The site is to promote Islamic Poetry
But what a pity!
Where is the responsibility?
A person promoting a loan – a liability!

0.3% interest rate
O! Muslim awake! Awake!
Know what’s your fate
For that rate – you are heading straight to hell’s gate.

Allah has decreed*
But not for greed
As riba is not part of our creed
Say you agreed!

She said “An affordable loan”
But later you will groan
And definitely she will frown
When the first installment is thrown

Oh! Latifah Omar a nice name for a lady
I pray for you to be ready
Get an income permissible and steady
Are you that needy?

Rasulullah has uttered
Riba is thirty-six fornification greater**
Is riba money the only matter?
Isn’t bayt (trade) much better?

O! Muslim what a state we are in!
When all things leading to sin
We do without a cringe
Is this to be the scheme of things?



*Al-Quran 2:275 Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest and Al-Quran 3:130 O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful

** The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “ if a man eats one Dirham of interest knowingly then this is worse than committing adultery thirty six times ” narrated Ahmad
