Riba is an Arabic term that is often translated as “usury” or “interest.” In Islamic finance and jurisprudence, Riba refers to the prohibition of charging or paying interest on loans, as it is considered unethical and exploitative. The concept of Riba is rooted in Islamic law, or Sharia, and is derived from the Quran and Hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad).
The prohibition of Riba is based on several Quranic verses and Hadith that emphasize the importance of fairness, justice, and avoiding exploitation in financial transactions. Some of the key Quranic verses related to Riba include:
