00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			Are the bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:12
			lesson number 37 Surah Al Baqarah will begin from iron number 275.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:45
			After mentioning the reward of spending in the way of Allah subhanaw taala, on humanity on the needs
of others, when this character is developed in us, this character of giving, sharing well wishing,
being concerned for others. Now, Allah subhanaw taala mentions the exact opposite of spending, which
is receiving, taking and taking what, taking interest.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:56
			Allah mentioned the people who spend day and night openly and secretly, that their reward is
preserved with Allah.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:10
			And now, Allah mentions about the sin, the evil consequences of taking from people, but taking what
from people, riba interest,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:41
			interest is the exact opposite of info, River is the exact opposite of info, that instead of giving
to a person who is in need, what is the person doing, he is taking from him more than what he can
afford? When a person is a need? What does he do? He goes to others borrow something from them. Why
in order to fulfill his need,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:55
			if a person is in that desperate situation where he has to, he's forced to spread his hand out
before others, in order to borrow from them, what have we been encouraged to do as muslims spend on
him, help him give him charity,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:20
			but a charity is not being given and be when something is lent to him. Then what is expected of him
that he returns the loan, and on top of that, he gives more. So you're not just taking from someone
who is in need, but you are exploiting him, you are making use of his desperate situation,
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:34
			you are asking him for what he cannot even afford, you can afford to give you can afford to borrow
it from your money and you are expecting from someone who cannot even afford,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:48
			you are expecting him to give you what he does not even have what he cannot even afford, this is
River, this is interest. And this is the reason why it is forbidden.
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51
			It is a major sin,
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:59
			our wealth, the money that we own, the possessions that we have, are given to us by who Allah
subhanaw taala.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:18
			Therefore we can do with our money only what Allah is pleased with, which means that when we acquire
it, or when we spend it or when we use it, we should do all of this in the way that Allah likes that
Allah approves off. And if Allah does not approve of it, we cannot do that.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:26
			So we see that earning money through Halal means permissible, a rewardable act.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:34
			But earning money through haram means earning money through riba through interest. That is something
forbidden.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:59
			Even if we say, everybody deals with interest, everybody gives and takes interest. You can't even
have money in your bank, except that you receive interest on it. Even if everybody does it,
remember, your money is given to you by Allah. So you can only do that with your money, what Allah
approves off, because we are servants and he is the master.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:17
			We are creation and He is the Creator. We will be questioned and he will not be questioned, he will
instead question us. We are accountable for all of our deeds including our financial transactions
including our financial decisions, we are answerable to him.
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			Now in these I asked
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			the prohibition of interest as mentioned
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			that interest Riba is something that is haram.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:46
			And I'm not saying something that is disliked something that is not that good. No, it is something
that is haram. How raw Elif mean, which means that we as Muslims cannot at all partake in it in any
way whatsoever.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:59
			Interest consuming it dealing with it is a major sin. It's a major sin. It's not just a sin. It's a
major sin. It's a destruct
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Tip sin that will lead its consumer to hellfire.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:29
			It doesn't matter if that consumer has done Hajj. It doesn't matter if he has given a lot of sadaqa
it doesn't matter. If he consumes River, he consumes interest that interest is going to take him to
hellfire. This is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, each 10 Eboo stay away from
avoid the seven destructive sins.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:06:25
			The people asked what are the seven destructive sins or messenger of Allah? The messenger of allah
sallallahu Sallam replied, a ship biller. The first destructive sin that destroys a person is what a
ship Biller, associating partners with Allah subhanaw taala. Secondly, said magic performing magic.
paying someone to perform magic practicing magic haram. It's an action that will lead a person to
hellfire that will ruin him that will destroy all of his good deeds 30 kutlu knifes killing a soul
which Allah has forbidden meaning an innocent person killing him. This is an act that is forbidden
as well. Well, occlude Riba and consuming interest consuming interest. This is also a major
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:53
			destructive sin and consuming the wealth of the orphan and running away from the battle. Running
away fleeing from the battle. This is also a major sin and accusing chaste women accusing chest
women of what of adultery or fornication women who cannot even think of doing anything like that,
