A Step Closer To HellFire!

It’s the glorious month of Ramazan and the religious fervor is at zenith among the muslims. Amidst all the religious festivities where companies should give some thought to issues other than profit optimization, HBL have misguided people through advertisement for which I don’t want to single them out since all the players in the banking industry are doing likewise. More focused on low-revenue accounts is the game plan for the banks to bolster their Asset bases and battle the rising liability situations.

HBL Value Account is under the spotlight people! The paradox of the situation here is that Banks are using different terminologies when they talk about INTEREST. Terms such as Mark-Up, Profit (munaa’fa) and Account benefits are openly used which the people aren’t aware about unfortunately and those unaware people are the target market for HBL Value Account. Banks such as HBL aren’t educating the people with the core offerings of the service; they are feeding a sugar coated poison capsule to the people who make them sink deeper and deeper in the abyss of deceit and treachery of the banks. They will never realize that it’s the Interest (Sood) that they are getting which is prohibited by our great religion Islam.

We need to be enlightened more about what we are sent for then to fall for trickery of satan.

Jazak Allah Khairan!

Kisi Khaaki Par Na Kar Khaak Apni Zindagani ko,
Jawani Kar Fida Us Par Jis Ne Di Jawani Ko!

Jab Dil Hee Laga Bethay Har Naaz Uthana Hoga,
Sau Baar WALIDAIN Roothay Sau Baar Manana Hoga!

Pehlay Tujh Ko Bachpan Nay Barsoon Khilaya,
Jawani Nay Phir Tujh Ko Majoon Banaya,
Burhaapay Nay Phir Aa Kay Kya Kya Sataya,
Ajal Tera Kar Day Gee Bilqul Safaya!

    They have been up to these things such as ‘mudaarbah’, ‘musharkah’ , ‘rent for buying you some property’ and God knows what. . . but the real pain here is felt when people actually are deceived by these terms and argue in favour of such banks while thinking that some pious deed is being performed.

    So . . . the moral of the story is that a stubborn shall remain a stubborn, a practical example is of the high scale resistence of day light up to this day

    I meant day light saving not day light :)

    What about the deceit where people happily go working in Banks claiming their income is as pure as everyone else’s?

    A person working in a bank is no more different then a bartender in a bar in terms of the money he/she earns.

    There is purposeful ignorance on the other hand also lack of knowledge throughout all quarters of our society, that’s what makes us Pakistani’s :p

    @ Faiz: Brother I couldn’t agree with you more. Before writing the post I wanted to reflect on the aspect that you highlighted but it would’ve given a whole new dimension to the post.

    Its high time that we should know whats right or and whats not. To sum it all up

    “Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 3327 Narrated byAbdullah ibn Mas’ud The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) cursed the one who accepted usury, the one who paid it, the witness to it, and the one who recorded it. “
