ALLAH's ADDRESS TO MUSLIMS (PART 9) - In the name of Allah and may Allah's blessing be upon the last and final prophet, Mohammadﷺ O you who have believed, when you contract a debt one upon another for a stated term, then write it down. And let a writer write it down between you with justice, and let not any writer refuse to write it down, as Allah has taught him. So let him write and let the one upon whom is the truthful duty of payment (i.e. the debtor) dictate, and let him be pious to Allah his Lord and not depreciate anything therein. So, in case the one upon whom is the truthful duty is foolish, or weak, or unable to dictate himself, then let his patron dictate with justice. And call in to witness two witnesses of your men; yet, in case the two are not two men, then one man and two women from among the witnesses you are satisfied with, so that (in case) one of the two women should err, then either of the two should remind the other, and let the witnesses not refuse whenever...

A scene from the judgement day narrated in the Quran. Sharing with hope that every reader will draw benefit out of it. "On the Day when God assembles all the messengers and asks, ‘What response did you receive?’ they will say, ‘We do not have that knowledge: You alone know things that cannot be seen.’ Then God will say, ‘Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour to you and to your mother: how I strengthened you with the holy spirit, so that you spoke to people in your infancy and as a grown man; how I taught you the Scripture and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel; how, by My will, you fashioned the shape of a bird out of clay, breathed into it, and it became, by My will, a bird; how, by My will, you healed the blind person and the leper; how, by My will, you brought the dead back to life; how I restrained the Children of Israel from [harming] you when you brought them clear signs, and those of them who disbelieved said, “This is clearly nothing but sorcery”; and how I inspired the dis...

ALLAH's ADDRESS TO MUSLIMS (PART 7) - In the name of Allah and may Allah's blessing be upon the last and final prophet, Mohammadﷺ O you who believe, do not nullify your acts of charity by boasting about (doing people a) favour and by causing (them) hurt, like the one who spends his wealth to show off before people and does not believe in Allah and in the Last Day. So, his example is like a rock on which there is dust, then a heavy rain came over it and left it barren. They have no ability to gain anything out of what they have done, and Allah does not give guidance to the people who disbelieve The example of those who spend their wealth to seek the pleasure of Allah and to make firm (their faith) from (the depths of) their souls is like a garden on a foothill on which came a heavy rain, and it yielded its produce two fold. Even if a heavy rain does not come to it, a light drizzle is enough, and Allah is watchful of what you do. Quran 2:264 & 265 Points to be noted 1. Rasool...

ALLAH's ADDRESS TO MUSLIMS (PART 8) - In the name of Allah and may Allah's blessing be upon the last and final prophet, Mohammadﷺ "O you who believe, fear Allah and give up what still remains of ribā, if you are believers. But if you do not (give it up), then listen to the declaration of war from Allah and His Messenger. However, If you repent, yours is your principal. Neither wrong, nor be wronged." Quran 2:278-279 Points to be noted 1. All type of Interest and usury is strictly prohibited in islam 2. Islam promotes business, trade and profit but prohibits interest.  3. Muslims should not be fooled by so called islamic banks which charge interest yet term it as profit 4. Interest is one of the major sin. Anyone who consumes it or writes it is as if declaring a war against Allah and his messenger. 5. If someone lends a loan then the principal is his to take and any benefit taken above that is interest and is haram. May Allah save us all from interest, guide us and for...
