We are often told that Islam forbids bank interest because it is the same as riba (usury) prohibited in the Qur'an. But do Islamic scholars actually agree on a definition of riba? And how does this concept apply to tuition fee loans in UK higher education?
If you are a parent of a young Muslim looking to study at university or if you are a student who has applied to university and feel conflicted that taking out a student loan means you are doing something against your faith, then this resource is for you.
You can download, for free, a resource document that explains riba (usury) in the Qur'an and also explains how student loans work in the UK. The document includes other resources for you to explore. Just Sign Up and download!
You can also check out my YouTube video on this topic where I delve into the prohibition of riba in more detail
