The One Who Indulges in Usury is Deprived of Goodness
There are too many disadvantages of taking interest. The earnings of one who takes interest, loses ‘Barakat’ (abundance and prosperity). Whereas the earnings of hard labour have much ‘Barakat’.
The Holy Prophet (S) says in one of his traditions:
“Worship consists of seventy parts. The most important is lawful earnings.”
(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
The Prophet (S) also says:
“The truthful trader shall be counted among the prophets on the Day of Judgement. His face would glow like a full moon.”
(Muhajjatul Baidha)
