Debts suck, and we all want to get out of them.  If they’re collecting interest (riba), then it’s even worse. In the Qur’aan, Allah tells us to take a declaration of war from Him, and the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam has informed us that Riba is broken into 72 degrees or divisions of how bad it is, and the lowest (or least) degree is as evil as openly having sex with your mother in front of the ka’ba for all to see.

Nasty.

Next time you feel justified about taking out a riba debt, just ask yourself, would I really shag mom in front of the ka’ba with everyone watching to get this house, or to get a medical degree (or any other degree)? Is it really that much of a necessity to get into these types of business transactions?
