HARMS OF FÂIZ AND ISRÂF

Allâhu ta’âlâ has made fâiz harâm. At many places of the Qur’ân al-kerîm He makes vehement threats to those who take and/or pay fâiz. The two hundred and seventy-fifth âyat-i-kerîma of Baqara Sûra purports: “Those who charge fâiz will not rise from their graves except as riseth one whom the devil by his touch hath driven to madness. ...” The following âyat-i-kerîma purports: “Allâhu ta’âlâ will destroy all the property of those who pay and/or take fâiz. Not a trace of them will be left behind. He will certainly increase the property of those who pay zakât. ...” Forty kinds of fâiz, and their harms as well, are written in the book Riyâd-un-nâsikhîn. Please see the forty-fourth chapter of the fifth fascicle of Endless Bliss for detailed information on fâiz.

Harms of isrâf are as follows: People who commit isrâf, (i.e. who waste,) are likened to the devil, to Pharaoh, and to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah; Allâhu ta’âlâ loathes them and calls them ‘dissolute people’; they will suffer torment in the Hereafter; and they suffer inferiority, indigence, ruefulness in the world.