accusing them of committing haram. These are seven destructive sins that will lead a person to
hellfire
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:46
			of them is river consuming interest. One of the scholars said that there is no major sin against
which such great and severe warning is given, except in the case of riba except in the case of river
River is one of those major sins concerning with such severe warning is given that you can't compare
to any other major sin obviously shouldn't biller understood, but other than that, no major sin is
as bad as the consumption of Riba. Listen to the Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that
Allah has cursed the consumer of Riba, the one who consumes riba Allah has cursed him. What does it
mean? This person is far from the Mercy of Allah, where's the Mercy of Allah in Jana? This person is
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:18
			far removed from paradise. He's not going to Paradise, who killed River, the one who eats river the
one who consumes River and not just the consumer of river, but also the one who records that
transaction, the one who witnesses that transaction, the transaction in which Riba is involved. The
one who writes it records it witnesses is the one for whom that transaction is being made. Every
person related to interest is cursed by Allah.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:36
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, One night I dreamt, the two men came, these are
angels, and they took me to the Holy Land, meaning vital muchness. From where we proceeded on until
we reached a river of blood.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:09:07
			The Prophet sallallahu sallam was shown many matters of the unseen. Why? Because he was the
conveyor. So he had to see the unseen in order to pass that knowledge on to others in order to
convince us of it. So he was taken to he was shown a river of blood where a man was standing, and on
its bank was standing another man with stones in his hands. So a person in the river of blood, and
another on the side, with stones in his hand.
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:44
			The man in the middle of the river tried to come out, but the other threw a stone in his mouth, and
forced him to go back to his original place. So whenever he tried to come out, the other man would
throw a stone in his mouth and force him to go back to his former place. And that's how the river
was a flood. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam asked Who is this? And he was told the person in the
river is the one who consumes Riba. This is the fate of those who eat interest, those who live off
of interest money.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:59
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Riba is 70 types, meaning it has various levels, the
least the least of which equals one having Zina with his own mother.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:04
			The least level of river
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:25
			the least level of Riba is as though a person has committed Zina with his own mother. And this is a
Hadith which is so here. It is quoted in Ibn magia and she Albani he has said that this hadith sahih
it is completely authentic, so have no doubt about the severity of this action.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:11:13
			It says though a person is committing Zina with his own mother, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said, One day hum of Riba, one day home $1 of river that a person devours while knowing that
it is River. He uses it while knowing that yes, this is interest. It is more severe in crime than 36
acts of Zina. Multiply that by 36 acts of Zina, that is a severity of the crime of consuming $1 of
labor. This hadith is also so here, it is reported in western Oklahoma, and Shia Kobani has said
that it is so here and there are many, many more Hadees that tell us how evil how severe this act
is.
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:22
			How hated this action is, how disgusting this financial decision is.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:32
			That how a person falls falls in the sight of Allah when he makes a decision to consume interest to
take ribber
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:39
			how his good deeds are destroyed, how that rubber is going to drag him to hellfire.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:47
			There are many verses that prove how loathsome how terrible this action is.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:12:09
			It is not just mentioned in the Hadith, but even in the Quran. Allah tells us about the severity of
this crime. Allah says Allah venia coluna Riba, those people, those individuals who eat Riba who
consume riba yeah Kelowna is from Akela, Hamza calf lamb, and akana is to eat something.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:24
			So they eat. What do they eat? ribber why has this been said that they eat ribeye? What does this
eating indicate? This eating refers to receiving the Riba
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:33
			taking River using river benefiting from it, dealing with it, earning profit, earning money through
River.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:13:15
			This is what your Karuna rebel refers to, because the prophets are honest and I'm sad that Allah
curse is the one who accepts Riba, the giver of Riba, the giver not just the receiver, but the one
who pays interest as well. Allah curses him, the two witnesses of it, meaning those who witness the
transaction of labor, and the one who writes it, the one who records it, Allah curses such
individuals. So don't be mistaken. Don't think that yeah, Kelowna River, this is talking about those
who consume meaning those who receive interest so it's okay to give interest No, it's not okay to
even give interest it's not okay to even pay interest. Even that is not acceptable from a believer.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:24
			Because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam cursed both the giver and the receiver, the one who writes and
the one who witnesses
		
