. . . transactions in which usurious intrest is involved, . . .

. . . . . You must not get anywhere close to transactions in which usurious interest [riba] is involved, for that would amount to waging war against your Lord, and would result in the removal of blessed grace [baraka] from your material resources. When you make a loan, the terms of repayment should be exactly one dinar [gold coin] for one dinar. . . . . .

Taken from “The Fortieth Discourse”, given in the year A.H.546/1152 C.E.by Sheik' Abd Al-Qadir Al-Jilani, of the book titled, “The Removal of Cares (Jala Al-Khawatir).
