3. INTRODUCTION
• Riba or interest is forbidden in Islamic economic
jurisprudence fiqh and considered as a major sin
"Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba." (2:275)
• Riba is a prominent source of unjustified
advantage, because Shariah does not consider money as a
commodity
• The existence of interest in today’s global economic
system is an issue of great importance to Muslims. As the
world continues down the path of globalizations.
4. • As muslims, our main concern when it comes to financial
transactions is to avoid Riba in any of its forms, despite the
fact that the basic foundation of the world economics and
finance today is that of riba and dealing in usury.
• The Prophet has foretold us of a time when the spread of
riba would be so overwhelming that it would be extremely
difficult for the muslim to avoid it. This situation calls for
muslims to be extra cautious before deciding on what
money payment of financial methods to use in any personal
or business transaction.
• To make sure that we are safe from Riba, we have to learn
which transactions lead to it.
5. THE DEFINITION OF RIBA
• The literal meaning of Al-Riba as it is used in the
arabic language means to excess or increase.
• In this sense riba has the same meaning as interest in
accordance with the consensus of all jurists without any
exception.
• In the Islamic terminology interest means
effortless profit or that profit which comes free
from compensation or that extra earning obtained
that is free of exchange
6. Riba has been described as a loan
with the condition that the borrower will
return to the lender more than and better
than the quantity borrowed.
So the Holy Qur’an and the Hadith do not
make any such difference between usury and
interest. Interest and usury both are taken as
synonymous for the Arabic word riba.
8. PROHIBITION OF RIBA IN THE HOLY
QURAN
In several verses of the Holy Qur’an, Allah
s.w.t has mentioned the consequences of riba.
The Qur’an did not declare the prohibition of
riba in the early stage of revelation, rather we
find that the complete prohibition of interest
came sequentially.
In the Qur’an, the term riba signifies an
unlawful and forced addition to the payback
value of money or goods lent from one person
to another.
9. In the Qur’an Allah(swt) says:
“That which ye lay out for increase through the
property of (other) people, will have no increase
with Allah: But that which ye lay out for
charity, seeking the countenance of Allah (will
increase): it is these who will get a recompense
multiplied”. (30:39)
“That they took riba (usury), through they were
forbidden and that they devoured men’s substance
wrongfully – We have prepared for those among
men who reject faith a grievous punishment.”
(4:161)
10. PROHIBITION OF RIBA IN THE
HADITH
Jabir reported: The Prophet (saw), cursed the
receiver and the payer of interest, the one who
records it (the contract) and the two witnesses to the
transaction and said, “they are all alike (in guilt).”
Abu Hurayrah (ra) narrated that the Prophet (saw)
said: “”God would not allow four persons to enter
paradise or to taste its blessings: he who drinks
wine, he who takes riba, he who usurps an orphan’s
property without right and he who is undutiful to his
parents.”

19. RIBA
The Arabic word riba linguistically means “an addition to, or
an increase of, a thing over and above its original size or
amount.” In the Qur’an, the term riba signifies an unlawful
and forced addition to the payback value of money or goods
lent from one person to another.
PROFIT
A financial benefit that is realized when the amount of revenue
gained from a business activity exceeds the expenses, costs and
taxes needed to sustain the activity. Any profit that is
gained goes to the business's owners, who may or may not
decide to spend it on the business.
20. RIBA AND PROFIT IN ISLAMIC
PERSPECTIVE
• Islamic banking has the same purpose as
conventional banking except that it operates in
accordance with the rules of Shariah, known as
Fiqh al-Muamalat (Islamic rules on transactions).
The basic principle of Islamic banking is the
sharing of profit and loss and the prohibition of
riba (usury). Common terms used in Islamic
banking include profit sharing (Mudharabah),
safekeeping (Wadiah), joint venture
(Musharakah), cost plus (Murabahah), and
leasing (Ijarah).
