Memahami Riba: Definisi, Tujuan dan Penyebab

Abstract

Sharia banking is now a widely known word for both Muslims and non-Muslims in the world. Islamic banking strives to provide the best service to customers without usury "interest" which is forbidden by Allah and is clearly written in the Qur'an and hadith. But even though it has been clearly explained that usury is a prohibited activity, in fact there are still many debates about usury. Therefore, this paper aims to re-examine the issue of usury from an Islamic perspective.
