Wise & Merciful Prohibitions: The Prophet’s ﷺ Message

Islam aims to counteract all of the evils of the world. Within the message preached by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, two major prohibitions are placed on adultery and the charging of financial interest. The Qur’an contains clear instructions of, “Do not come anywhere near fornication,” and “Do not devour usury.” Sh. Mohammad Elshinway details these unique commands and explains how they lead not to restriction, but to liberation.
