DOCUMENT KEY POINTS
- the magnificent aspect of the message either to follow in its perceptible sense or to exert efforts in discovering the obscured substance a is the justice it offers equally to the follower and the pollster a the touchstone of justice is the faith and acceptance of the message in advance that is in the natural human capacity of every one
- forewords the holy qur an in my view is the simplest and the most complex manuscript at the same time simple a if one follows as it sounds or apparently understood with faith spirit and justice in its heart and mind with no need to look at further reasoning or interpretation on the other hand it is quite intricate a when some one for any purpose or reason tries to explore the subtext rationale logic wisdom or intelligence of a verse or a subject
- and if you do not do it then take a notice of war from god and his messenger but if you repent you shall have your capital su miss deal not unjustly by asking more than your capital sums and you shall not be dealt with unjustly by receiving less than your capital sums
- o ye who believe observe your duty to allah and give up what remaineth due to you from usury if ye are in truth believers
- introduction the human adventurism of exploring consecrated sources and substance is a natural and never ending course a must as well to improve the relevance of resources to the living the existence of such quest and adventuring process is a blessing of god lack of creating relevance to solve problems and issues is a worst situation for any system of belief for instance to the challenge posed by the serious issue of poverty
- predominantly every command or communique has two essentials ie a gist and a reason and same applies to the serious commands about riba in the holy quran an intellectual discourse is normally focused on reason however while understanding and explaining the above cited two verses of quran and as indicated in the prelude section this perspective is rather separated in two segments as under
- this first notion or sense thus developed in the head of an audience is really difficult to change here we are not arguing whether the prevailing sense of the message constituents is right or wrong but the influence it holds in the culture is so immense that to amend its general perception it needs an extraordinary convincing argument and that is too from a widely accepted authority
- i do have fear of allah swt in my heart and know that riba was forbidden by those commands i will not entail in the wrong of riba insha allah and rather i will leave any thing that is doubtful relating to riba since it is such an odious sin as instigating war against allah swt
- so the message within two verses exhibits an a apparent understanding that is fairly relative to old times and currently all the components of message are well known to the addressees if we substantiate and tag focal words in these verses a we do not find any uncommon phrase or word or a sense not prevalent now or then for example riba a the practicing sense was clear when it was prohibited it is clear now as well however exact delineation was neither known then nor it is today unjust a unfair undue war a very bad true believer a one who follows exactly as he understands etc
- practically it happens and since it works therefore we are sure about the existence of this invisible force and call it faith in other words it means that we accept the superiority of the signal transmitting source as more authoritative than our own built in system and submit our behavioral control to it a master slave link is thus formed a it may be referred to as a the faith connection or a the relationship of faith in its fundamental form nonetheless faith is a bit complex phenomenon
- considering the divine order promulgated in subject verses the signal analyzer in above loop may not approve the command to surrender the financial gain through riba because that equals to loosing the monetary benefit or advantage a force is required either to override this analysis ie going against the reason or to bypass the analyzer for this command ie going without any reason if the command has to be accepted and complied accordingly
- there are several verses with similar indication the highlighted portions of above selected verses are complete declarations in its meanings it is hence an absolutely recognized belief of muslims that allah swt is the only provider of sustenance rizq for all living moving creatures on earth and with the birth of a creature a its sustenance is made available
- say come i will rehearse what allah hath really prohibited you from join not anything as equal with him be good to your parents kill not your children on a plea of want we provide sustenance for you and for them come not nigh to shameful deeds
- it is we who have placed you with authority on earth and provided you therein with means for the fulfillment of your life small are the thanks that ye give we certainly acquire the message that allah swt has appointed this specially crafted creature human being as his vice on this earth and gave them authority on the means he provided how to use this authority is also guided by him through a complete code of conduct the given authority however does not look as if exclusive
- my third point is two pronged a we need to stretch our visualization as much as we can do to encompass the totality whenever we try to find out the implications of the divine edict since allah swt deals with affairs plus creatures on universal basis secondly it is more pragmatic for believers to seek advice from the divine commands to comprehend and treat issues and problems considering the source as the criterion and while doing so the humanly acquired knowledge shall be used to establish its relevance with the divine content
- on the basis of faith i can say without an iota of doubt a if the a code of conduct that is ordained for the acquisition of wealth in first tier and the delegated distribution of wealth in the second row was followed exactly as defined then the due and apportioned share of all living creatures in the divine plans would have been delivered to them all because allah swt is perfect in his plans
- if he were to implement his plans by himself and had he not entrusted the mankind for the acquisition and distribution of means then we might not be aware of the word a poverty and might not be different from angels or it would have been a different world altogether but he has made the world a place for trial
- the non existent element of the a medium of exchange in a riba transaction can not have a representation in the wealth thus no corresponding mediation of wealth is physically workable but the contract of riba imposes liability of settlement without its possibility
- although in a riba transaction one may be true and honest can disclose accurate information and incorporate transactional justice not the societal justice still one can not attain the pleasure of allah swt as he has prohibited it for its reasons and scope
- it is a proven fact and history that riba has remained a difficult subject to be understood in all ages from its literal meaning to economic implications but allah swt is perfect in knowledge and the supreme in justice therefore he categorically informed that act of charging riba is like a war with him the mankind had not comprehended the severity of the act but could involve in it therefore a warning from the god is the divine justice
- if allah were to punish men for their wrong doing he would not leave on the earth a single living creature but he gives them respite for a stated term when their term expires they would not be able to delay the punishment for a single hour just as they would not be able to anticipate it for a single hour
