Prohibition of Riba
Those who take riba (usury or interest) will not stand but as stands the one whom the demon has driven crazy by his touch. That is because they have said: Trading is but like riba. So, whoever
receives an advice from his Lord and stops, he is allowed what has passed, and his matter is up to Allah. And the ones who revert back, those are the people of Fire. There they remain forever.
Allah destroys riba and nourishes charities. And Allah does not like any sinful disbeliever.

Some Common Myths and Mis-Conceptions-1
• Any return on deposit is Riba• If return is pre-fixed, it becomes Riba• Repayment of loans in Not a serious issue. It should
be waived off (Qard e Hassan)• Trade Profit is similar to Interest on Loans / Debts• Sale Price of Cash and Credit sale Must be same• Profit margin on credit sales by banks resembles Riba• Money can be rented like other assets• Products of Islamic banking look the same as those of
conventional banking

Myths-2
• Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) himself carried out trading. Trading profits are allowed because they involve the Efforts and Risk of the trader
• Islam recognizes the concept of Time Value of Money so it allows traders to charge a different pre determined and mutually agreed price for cash and credit sales
• Therefore, when banks extend some goods to customers (and not money), they have a right to earn some profit when the customer will not pay right away

Conventional banking prices money
Islamic banking prices goods and services (assets)
