The current violence and mayhem seen in South Africa is partly due to the ill effects of Riba and interest. These poor people are given unsecured loans with interest rates as high as 25% with additional charges. They end up taking multiple cash loans which they can’t pay. (MID) 1
It is clearly evident that the Government has failed in providing real socio economic justice to the poor masses in the face of massive state looting and corruption. The economic damage of such looting far outweighs this current economic damage we witness. 2
The Government of #SouthAfrica must retrospect and change its economic policy especially that of tenders for Govt work to force economic growth, employment and empowerment to the poor and unemployed masses. We cannot be dishing out tenders to friends, family and associates! 3
The rich and middle class must contribute their skills to uplifting the poor in this country if we want to remove racism. This is also a great Sunnah of Rasulullah SAW. Hampers are not enough anymore as you clearly see today! Teach a man to fish not give a man a fish! 4
As Muslims, we must begin to integrate with our local indigenous brothers if we want to truly call ourselves South African. This will also be a great part of Dawah to Islam. Remember that this was the habit of the great Sahabah RA where they integrated with local populations! 5
We continually lobby Govt on issues of crime and safety yet we never review the root causes of this crime. It’s time we contribute to the solutions of our National problems rather than complain and expect solutions overnight. Change will happen with real solutions to problems! 6
