't imply that it approves of Allaah for us to do haraam.

 

Recollect this hadeeth of the Prophet (صل اللہ عليه و سلم):

 

" Whenever Allaah expects to do great to a worker, He hurries to rebuff him in this world. Furthermore, at whatever point Allaah expects evil for a worker, He defers the discipline until the Day of Judgment." (Tirmidhi)

 

Some Common Ways we bargain in Ribaa

 

— By taking interest-based LOANS for houses/business/vehicles, and so forth Or on the other hand assisting somebody with getting interest-based LOANS, regardless of whether we didn't take that credit ourselves.

 

— Putting cash in revenue based BANK ACCOUNTS (regardless of whether we part with the premium),

 

— Working for such banks (regardless of whether we don't manage ribaa),

 

— Working for a MOTGAGE COMPANY

 

— Working as a LOAN OFFICER, — Having an equilibrium on our CREDIT CARD that charges interest, and so on

 

Earnest allure

 

O my Brother/Sister… .Ribaa is haraam as per the Qur'aan, the Sunnah and academic agreement.

 

We ought to be content with that which Allaah and His Messenger ( صل اللہ عليه و سلم) have allowed, and abstain from that which Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) have illegal. We ought not be bamboozled by the spread of ribaa in each spot. We ought not allow the Shaytaan to lead us adrift, pulling us by our longings.

 

We need to apologize now … ..For, by Allaah, on the off chance that we atone genuinely, He will excuse us.

 

We need to make our expectation NOW, not tomorrow, not even this evening… …

 

We ought to get it done NOW to escape ribaa and He will discover an exit plan for us, without a doubt. Since that is the thing that He guaranteed.

 

I ask that we are not from THE ONES WHO TURN AWAY when helped to remember their Lord's stanzas.

 

"Who is more prominent in evil than he who, when helped to remember the sections of his Lord, gets some distance from them and fails to remember what his hands have sent before him? We have put cover over their souls in case they ought to get it, and there is substantialness in their ears. Regardless of whether you call them to direction, they won't ever be directed."
