وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَنا حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَوَضَـ كرها. Allah says:. And We have enjoined on man to be good to his parents. . His mother bears him with pain and brings him forth with pain. (46:16). DO NOT DEVOUR INTEREST الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَوْا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسَ ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبوا وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبوا فَمَن جَاءَ هُم مَوْعِظَةٌ مِن رَّبِّهِ فَانتَهَى فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأَوَلَتَبِكَ أَصْحَبُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ - يَمْحَقُ الله الرّبوا وَيُربى الصَّدَقَتِ. Those who devour interest stand like one whom Satan has smitten with insanity. That is because they say, "Trade also is like interest'; whereas Allah has made trade lawful and made interest unlawful. So he who desists because of the admonition that has come to him from his. Lord, may retain what he has received in the past; and his affair is with Allah. And those who revert to it, they are the inmates of the Fire; therein shall they abide. Allah will abolish interest and will cause charity to increase. (2:276,277) 101
