3.   Song and amusement grow hypocrisy in the heart as water grows greenery, I swear by the One in Whose Power is my life, indeed, the Quran and the remembrance of Allah make faith grow in the heart as water grows green grass. (Masnad-ul-Firdaus, vol. 2, p. 101, Hadith 4204)

May Allah Almighty grant us Taufeeq to protect ourselves from the evil of songs and music and enable us to only listen to Na’t and the recitation of the Holy Quran, Sunnah-inspiring speeches, Madani Muzakarahs and the faith-refreshing programs of Madani Channel.

اٰمِيۡن بِجَاهِ النَّبِيِّ الۡاَمِيۡن صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم 

Third evil of Yazeed - interest

O devotees of the Companions and Ahl-ul-Bait One of the great absurdities of the impure Yazeed was to promote the major sin of interest, whereas, interest is absolutely Haraam and an act leading to Hell. The one who rejects it being Haraam, is a disbeliever and the one who is indulged in this illness while knowing that it is Haraam, is a transgressor and his testimony is unacceptable. Unfortunately, this evil is also spreading rapidly in our society.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                            صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O devotees of the Companions and Ahl-ul-Bait! Remember that cure is only attained after taking medicine, whereas we want to avoid medicine and still gain cure. We all agree that it is necessary to eradicate interest and other evils from our society for economic prosperity, but remember, a society is made up of individuals. As long as the people do not make efforts to reform themselves, how will reformation of the entire society take place? Let’s listen to some narrations in condemnation of interest:

1.   The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: (The sin of) interest has seventy parts, amongst them the lowest level is that a person commits adultery with his mother. (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 3, p. 72, Hadith 2274)
