"Are you at WAR with Allaah and His Messenger (s.a.w) ?" by Asma bint Shameem
O my Muslim Brothers and Sisters, Allaah, the Lord of the Worlds, is talking....talking to you and me, His slaves....ordering us that RIBAA (interest) is Haraam.
"O you who believe! Fear Allaah and give up what is still due to you from Ribaa if you are (truly) believers." (al-Baqarah:278)
And then He WARNS us:
"And if you do not do it, then take a notice of WAR from Allaah and His Messenger." [al-Baqarah:279]
Did we read the Ayah carefully?? Maybe, we should read it again.
What does it say??
It says that if we do not give up ribaa (usury), then we should take a notice of war from Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم)
AT WAR?!! With WHOM?? With ALLAAH and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم) !!??
Subhaan Allaah!!
In the Qur'aan, Allaah does not declare war on anyone except the people who deal in ribaa.
Do we even know what it means to be at war with Allaah and His Messenger (صل اللہ عليه و سلم)??
Do we even understand??
