Islam and Debt

"The present crisis should not be examined within the relatively narrow confines of debt; rather, it is fundamentally a question of social justice, a concept that is paramount in Islam... The debt burden is increasing inequality between rich and poor countries and is tantamount to exploitation. It means that poor countries are often unable to provide the most basic services for their citizens.

The Qu’ran commands Muslims to stand firm for justice at all costs."

Ajaz Ahmed Khan and Helen Mould

"If the debtor is in difficulty, grant him time till it is easy to repay. But if you remit it by way of charity, that is the best for you, if only you knew."
