Three Men One Mission

Moses, Jesus and Mohammed - The three Abraham faiths' key message was to believe in one God, to do good and stay away from wrong doing.

 

Riba / Usuary / Interest

 

All three faiths have spoken against the taking of interest (Riba).

 

In the Psalms:

Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that putteth not out of his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent." [Psalms 15:1, 2, 5]

 

In the Bible:

"Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent upon usury." [Deuteronomy 23:19]

 

 

In th Quran:

"O those who believe fear Allah and give up whatever remains of riba, if you are believers." [Al-Baqarah 2:278]
