Very sad event, very sad. However, this is just a start…these cases will pick up but Allah knows best. Of course, dying by committing suicide is not a good sign of one’s ending. And, of course Allah has declared the haram action of dealing (taking, giving, assisting, being a witness) souood (interest) akin to waging a war with Him and His rasool (saw).

On top of dealing with interest-based loans, the way MCB harrassed this person is inhumane. I hope the police take account of such tactics of these banks. And, how dare these fee-collectors entered Muhammad Tufail’s house without his permission and harrassed the family?

Allah says (meaning): “O you who believe! Enter not houses other than your own, until you have asked permission and greeted those in them; that is better for you, in order that you may remember” (Surah an-Noor; ayah 27)

Also, in an authentic hadith if I remember correctly, Rasoolullah (saw) said that if a person throws a pebble at another one who’s trying to enter his house without his permission and in the process injuries the other’s eyes, there will be NO qisas on the thrower. In other words, it’s such a big sin to enter somebody’s house without permission that if one unintentionally injures another guy, who is trying to enter his house without permission, he doesn’t have to pay any penalty to the injured person…he’s not responsible. (I’ll have to look up the reference for it because I can’t recall/find it right now).

Both parties here are to be blamed, plus the government. You are right, it might be easy for us to say don’t take any interest-based loan when we have money in our pockets and don’t have to face critical situations. That’s why Rasoolullah (saw) himself used to ask refuge from the fitna of extreme poverty. But, on the other hand poverty is not an excuse to commit haram. We should pray that Allah keep us away from situations where we might even think about dealing in interest.

I ask Allah to forgive Muhammad Tufail for his sins of committing suicide and dealing with interests, and to give us hidayat to stay away from interests and to the govt. to eradicate interest-giving institutions. We seek Allah’s help.

Humary majiority tu pehlay he “bay-deen” hay. they wont understand kay yeh sub ALLAH ka azab hay

Banks like *Meezan Bank* who claim to be riba-free, charge the same amount of ‘fees’ on the money they give out as loan and they just change the name to some arabic word. Call it whatever name, the end user (borrower) ends up paying about the same money.

I’m not against riba-free. In fact I would love to bank with such an institution, but I wish the banks who claim to be interest free could practically show the people the difference between the interest-free and interest oriented banking.

If the Non-Interest banks charge 14% and the interest-Oriented bank charge 14%, then whats the difference to a consumer?

Non-interest banks do not have to be for ‘khidmat-e-khalq’ with 0.00 Rs as fees (interest or whatever you call) but then they should atleast live-upto the meanings of *interest free* banking.
