Danger Of Debt By Hadith

Many Muslims underestimate the debt. They are comfortable with their debt and "wrapped around" him. Honestly, some people life  can't released from debt. Before the first loan is paid off, then they wants to borrow again for the second, third and so on.

If this is allowed, then will be protracted and would be "transmitted" to other people in the vicinity. Moreover, with the number of facilities to debt provided by the institutions, bodies or companies embracing system of usury. And worse, not only lay people involved with things like this, people who have long chant, wise men and rich people also "participated". Na'uudzu billaahi dzaalika min dzalik.

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam very scared and very frightened owe if it becomes habit. Why is that?

It was narrated from 'A'ishah radhiyallaahu' anhaa, that he preached, "Then the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam often prayed in his prayer:

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من عذاب القبر وأعوذ بك من فتنة المسيح الدجال وأعوذ بك من فتنة المحيا وفتنة الممات, اللهم إني أعوذ بك من المأثم والمغرم

"Dear Allah! Indeed, I seek refuge in you from the punishment of the grave, of slander Al-Masiih Ad-Dajjaal and from libel and slander life death. Dear Allah! Indeed, I seek refuge in you from the things that cause sin and of debt "

Someone said to him:

ما أكثر ما تستعيذ من المغرم?

"How often you seek refuge from debt?"

Rasulullah replied:

إن الرجل إذا غرم, حدث فكذب ووعد فأخلف

"Surely someone (regular) owe, if he speaks he lies, when he promises he would deny it" (Reported by al-Bukhaari no. 832 and Muslim no. 1325/589)

It should be understood that the debt is not a sin, as already mentioned. However, someone who is used in debt could have been delivered to the deeds forbidden by Allah wa Subhaanahu Ta'aala. In the above hadith mentioned two sin as a result of customs debt, namely: lying and do wrong to his promise. Both are great sin, isn't it?
