OUR RIBA -INFESTED LIFE
Assalaamualaikum Dear Brothers & Sisters,
please watch this & listen because it's about us.
" Riba -Interest will enter every household , so no one will be untainted by 'it' "' this prediction was said by The Prophet sallahu alaihi wassalam .
'Taint' means to scratch . So, Allah - through the Prophet-is saying that it will very difficult to find anyone

'Taint' means to scratch . So, Allah - through the Prophet-is saying that it will very difficult to find anyone
(like today ) who is not involved in some form of riba or another eg in purchasing a car
When skin is scratched with a rusty nail for example- and not cleaned, bacteria enters the blood through the 'taint' , the 'cut'. At the start, this cut looks small and innocent.
But then it turns to gangrene if left untreated.Gangrene eats the part of the wound off, the infected leg or hand begins to rot and fester, it turns black, it smells as bacteria eats it, blood poisoning sets in as bacteria eat the flesh, and the blood is infected to the point where the person dies.
What about driving a riba car to the mosque, and living under the roof of a riba based house ? Tainted salah. A tainted heart and infected body doing salah. That's why it is difficult to cry or even have khush-u in salah today. Our bodies are infected with this taint- this cut- its on our fingers when we earn and give to that interest to the bank.
So it cuts our fingers. Then we sit in our riba based car- and its on our feet when we press the pedals. And again when we walk into our riba house, in our eyes when we watch shows on our oversized t.v. and so on.. so now even the furniture and your phone can be bought through riba.
So, what is the logic behind making riba haram ?
Without riba - you wouldnt be able to run your house.
Which would force you to stop work, and look towards doing or being involved in business. Now, you can do business part-time while working full-time. When your business grows- you can quit work. Doing business will force you to be more aggressive, more assertive, more honest- as people will not recommend you unless your reputation precedes you. Doing business while force you to talk to ppl you normally wouldnt ever meet- and share islam with them.
Doing business will allow you to control your hours. When you control your hours -you control yourself. Because time is the only irreplaceable commodity. You control how much Quran you read- whether you can get 'off' to go to the mosque or not.
Thats the lessons from the sahaba. They loved business and trade. But we love to work, To shave our faces like slaves and wear a uniform that covers our ankles (yeah that was coming). To be so proud to work for an international company—like ‘ I work at IBM, TOYOTA, BMW’ etc etc.. as if that has become our new identity. A drone worker for the industrial complex.
Doing business forces you to be a man, to have tawakkul in Allah, because the 1st few years—you will wonder every month—how you are going to pay the rent . But somehow- if you have faith – it all works out. We have been brainwashed into thinking about – ‘getting a good education’- to ‘ get a good job’ – when the two have no link. Earning a degree simply means you have some skills that an employer can use to make a lot of money—a percentage of which will be given to you as a ‘ salary’. Itt has nothing to do with being educated.
How many ‘educated’ muslim doctors/engineers don’t pray ? don’t know how to do wudhu ? beat their wives , have the worst manners, use foul language. Are these people educated or jahil?
How many of the ‘educated’ muslims even know the muslim months, or Muhammad’s childrens names, or the names of his wives—at least 6 of them ? How can you be a person who loves someone if you don’t even know basic facts about that person ? Its time to change our thinking – so our children wont follow in our pathetic footsteps. Its time to change the dreams n ambitions of our children- to guide them. Instead when little Ahmad says- ‘ I wanna be a firefighter’- why not guide him to be an inventor if fire fighting equipment or at least a fire prevention systems company owner. Instead of another ‘doctor’ we need muslim clinic owners who employ other doctors.
Leaders lead. Workers follow.
Muslims are leaders
