Boko Not Halal

“The black economy in Malaysia is quite significant I think,” I said to unhappy looks on the face of my audience, which matched the puzzled look on the waiter’s face when I said “Black!” in response to his question how I liked my coffee.

Risk Management, the misguided subject that perpetuates the rule of riba.

There is nothing wrong with risk management. As a concept it was promoted even by the Prophet s.a.w. when he says mafhum, “ Tie the camel first then place your trust on Allah” or tawakkal ‘alAllah. However it’s application out of context has perpetuated the rule of riba. However before we go any further let’s define riba in the most clear cut and easy to understand way. Most people understand riba as interest over a loan, which is correct. However a more exacting definition of riba is to define it within the context of injustice in the allocation of risk between two partners in a supposedly business relationship.
