Islam's ban on interest is sometimes seen as outdated and inapplicable in the modern world. Why Islam Forbids Interest shows how interest is responsible for some of the most urgent problems of the modern world, protecting and enormously increasing the wealth of bankers and billionaires at the expensive of the economies they prey upon.
