Opis

Usury originally and simply means the practice of charging usury on loans. This practice was forcefully condemned in both Ancient and Medieval times. Indeed, the prohibitions against usury can be found in the traditions of all the major religions: Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism. Even usury is an immoral theory irrespective of castes and religions; it has become an important factor in usual economic transactions of human beings. Relevant religions in the world demand different aspects in usurious transactions and activities. Although, someone considers it as prohibited one, still it maintains as an allowed one on the other hand.
