Why are you people triggered?
If I had said he is taking interest, you wouldn't care. It is not your first time hearing that word. But the moment I said he is eating other people’s sweat, the truth hit you. That sudden defensive anger? That's the natural guilt overwhelming you. Good. That is exactly how you are supposed to feel.
Let me say it again so it sinks in: that guy is eating other people’s sweat.
We were all here when Pres. Obasanjo cried out because Nigeria ended up paying five times the actual amount of money we originally borrowed, all because of compound interest. Who do you think bears that burden? It is the ordinary citizens on the ground.
Look at the people suffering right now under digital lending apps and conventional micro-finance. Think about the small trader, the tech bro in a tight corner, or the single mother who, out of sheer desperation, takes an interest-based loan just to keep the lights on.
They are working themselves to the bone in the scorching heat, paying back two or three times what they took. Their sleepless nights, their stress, and their actual manual labor are being converted into percentages for you. It is directly from their desperation and tears that the bank slices out that ₦106k daily credit to make someone else smile on a locked app.
There is no free money anywhere in the universe. Money must circulate.
Again, it is pure, unadulterated ignorance to see Muslims in the comment section defending this nonsense at this day and age. Please, invest time in learning your religion instead of just carrying the name.
For the non-Muslims catching feelings, this should be an eye-opener for you too. Your own scriptures are explicitly against this exploitation.
Look at Ezekiel 18:13: "He lends at interest and takes profit. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he is to be put to death; his blood will be on his own head." So I ask: Why are you ignoring your own book?
In Halal wealth, the principle is absolute and grounded in two powerful legal maxims:
Gain accompanies risk — This means that you have no right to a PROFIT unless you are willing to look failure in the face and accept the possibility of a LOSS.
Revenue is tied to liability — This means that you ONLY deserve the yield of an asset if you are the one responsible for its risk, maintenance, and potential destruction.
These are the core conditions for making wealth that is pure and clean. You MUST put skin in the game. You must take on risk, or you must provide actual value through labor or assets. Anything outside of this framework is HARAM.
The modern tech world has sold you a lie with that cozy phrase: "Let your money work for you."
Little did you know that signing up for a system that guarantees ONLY profit is not business; it is financial vampirism.
There is no legitimate business on earth that experiences zero loss days. When you sit on your couch and get a fixed, guaranteed return every single day without failing, other people’s sweat is what the system uses to patch up the losing days.
So I repeat: stop eating other people's sweat. Wake up.
Allah knows best.
Hello Lola, I am a Muslim, and our spiritual tradition has a very deep approach to raising children. I want to share some tips from our scholars that will be beneficial to you regardless of your faith.
First of all, our theology teaches the concept of Fitrah. This means that every child is born with a pure heart. At six years old, she is not a criminal mastermind. She does not have a wicked soul.
If she doesn’t have all these, then what is happening? The truth is that she is just lacking impulse control and testing boundaries. By this, if you look at her as a manipulator, you will fight her. However, if you look at her as a pure soul making mistakes, you will be able to guide her.
Secondly, for every problem anyone faces today, it has been solved in history. The only problem is how to locate them.
A classical scholar named Al-Ghazali wrote about child psychology over 900 years ago in his famous book “Ihya Ulum al-Din.” In his section on disciplining children, he gave a practical rule I want you to adopt going forward.
He advised that parents should never push a child into a corner where they are forced to lie. When you ask a question you already know the answer to, her survival instinct kicks in. She cries and she lies to defend herself because she is scared of you. Stop interrogating her. Just look at her and state the fact. Say, I know you took this, and we are going to return it right now.
Again, another scholar and sociologist Ibn Khaldun addressed this exact behavior in his masterpiece titled: “Al-Muqaddimah.” He warned that when a child is raised with harsh punishment, they learn deceit, trickery, and lying to protect themselves. This is why she is covering her tracks and crying to manipulate you. The fear of a harsh reaction is making her a better liar.
Lola, do not attach a label to her. Do not ever call her a thief. If you attack her identity instead of her action, she will internalize it and grow into that dark label. Tell her the action is wrong but protect her dignity.
Make her return the item. Do not fall for the tears. Hold her hand, walk her back to wherever she took it from, and make her hand it back and apologize. The discomfort of returning a stolen item teaches a much better lesson than beating her will ever do.
Finally, I don’t know if you are a Muslim, but never underestimate the power of your own words. In our faith, we believe the prayer of a parent for a child goes straight to God without any barrier. Pray over her. Pray for her heart to be content and for her character to be straight.
Keep doing this consistently and the habit will break.
Allah knows best.
@imteasingyou@BagsApp@izs@SOLBigBrain you shouldn't be following scammers like this. Creates tokens then rugs it and deletes tweet. Some may follow him cos you do.
@Morningstar31Ab@RealQueenBee__@BBCWorld If she bothered to open the link to the news, the answer to her question is there. Asking the question based on just the headline is weird. Try to open links and get the full story. Maybe she wouldn't have asked an utterly foolish question if she read!
@repligate@AndyAyrey Opus is a good example of how the shape of the container can determine the shape of the memetic ecological niche that forms within it. 4chan's anonymous Wojak->GOATSE->Rickrolling->Shrek->... is another. What other shapes are there? Where should we be cultivating?
