Tarek El Diwany: “Islam is the last organised religion to maintain its usury prohibition and we should therefore see ourselves as keepers of a flame.”
Jct: Thomas 95: Jesus said: If you have money, do not lend it out at interest (same as Mohammed). Nehemiah said: Let the exacting of interest stop. Even Hinduism and Buddhism decry loansharking. So it’s not that our usury prohibitions have not been maintained, it’s that our usury prohibitions have not been obeyed.