00:13:25 --> 00:14:01
			in so he had these witches and Muslim, the Messenger of Allah Allah said, I'm cursed the one who
accepts Riba and the one who pays Riba, the one who accepts it and the one who gives it because no
one can accept it unless and until the other party agrees to pay it. No one can take it unless there
is someone to give interest. So both are equally responsible, not just the loan sharks, but also
those who agree to pay interest. So Alladhina yet coluna Riba, those who consume River, those who
live off of interest those who deal with interest.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:39
			And notice how a color that color has been said, why a color, because the majority of what we earn
goes wear into our tummies. The majority of what we earn, we end up using that money, we end up
eating that money. And Accola also shows greed on the part of the one who is dealing with interest
that he saw greedy, he saw hungry, he has something but yet he wants more. He's not satisfied with
what he has. So he wants more and more. So he's eating consuming, hungry greedily. He's never
satisfied
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:42
			and Lavina yet Karuna. Reba.
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:47
			The question is, what is River? What is interest?
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:59
			The river is from the letters raw that well. Robot your blue means to increase. When something
increases. We have read the word rubber
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			Earlier go Martha Lee Jan nothin be Robert in a high land Hi.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			So likewise Reba, that which has increased
		
00:15:11 --> 00:15:28
			definitely in the shanira River refers to could look or when Giovanna fine fun for Hawa ribbon every
loan that draws a profit on it that is riba
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			meaning anything that you lend to someone, you let them borrow it.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:45
			But in particular, this is talking about money, God. And on top of that, you take more.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:16:05
			So, for example, a person lends $1,000 to someone and says, when you give it back to me at the end
of the year, you're gonna give me $1,050 What's that $50 Riba? That is interest.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:27
			A person takes money from the bank to buy a house, he takes $400,000 and the agreement is that by
the time he pays off the loan, he will have paid $500,000 or $450,000 that additional $50,000 that
additional $100,000 What is that Riba?
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:31
			A person takes a loan in order to pay for their school.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:56
			So they take $20,000 from the bank and they are told by the time you complete your degree a year
after that, you have to pay back these $20,000 And on top of that, you also have to give $2,000 So
that $2,000 What is that Riba? Interest, call it what you want. It is interest, it is riba according
to Islam.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:19
			And Lavina coluna Riba, those people who consume interest, so interest is basically making money on
money. It is a fee or a fine that is paid on borrowed money. It is the addition upon the principal
amount that was lent to someone.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:35
			However, small or big, it may be, even if it's point 5%. Even if it's 2% or 20%, whatever it may be,
it doesn't matter. It is Riba.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			So if you have money sitting in the bank account,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:48
			and on that money, interest is coming and that interest is five cents a month, that five cents, what
is that? rebar
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:09
			that five cents is rebar. And because of those five cents because of those $200, because of that
$2,000 Because of that $50,000 Because of that $100,000 That is paid extra to the one who gave you
the money. Because of that. Even though it's a very small amount,
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			that entire transaction becomes a major sin.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:24
			That entire action becomes a major sin something that is enough to destroy all of our good deeds,
something that is enough to take us to hellfire.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:52
			A Lavina coluna ribber Allah says La Jolla ko muna such people they cannot stand they will not stand
in there except karma Yakumo just as he stands, who stands and levy yet the hub Babu che la luminal
mus the one who has been driven to insanity by the beating of shaitan.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:19:16
			Yet the Humberto is from the root letters horrible thought and hugged is such severe verb. It's such
a severe strike that causes damage, it is to hit something or someone so badly so severely that you
end up bruising them or they're born into breaking. This is what humped is
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:36
			the Humboldt is to strike to hit to beat senselessly and violently like a camel stamps. It's four
feet on the ground, or a person hits tree branches, or shakes the tree branches in order to get the
leaves off.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:47
			This is what the hub book is, The Hobbit is also covered a belay is to travel by night in darkness
randomly that a person is walking here, then he's walking there, then he's falling and he's getting
up
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			and the habit of shaitan. The habit of shaitan is when a gin or a Shavon has hit someone has
physically a
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:05
			affected a human being, so much so, that that person has gone crazy,
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:17
			that person is possessed, have you ever seen in real life or in a video, a person who is possessed
by the jinn,
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:50
			how is he acting, how is he talking? How is he screaming, how is he behaving, he is not using his
mind, he is as though lost his mind, he is physically affected, physically affected emotionally
mentally, he cannot function properly. So, those who consumed river there will not stand except like
the one who has been beaten by shaitan driven to madness, like that person stands.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:58
			Yet the hub buckle was shaped on aminal mus al mass is from the root letters meme seen seen and must
is to touch
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:08
			and this touching is the hitting the beating the striking of shaitan the effect of shaytaan on a
person the physical effect on him.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:20
			So, in other words, the person who consumes rubber is like image noon person, like a mad person,
like a person who is possessed by the demons by the Shavon.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:27
			Allah says over here lay your kimono they will not stand or they do not stand. What does it mean by
this?
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:54
			Two meanings. First of all, that right now, people who consume river who deal with interest, they
are like those possessed by the shale clean, like those beaten up by the shaytaan. How that the one
