Q: Riba is a very common and 'mundane' sin now but carries major consequences in both this life and the Hereafter. Despite this, it is undoubtedly enticing for young people who want to make strides in their dunya goals (buying a house, etc.) to engage in. Why is riba so bad?

What's the actual issue with it?
And why do you think it has slowly become normalised in our community?
A: I will preface this by reminding us that earning money and establishing yourself is something that should be encouraged within Islam.

In his podcast with @muslimmoneyexp, Mufti Menk @muftimenk outlines a powerful alternative to Riba (interest).
Linking loans to gold to ensure that the lender doesn't lose out due to inflation. Here's why that's a great idea. 𧡠π 1/8

The current major problem with interest-free loans is that the original money loaned out loses value over time. Especially in high inflation environments such as Zimbabwe or Turkey. π 2/8
Mufti described an example scenario where someone makes a loan of 5m with an equivalent value of $500 usd. Within a week under high-inflation that 5m could be worth $250.
This destroys the incentive to give interest-free loans which is disastrous for society. 3/8

The Glazers' takeover of Manchester United is a prime example of the evils of interest (Riba) in modern finance.
Here's a short thread on how it damaged the club and why Sheikh Jassim must be the new owner. 1/5 #MUFC #GlazersOut #IslamicFinance

The interest-based debt from the takeover saddled #MUFC with massive financial burdens.
To date ~ $1bn has been used for interest payments leading to reduced investment in the club and limited success on the pitch. This perfectly illustrates the negative impact of Riba. π2/5

In Islam, interest (Riba) is strictly forbidden π« due to its exploitative nature.
Instead of relying on debt, the Glazers should have paid with cash or used equity-based financing, ensuring a sustainable future for the club. 3/5

WAQF NETWORK: Important Threadπ§΅
1. Imagine the impact of a network of a thousand mosques, each of which had one million rupees in assets under management, giving a combined market value of billion rupees!

2. Further, the funds are not owned by shareholders and there is no pressing need to maximise profits for shareholders, rather the funds are in the perpetual ownership of Allah and the strategy for the funds is to maximise welfare, equitable distribution,resourcing the community,
3. β¦and the sustainable development of everyone. Imagine how this can support spiritual upliftment, social mobility, economic growth, small-to-medium enterprises, mosque infrastructure and facilities, education, healthcare, welfare, and better faith representation.

terus memperkatakan isu ini semoga terus diberi pencerahan insya-Allah. Izinkan saya berkongsi sedikit tulisan saya dan rakan-rakan dalam isu ini. Dipetik dari Bab 6: The Integrity of Islamic Finance

I had asked @EthzemaLeader the following question after his controversial/deliberate remark against #IslamicBanking/#InterestFreeBanking (as it is called here in #Ethiopia). I have today watched another video of him where he tried to "Clarify" but continued to insult us more.

First of all, he has tried to defend that he is not an #islamophobe by bringing #Muslim audience & that his grandmother was a Muslim. This is the same reply many persons give when they are confronted with their #Islamophobic attitude. #BerhanuNega is no different.

You can have #Muslim parents, lived with #Muslims fasted #Ramadan, eaten #Dates or #Sambusa etc you can still be an #islamophobe. One can claim to be a Muslim but in reality be the most #Islamophobic person that hates #Muslims and #Islam. It is a lame excuse!

Yesterday, we have witnessed the handing over of the 1st operational licence to the first full-fledged #InterestFree Bank #ZamZamBank which is a historic milestone in the #Ethiopia'n Banking industry. #IslamicBanking #IFB #FinancialInclusion

After the promoters of #ZamZam initiated the idea to the #NBE a directive was issued in October 1, 2011 to allow conventional banks only to give the service along with their commercial services. The #NBE's decision has saddened many. 2/n

11 Banks has so far started the service in a window model. Currently, these banks combined has mobilized more than 60 Billion Birr in deposits through 5+ million accounts. It is a huge amount compared to the low attention & investment given to #IFB by all stakeholders. 3/n
Pleasure to Chair this distinguished panel of speakers at #GIFS2020: Former Governor @StateBank_Pak @1sakhtar; Mr. Abbasi, SBP; CEO @faysalbank; CEO @habib_metro; CEO @DibPakistan.

Had excellent discussion on #IslamicFinance issues in π΅π°. Thanks @ArifAlvi President for coming.
Excellent recommendations for #IslamicFinance to become relevant and agile. Setting up National Committee for Islamic finance comprising various members from industry @StateBank_Pak @SECPakistan and banks, academia and professionals for setting "Top-down* approach.
This National Committee similar to Indonesia @kneks_id for setting strategic direction and bringing all stakeholders together and measuring progress on Islamic finance. I emphasised on this and panel supported. There is good progress but need support from govt.
We are #pleased to #conclude our marathon of 4 consecutive #IMF #TechnicalAssistance #missions with productive outcomes for #IslamicFinance, despite the very challenging constraints and limitations.
The first six months of the year under #COVID19, a #NewNormal", have been fantastic intellectually and fulfilling.
#NewNormal" continues. After #CentralBank of #Yemen and #Iraq, we are having mission with #CentralBank of #Libya. Concluded a very productive #meeting with colleagues from #CentralBank and #IMF for a #Islamicfinance IMF mission through #Cisco #webmex. #riskmanagement #Libya
Other than #Sudan and #Iran, #Libya is going to be #third #country in the world to have full-fledged #Islamicfinance system after #transition is completed. It requires a significant progress on Islamic finance #regulation and #supervision, which is #underway.
Happy to be part of last three years engagement, through IMF, with them on various topics. Many thanks to my good friends supervisors Haithem Elyacoubi, anwar tantoush, Hatem Salem, Abdulhamid, Dr. Mukhtar for excellent discussion. I hope this will be a very good #IMF mission.
Have you ever been in a sandstorm?
I was once caught in a sandstorm in the heart of Cairo. We were on a balcony in my friendβs apartment overlooking Tahrir Square, when suddenly in the distance a red puff of smoke appeared...

It began to get larger and larger and before we knew it, we were desperately holding the balcony doors closed as the sandstorm hit with magnitude.
Once closed we stayed down on the floor until some kind of normalcy had returned. Outside, the sky was orange and all around us..

a thin layer of red dust remained. It was everywhere, on the bedcovers, on the kitchen cabinets, the lamps and stairs all over the apartment building.

OK, following on from my earlier thread on Murabaha, and how it breaks Shariah laws, and the realisation that scholars and academics and professors actually do not seem to know what market practice is, I decided to write a thread about it.
I will try to explain how and why such
I will try to explain how and why such
practice, even though it is absolutely against AAOIFI Shariah standards, can be approved by reputable scholars.
And then I will illustrate what scholars SHOULD be asking in order to get to the truth of things.
Here, I will talk about a standard commodity Murabaha (CM)
