DHUL KIFL AND RIBA
Allah the Most High, sent to
Banu Israil a Prophet named Dhul Kifl. He is known to them as Ezekiel. He also
taught them a moral code which equated abstinence from riba with
virtue:
If a man is virtuous, if he
does what is right and just. if he does not eat on the mountains (i.e. at the
heathen altars) nor raise his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, if he
does not defile his neighbor’s wife nor have relations with a woman in her
menstrual period; if he oppresses no one, gives back the pledge received for a
debt, commits no robbery; if he gives food to the hungry and clothes the naked;
if he does not tend at interest nor exact usury; if he holds off from evildoing,
judges fairly between a man and his opponent; if he lives by My statutes and is
careful jo observe My ordinances, that man is virtuous - he shall surely live says
the Lord God.
(Ezekiel;-18:5-9) 
to be continued . . . .