who consumes interest, he does not use his mind anymore. Just like the one who has been beaten by
Chopin, he cannot use his mind anymore.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			He is out of his mind.
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:04
			He cannot reason he cannot think in a rational way. It has though he has lost consciousness.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:54
			It happens that when a person is experiencing mania, meaning some mental illness, so much so that a
person has literally lost his intellect, then sometimes people experience hypersexuality in which
they expose themselves, they do things which they would never even think of doing otherwise, they
say things which they wouldn't even say otherwise, they behave in a way that they would not behave
normally. They lose control of themselves, they start behaving in an abnormal way. Such is the one
who consumes interest, he is not using his mind. He is not thinking logically. Because tell me Is
this a good decision that a person decides that I am going to consume interest and I am not going to
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:11
			go to paradise. I know that ribeye is haram. I know that it's as worse as committing Zina with your
mother. I know it's as bad as committing Zina many, many times, but I will still take interest. If a
person says that what would you say you're insane? You've lost your mind where is your reason?
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:20
			So those who consume interest are like those who are possessed by the demons are like those who have
lost their minds.
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:28
			Other scholars have said that this is describing the state of such people on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:23:30 --> 00:24:03
			On the Day of Judgment, when the Trumpet will be blown, people will rise from their graves and as
they rise from their graves, they will hasten rush towards the place of hasher the place of
gathering. But the river eater, he will stand up like a person who has been possessed by the shaft
lean, like a person who doesn't have any control over his mind and his body. So he will stand and
fall he will walk and he will fall. He will not be able to walk straight, like a person who is drunk
like a person who has lost his mind.
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:25
			So their humiliation, their punishment will begin from the moment that the day of judgment will be
established from the moment that the trumpet is blown, their punishment, their disgrace, their
humiliation will begin who those who consume interest those who deal with interest.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:30
			Those who indulge in it, their punishment will begin from that point onwards.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:53
			Some scholars have said that what this means is that yeah, Kelowna, Reba, they're consuming interest
so all the labor that they're eating, they're consuming on the Day of Judgment, when they're
resurrected that river will take a physical form. So it has all their bellies will be full of the
rebar that they have consumed full of rebar that they have used.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:59
			And as a result, they will not be able to walk. They will not be able to stand up straight. They
will
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			not be able to even run to the place of gathering.
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:16
			This is why someone will have to drag them. drag them to the place of Hashem in the Quran Allah
says, Set a con where Shahid says the one who drives the one who drags
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:27
			like a person who has lost his mind who is possessed by the demons. Then what happens? They make him
unconscious, and then they drag him.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:29
			They take him wherever they want to.
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:39
			A Lavina yet Karuna Reba, Leia ko muna INLA como Yakumo lady, yet the habita who Shantanu minimis.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:26:07
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I came across some people in the night in which I was
taken to the heavens. Their stomachs were like houses were in were serpents, meaning their stomachs
were like houses huge, full of snakes full of snakes, which could be seen from the front of their
stomachs. So I asked, What do you read? Who are these people? And he replied, these are those who
devoured interest.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:20
			Even our best will be lower and who said on the Day of Resurrection, those who consume river will be
resurrected while insane and suffering from seizures, suffering from seizures. Why?
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:48
			There Lika that is because Allah does not punish someone with injustice know if Allah ever gives a
punishment to someone, it means that they deserve it. valleca this humiliation this disgrace this
punishment? Why be unknown because indeed their meaning the river consumers all knew they said,
enamel Bayero Missler River. Indeed, Bayer is just like rubber.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:27:09
			Instead of accepting Allah's decision that Riba is haram, you're not allowed to consume it. Instead
of accepting it. They come up with reasons and excuses to allow themselves to consume Riba. They
come up with a list of reasons to make riba halal for themselves.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:59
			What's one of them, they say? Trade is just like rubber vejer from the letters by Bayer is to buy
and sell for the purpose of profit that what you have you sell it why is that you can make more
money. So likewise, I say that Bae is just like rubber, that you have something you give it to
someone, you sell it, you make profit on top of that. So likewise money, you lend it to someone and
you make profit on top of that. They say in the mulberry aromas LA River, why do they say that?
Because when a person has lost his mind that he cannot reason he cannot use his intellect properly.
So this is an evidence that they have truly lost their sense of reason. They are not using their
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:45
			mind properly in the Malbay or missile river. And also technically they should have said Indeed
river is like bay because they're trying to prove that advice. Okay. So they should have said river
first and bear next. But the fact that they're saying Bay first and river next to chose their mind
is not working properly. in Namibia or mythical River, this is what they say. But Allah says how can
it be the same? What 100 Allah will be you will have a riba they can never be the same trade and
consuming interest can never be the same. Why? Because Allah has made their trade halal. And he has
made interest haram a halal Allah who will bear will have Rama Riba
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:58
			and when Allah has made something halal, and another thing haram, can they ever be the same? No,
they can never ever be the same. Uh, hello Allah who will be our wahama ribber.
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:01
			Notice the word how Rama
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:11
			haram. This shows us very clearly that consuming, taking paying interest is something that is
forbidden.
		
