ISLAM AND THE WEST - 61

 The moral of this particular story is that even in situations where immediately getting out of all interest-based transactions is not within our ‘capacity’, it is certainly within our capacity to keep accepting that what we are doing is not right, to keep doing Istighfar (asking Allah Ta’ala for forgiveness), and to keep making Dua (prayer) to Allah Ta’ala to show us a way out of it. What people sometimes are not aware of is that insisting on a sin, in the sense of believing and claiming that it is absolutely okay to commit that act and that it is not a sin at all, makes it a much greater sin.
