Show Notes
In this episode, we define Riba, clarifying that it goes beyond simple interest or usury to encompass a broader system of unjust gain. We explore the severe condemnation of riba in the Qur’an and Hadith, highlighting why it is considered a major moral and spiritual violation in Islam. The discussion then outlines the wisdom behind its prohibition, examining its damaging social, economic, and spiritual effects. Finally, the episode begins to connect these harms to the role of riba within modern fiat money systems, setting the stage for a deeper exploration in future episodes.
