I have good news for our Malaysian Ministry of Health and filthy rich Malaysian doctors and physicians in the country, a little study conducted by Americans (refer to the above video) recently revealed that high gas prices or fuel price hikes can indeed pump up blood pressures!
No wonder some Malaysians went berserk on the streets in the recent fuel price hike protests! :-)
Stop protesting and starts saving money, my fellow Malaysians. If you cannot really afford to live in a big house, sell it off. If you cannot really afford to drive and maintain your car, sell it off. If you cannot afford to pay for your Astro, terminate it instantly. If you cannot afford to pay for your internet access, terminate it instantly. It is high time that you stop showing off your success and worldly items to friends and families and start saving money.
We all know the truth deep inside. You don’t have money, you only have huge amount of debts!
Do you want to die with lots of debts around you, giving more unwanted pain and sufferings to your offspring? They will curse you from Heaven to Hell when you are already six feet under! You will have no peace at all! :-)
Besides, life won’t get any better even if PAKATAN RAKYAT, PAKATAN SATAN or PAKATAN FREEMASON takes over from the present government. Malaysia is not a stand-alone country; Malaysia has to operate according to rules and regulations given by their masters, specializing in the art of capitalism, squeezing every single cent of money from ignorant people like you!
Please change your lifestyles, enough said!
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the World; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
al-Razi and other Muslim scholars state five reasons for forbidding Riba.
First, in Riba transactions a person takes the money of another without compensation because the person who sells a Dirham instead of two Dirhams in cash or after a while gets an increase in his money without giving something for it. It is known that money is the key to getting what we need. So, it has to be protected. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said: "The inviolability of the money of the person is similar to the inviolability of his blood" . So, taking his money without compensation is forbidden.
Second, some scholars state that Allah forbade Riba as it discourages people from working. In fact, when the money owner could get profit and interest through Riba transactions without having to work, he becomes lazy and prefers Riba to investing in trade and factories and this in turn leads to joblessness among the people. Indeed, the public interest is in trade, crafts, factories and building.
Third, Riba causes severing relations among people as it takes the place of good loans which promote kindness and courtesy among people.
Fourth, most of the time it is the rich person who gives the Riba loan to the poor person, hence putting yet another burden on the latter. So, encouraging Riba means giving more power to the rich over the poor who in addition will have to pay more than what he took and this is contradictory to mercy and benevolence and Allah is the most Merciful, the most Benevolent.
Fifth, Riba is forbidden by evidence from the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah and we are not asked to know its wisdom. We are only required to approve that Riba is forbidden and act accordingly.
Allah knows best.
