Preface

Islam has ordered some things and refrained from others . The basis of this has some purpose and Islamic laws are not imposed without any reason . For example , foods and drinks , the lawful relations and other things , all have some benefit or harm hidden in them . Whether the laws about these are made or not , there is no difference of their effects . If you ponder on the things , which are forbidden , you will come to know that the things , which are intoxicating like alcohol etc , are themselves harmful . Interest is just acquiring wealth of the people and