00:29:12 --> 00:29:22
			It is something that is not allowed. The word Haram has been used. So end of story, no questions
asked. No ifs and buts. It is haram. That's it.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:59
			It's mentioned clearly in the Quran. It's mentioned clearly in the Hadith there are approximately 44
Zero a hadith that tell us about the prohibition of riba and there is a huge market consensus
amongst the scholars, that river is something that is forbidden or immobile or and when he said that
the idea about riba was one of the last verses to be revealed, what does that mean? It was a final
command. Nothing came after it, canceling it. No, it was a final command. What that Allah has
forbidden interest, and he has allowed trade why
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			because there's a huge difference between the two
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:35
			from a Jetta who Marilla to middle up be then whoever Jetta who it came to him what came to him mo
electron and advice a warning, meaning whoever receives the warning Mirabai from his Lord, then what
should he do fun the * then he stopped into her noon higher. Now he is to stop and empty here is
to stop oneself. So into her, he stopped himself meaning he refrained, he stopped dealing with
interest. From that point onwards
		
00:30:37 --> 00:31:21
			whoever received the warning and that's it he made a decision I'm not dealing with interest anymore.
Then this person, Allah says fella who then for him, masala for whatever has passed Salaf team
lambda and self is that which is over Santa Fe's to be over a SLAF seller for buyers, predecessors
and sisters because now they're gone. So my seller for whatever has happened before. Meaning that
person does not need to calculate how much interest he dealt with before in the past in his
ignorance, and he doesn't need to give it back or take it or whatever. No, he doesn't need to do
anything about whatever has happened. Whatever has happened, that is over. Now what you need to do
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:41
			is stop dealing with interest, Fanta, her fellow who myself what am Rahu in Allah and his affair is
with Allah. Meaning now his affair rests with Allah. It is up to Allah to forgive him or to hold him
accountable.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:59
			Forgiveness is not guaranteed. Whatever happened in the past, yes, you change your ways, but still,
it's not guaranteed that you'll be forgiven. What Unruh Illa Allah, the matter lies with Allah,
Allah who will decide if he wants to forgive the person or he wants to hold him accountable.
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:30
			Woman either and whoever returns meaning after knowing the warning, after knowing about the
prohibition of riba still he goes back to consuming interest dealing with interest. He doesn't
change his ways woman either, and other from the route that resigned while dal, whoever returns to
dealing with the same mess, eating the same haram filling his stomach with snakes. Whoever continues
to do that, for Ola equals Harbin.
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:38
			Then those are the companions of the Hellfire homefree her Holly dune they will abide in it forever.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:58
			Holly dune ones who abide eternally they will be in the Hellfire eternally. What does that mean?
That Allah will not purify them that this crime is so great, it is so severe that the punishment for
it is also very great. And what is that punishment hellfire.
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:01
			This is river.
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05
			The river by which we are surrounded
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:36
			the river on the basis of which we buy houses. We get our education. Sometimes we buy our groceries,
sometimes we buy our clothes in our shoes. Sometimes we pay for our trips. Sometimes we drive cars
that are based on Riba. And this idea tells us very clearly that this is not a small thing. Liber is
haram and it leads to hellfire. It's a major sin.
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:45
			It says though a person has been possessed by the shale clean, a person has been physically hurt by
the shale clean.
		
00:33:46 --> 00:34:06
			This is why Allah says that the one who receives the warning, who finds out that it's not allowed,
then he should discontinue dealing with interest and the one who does not the one who continues in
his old ways he does not change than for such a person as hellfire. homefree her Holly dune
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:22
			yet after all this, you will hear that your situation is different. You need a house, you need an
education, you need a car. So you are allowed. Have you heard of that?
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:33
			Of course. That's how we think everything is okay because we are in need. And we forget about these
verses which Allah has revealed in his book.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:59
			Things that are haram that are forbidden, yes, there are exceptional cases, when they are allowed
when they do become permissible for certain individuals. Why? Because they are in the ruler, they
have an extreme dire need, which if they don't fulfill they will die or they will suffer terribly.
They have no other
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:13
			choice. That is what little rot means. This is just like you are starving to death. You have no food
available, nothing to eat, except Except
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:16
			the dead meat of a human being.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:30
			You're about to die. Then what has Allah subhanaw taala said that for money Torah than whoever is
compelled out of necessity, then he may eat even that which is haram.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			We think about pork, we think about that human flesh.
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:52
			Even if we were starving to death, how many of us would like to eat that? Honestly, tell me, how
many of you would willingly happily proudly eat pork? Because you are dying out of hunger? Raise
your hand if you can do that. Happily, willingly eat that.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:36:06
			But yet, yet, when it comes to buying a house on her arm, what do we say? Our situation is
different. And we're so proud of that house.
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:14
			We're so proud of that house, which is why we're having parties there all the time. Which is why we
so proudly say that this is our house now.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:31
			We're so proud of that house. We are lying to ourselves, we're deceiving ourselves, when we say we
are in need, and we need that loan to get that education, we are in need, and we need that loan to
buy that house. No, you're not gonna die.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:47
			You're not gonna die. You're not in a desperate situation. It's just that we have made certain
standards for ourselves that by a particular age, we should have completed our education, even if
that means getting it on her arm loan.
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:55
			No, who said that you have to do that. You can work part time, you can study part time pay off for
your education as you study.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:37:18
			If it takes double the time, doesn't matter do that. If it takes two extra years doesn't matter do
that. So what if you're behind the rest of your friends, you don't want to be behind in Ghana. You
don't want to be behind in the hereafter. We have set a standard, that you have to own a house who
said you have to own a house. You don't need to own a house, you can rent.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:58
			But renting is wasting money. You're not wasting money that rent that you give you fulfilling a
need. And if you give it with the intention that you're fulfilling your obligation to provide for
your family, that money is written as charity for you that $1,500 That $2,000 or $2,200 that goes in
rent. What is that charity that has written for you? Every single month? Would you willingly give
that charity every month? No, you wouldn't. When you give that rent, it's written as charity, you
might say, but by the time I'm 40, I won't own anything doesn't matter. Allah is providing for you
now he will provide for you later. You don't have to own a house. You don't have to.
		
