The Islamic Golden Age saw the Muslim civilization flourish with significant advancements made in areas such as science and the arts. This was all underpinned by Islamic economic ideals, which didn’t allow the use of riba. Riba (interest) is strictly forbidden in Islam and has many evils. Fast forward to the present, where Muslims are no longer economic powers, and riba has corrupted modern society.
JazakAllah for this important topic. Avoiding riba is truly essential for a halal lifestyle and spiritual peace. Strengthening our connection with the Quran helps guide us in such matters. Personally, I find daily reflection on Surah Yaseen very grounding—it brings clarity and reminds us of Allah’s wisdom. May Allah keep us all on the straight path.
