At Humanity Without Borders, we understand the challenge of navigating interest (Riba) in today’s financial systems.
As Islam forbids the use, payment, or receipt of Riba, we provide a solution to help you cleanse your wealth by donating any accrued interest money to those in need.
Your donation will be directed to permissible charitable causes, ensuring no personal benefit is derived from the funds.
Qur’an | 2:278
Riba, or interest, refers to any unjust or exploitative gain in financial transactions.
Bank accounts: Accumulated interest on savings accounts or ISAs.
Loans: Interest charged on borrowed money or goods.
Mortgages: Payments above the borrowed amount.
Credit cards: Interest added to unpaid balances.
Riba and Interest is considered a form of exploitation, benefiting the wealthy while burdening those in poverty. It contradicts Islam’s emphasis on fairness, charity, and justice.
The Qur’an and Hadith repeatedly warn against engaging in Riba:
“Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest.”
Qur’an | 2:275
Riba and Interest is not only a financial injustice but also a spiritual harm, placing individuals at risk of Allah’s displeasure.
If you have accrued Riba and Interest, it is essential to separate it from your halal income and donate it to permissible causes. This act does not carry the reward of Sadaqah but is a step toward purifying your wealth.
At Humanity Without Borders, we ensure Riba donations are handled responsibly, focusing on projects that benefit people in need without religious or spiritual implications.
Examples include
- Covering operational costs & supporting general humanitarian relief efforts.
Donating Riba reflects sincerity in adhering to Islamic principles. While there is no direct reward for giving interest money, Allah’s mercy and forgiveness are vast.
“Our Lord! Accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the Hearing, the Knowing.”
Qur’an | 2:127