00:38:00 --> 00:38:06
			But we say we are in the euro. We are in a desperate situation. You are your best judge.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:23
			You know what situation you're in. And if you are really in a desperate situation that ALLAH knows
and you can tell Allah on the Day of Judgment. Oh Allah. Yes, I know ribeye is haram, but I had to
consume it, I had to deal with it. Because I was in a desperate situation.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:25
			When you make that decision,
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:37
			make sure you know what to say to along the Day of Judgment. Make sure you have an answer. Make sure
you have something to protect you on that day and if you don't, don't even go near interest.
		
00:38:39 --> 00:39:23
			Whatever happened in the past, a person should expect forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala whatever
riba was taken in the past, given in the past, Allah will forgive for that in sha Allah person
should be hopeful. But what we learned in this is that a person does not need to give back or take
anything, no whatever happened in the past, leave it as it is. Now worry about your future. Worry
about your tomorrow worry about your Day of Judgment. Allah says in the Quran Kula yester will hobby
Tabata you will know our agenda Kassala to hobbies say that the impure and the pure are not the
same, they are not equal. Even if the abundance of that which is impure, appealed to you that
		
00:39:23 --> 00:39:59
			there's impure everywhere. There is riba everywhere everyone is living in a house on mortgage and
here you feel you're still renting a basement apartment and so many years, are you still renting an
apartment, a house and so many years, you don't even know if you're going to have enough ever to buy
a house on cash. And people say who buys houses on cash these days? You can't even afford to do
that. And if you're buying a house on cash, you're wasting all of your cash. This is what people
think. So even if Hobbes is everywhere, your neighbor, your relatives, your friends, your co workers
are indulged in this haram. What does Allah tell you? Haram is not like *
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			It's never ever the same,
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:11
			never the same, so stay away from it. Even if everybody's doing it, you cannot do it still. Well, no
our job aka Catarratto hobbies.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:53
			Allah says young Hakala who Reba Allah abolishes robber, he destroys River. Yum Haku meme how cough
MAHAK is to a face to eradicate eliminate something. And it means to deprive something of blessing.
It's in a tangible sense and also intangible sense that physically destroy something, reduce it,
make it less so that eventually it's finished, in the intangible sense that what is there, there is
no Baraka in it, no blessing in it. So even if it's there, it's of no benefit to a person, Yom
Hakala, who riba labor Allah destroys that.
		
00:40:55 --> 00:41:11
			There is no Baraka in that money. This has been understood a number of ways. First of all, the M
Haku. Lucha Libre Allah destroys that how by making it haram. Allah wants to finish it about
completely how by making it haram for the believers.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:21
			But if we get sucked into the system of Riba, then are we unsalted Allah? Are we helping the cause
of Allah by destroying Riba?
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:26
			Or are we working for the cause of shaytaan promoting riba increasing Riba?
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:56
			What are we doing? we deceive ourselves saying I am of the unsalted Allah I'm of the unsalted Allah
yet the halal earned money that we get goes into money that Allah wants to destroy goes into a
system that Allah wishes to finish. Yum Huck Allahu Liber. The second meaning of this is that Allah
eliminates the blessing and the goodness of riba meaning the money that a person takes through
interest. There is no blessing in it.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:02
			And isn't it so that people buy houses on interest
		
00:42:03 --> 00:42:14
			or get education on interest. And they spend years and years and years trying to pay it off? The
father is working, the mother is working, the children are working.
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:23
			The person is working five days a week, sometimes seven days a week to make enough money to just pay
off the month's bills.
		
00:42:24 --> 00:43:06
			But he can't do that. There is no Baraka. Many people will be working to pay off one house yet
they're not able to pay it off. Why? Because the am hookah LaHood Reba, your money will have no
Baraka. If your Halal earned money is going into paying off interest, then you will have no savings
at the end. Even if you do have savings at the end. Your money will not bring much good to you.
Young Hakala horrible there is no blessing in that money. And we see this here that people are
working constantly day in and day out. What do they have at the end? The hearts are empty. Their
lives are empty. This is why they have to go party so often and get their mind off of their worries.
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:22
			They have to drink. People end up doing drugs. They're developing psychological mental issues. I'm
not saying this is the only reason but this is one of the reasons stress is so common. What is that
caused by don't have money don't have money, need money need money.
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:29
			Even though people have jobs still they don't have enough there is no Baraka, Yamaha Kumar, who
Reba,
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:32
			there is no blessing at all.
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:46
			Another meaning of this is that Allah destroys the river, meaning the river that a person earns when
he spends from it, the Nefer called the expenditure first and gets no reward, no reward whatsoever.
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:55
			So even if you spend all that money in charity, he gets no reward for that. It's impure money,
Yamaha cola river.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:47
			And on the other hand, while you're beside the card, and hola Casa saw the path to grow to increase
your B. Rob. Well, Rob, what? What is that a highland, same route as ribber. Over here, UB means
that he increases he gives more he causes to grow, what the further cause? How does he increase and
cause the car to grow? First of all, by commanding the believers to give sadaqa by encouraging that
we give sadaqa so many verses are revealed in the Quran that tell us about spending, spending in the
way of Allah spending on other spending on the needy giving. So you'd be sort of caught, this is
what Allah promotes. Allah does not want us to become selfish people but rather giving people he
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:59
			wants us to give to share your this other card. The second meaning of this is that Allah puts Baraka
in that money, that when a person gives even a little bit in charity,
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:13
			Then the halal money from which he given charity, that money is also sufficient for him, that money
is enough for him. In fact, he can do much more with that money compared to what other people can
do.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:46:00
			So, for example, there are two people, one person is earning $60,000 a year, another is earning
$40,000 a year, the one who's earning $60,000 A year he's paying off interest. So every month $500
to 1000 goes in paying off interest, and the one who's earning 40,000 He's not paying off any
interest at the end, who will get more value out of their money, the one who's making less money,
the one who's not paying interest, and on the other hand, the one who's making more money, but yet
paying off interest, he will not get much out of his money. Why? Because in his money, no Baraka but
the one who is earning Hallahan money from it, he is giving in South Africa, not in river, that is
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:19
			the one whose money will have Baraka in it. When you will be sadaqa Allah causes other cars to grow
to increase. And the third meaning of your Visa card is that he greatly rewards so the cost how much
seminary times to more than that. So yum Hakala, who Reba where you will be sada God
		
00:46:21 --> 00:46:39
			will la hula you Hibou and Allah does not like Kulluk affair in a theme. Every person who is
disbelieving, ungrateful and sinful. The word Kufa is the intensified form of the word Cafayate.
		
00:46:40 --> 00:47:23
			And remember that Kufa does not just mean disbelief, Guevara, is to cover so it also gives meaning
of ingratitude. So Kufa is not just one who is a staunch disbeliever. No, it's also someone who is
extremely ungrateful, extremely ungrateful person and a theme, the one who commit sin, this is also
an intensified form of athame, that they want to commit sin, but a theme, one who commits a lot of
sin. So Allah does not like those who are extremely ungrateful and extremely sinful. Why are these
two attributes mentioned over here? Because when a person deals with interest,
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27
			whether it is giving or taking,
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:53
			why is he doing that, because he wants more. He's not satisfied with renting a house, so he wants to
buy a house, he's not satisfied with the size of his house. So he wants to get a bigger house, he's
not satisfied with the certifications that he has. So he wants to get more degrees, he's not
satisfied with the amount of money that he's making. So he wants to make more money.
		
00:47:55 --> 00:48:01
			He's greedy, he's not happy with what he has. He is ungrateful.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:08
			And that ingratitude is taking him to committing sin, gonna foul a theme.
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:22
			And sin in what way that if you charge someone interest, the one who cannot even afford to pay back
the loan, you're charging them interest, this is a great same, exploiting the poor,
		
00:48:23 --> 00:49:11
			abusing the poor, benefiting from their desperate situation, this is sin. And on the other hand, the
one who gives in charity, then he is a grateful person. And He is a righteous person exact opposite
of comfort and esteem, who the one who gives a charity, how is he a grateful person, because you can
only give when you are happy. You can only spend when you are satisfied, when you are grateful to
Allah for whatever that he has given to you. Only then you can give and if you feel you don't have
enough believe me you cannot spend you can only spend on others, when you have this satisfaction
that you have sufficient, you have enough and you need to worry about others as well.
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:15
			So the one who spends in charity, he is a grateful person.
		
00:49:16 --> 00:49:30
			And he is the one who is righteous, because charity can be given by who the one who is concerned
about doing good, who can spend in the day and in the night and secretly and openly the one who
wants to accumulate good deeds.
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:46
			So dealing with interest is a sign of what in gratitude and of being sinful. Spending in charity is
a sign of being grateful and being righteous.

00:50:53 --> 00:50:53
			in
		
00:50:59 --> 00:51:34
			the verses that we learned were about the river. I wonder why it's called interest. Because they
want you to be interested in it, they want you to desire it because it helps you fulfill your
desires immediately quickly. But in the long run, it kills you. It destroys you. So what is
interest? What's the definition of rebirth? Cool Look, when giavanna Fun for who or even? What does
this mean? What's the meaning of this definition? How would you define Riba in English?
		
00:51:35 --> 00:51:50
			Any loan can look all the means every loan, Giovanna found that brings back benefit, a profit on top
for whatever, then that profit. That addition? What is that? Rubber?
		
00:51:51 --> 00:51:53
			Can you give me an example of rubber,
		
00:51:55 --> 00:51:57
			or mortgage? How was that an example of rubber?
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:18
			That a person borrows a particular amount of money in order to buy a house, but by the time he pays
that loan off, it's not that amount that he borrowed, but it's a certain percentage on top of that,
so 13% 20% 30%, whatever it is, so that makes it unlawful.
		
00:52:19 --> 00:52:30
			Besides trade, being halal and ribeye being haram, a couple of other things are different. So first
of all, trade, there is effort that's involved in making that money, and an interest.
		
00:52:32 --> 00:53:09
			And in river, there is no effort. So a person can invest their money, and it'll keep growing and
growing. And they don't have to take care of it, they don't have to put any work into having that
money grow. When a person is doing a business, then he has to manage the accounts. And he has to,
you know, put in some physical labor as well. Sometimes he has to put his talent, his skills to use,
there is some kind of effort involved. Even if he's just the owner, still, he has to go and make
sure everything is running smoothly. Somebody was telling me about this chain, this desert place
Dimitris all of you know about that famous place. So there, you know, all over the GTA. And somebody
		
00:53:09 --> 00:53:48
			was mentioning to me that the owner, he goes around visiting different different stores all over the
GTA throughout the day or throughout the week, why to make sure that the business is running
properly. I mean, he doesn't have to manage it himself. But still, he's invested his money into it,
and he has to go and make sure things are running smoothly. But when it comes to investing your
money in a bank, or lending it to someone, then you don't have to worry about anything, all you have
to do is just make sure you're getting your interest every month, the stocks, it requires
intelligence. But there's also risks involved in that, which is why as long as the stocks meaning
		
00:53:48 --> 00:54:24
			what you are trading and buying and all that as long as that is permissible, then many scholars
allow it. Because you're using your skill using your talent, your mind, you're constantly checking.
And at the same time, there's a huge risk involved, which is not involved when it comes to HIPAA,
you've just kept $10,000 in the bank every month, you're getting money on top of that you've lent
$100,000 To someone every month, you're getting money on top of that. So there's no risk in that.
But in stocks, there's risk. And the next point time intelligence skills, which we just talked
about, and in Ribba only their wealth is used and it keeps growing and growing. And in compound
		
00:54:24 --> 00:54:26
			interest, there's interest upon the interest so.
		
00:54:27 --> 00:54:49
			So again, in trade, there is risk involved, you can have profit, you can have loss, and there's
sharing that interest, there is no risk. It's 100% guarantee that you'll get the interest on. In
trade. There's no fixed profit and an interest there's a fixed profit. So one year you can have more
profit one year you can have less but an interest, you have that 5% 8% And it's always guaranteed
		
00:54:50 --> 00:54:59
			for trade Once the transaction is carried out, or the profit is settled. It's a one time thing and
in interest. It's constantly a new profit yearly monthly
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:01
			A continuous profit.
		
00:55:03 --> 00:55:41
			So similarly, in trade, there is a payment and the transaction that's happening, and interest is
constant receiving a profit. So for example, when it comes to trade, you have to keep putting more
and more of your money into the business, from the profit that you obtain, you have to put some
money back into the business, to either pay for the rent or pay for the expenses or pay the
employees so on and so forth, there are expenses that you have to cover. But when it comes to
interest, there are no expenses, there is no fees, you're just eating, you're just constantly
getting also in the manner that the money is given. For trade. There's, it's halal, and it's given
		
00:55:41 --> 00:56:17
			with understanding. So you give money and you get service or you get a product and you're happy with
your transaction, but of interest the person gives as if they're being forced, and they're parting
with their money, and they think that's unfair. So even the way that they're giving, there is no
satisfaction in that. For trade. There's physical mental activity and interest, laziness, the money
just keeps growing. So there's no real involvement in that trade would create economic activity in
society. And interest would stop circulation of wealth and money is concentrated in certain parts of
society. And also in terms of socially interest and loans, especially, you'd find people who have
		
00:56:17 --> 00:56:36
			their house on mortgage, their furniture also on loan their car. So a prison would live in like an
alternate reality where they can't afford, but also they're living as if they can afford but they
can't. And everything that they own, is actually on a loan. And it's even worse for them. Because
although they can't afford this specific thing, but more than that they're paying more interest on.
		
00:56:37 --> 00:57:17
			The thing with interest is that you, for example, with a credit card, a person manages to buy what
he wants immediately, or with a haram loan, he's able to get what he wants, immediately, it helps
you fulfill your desires immediately. But in the long run, you're paying more for the things that
you want. Something could be $200, but you don't want to pay with cash you pay with your credit
card, by the end of the month, your bill comes, you don't pay the $200 You pay only $100. But then
the interest, you know, comes in after some time, and then instead of paying $200 for that object,
you end up paying $250 $220.
		
00:57:19 --> 00:57:28
			So in the long run, you're paying more for the stuff, things are more expensive for you. But Japan
makes you look at the immediate benefit.
		
00:57:29 --> 00:57:39
			And bear would also create job opportunities, a lot of employment for people and interests would
make a lot of people jobless and basically concentrates the wealth in a couple of people's hands.
		
00:57:43 --> 00:58:29
			So there's a huge difference between trade and river. And this is the reason why Allah has allowed
one and he has forbidden the other. And Allah says that whoever receives the admonition then what
should he do? Stop dealing with Aruba immediately, from Abuja home over to Mirabai Fanta ha and if
he stops, then what will happen further home SLF. Whatever has happened in the past is over. A
person should expect forgiveness from Allah soprano data. He doesn't have to worry about the past
accounts. What Unruh in Allah and his affair rests with Allah woman either but whoever returns goes
back to the same ways for Allah equals her guna whom fee her Carly doon
