الربا
الربا حرام في نظر المؤمن و حلال في نظر الكافر سواء أكان في الشرق ام في الغرب ففي نظر المؤمن قوله تعالي الذين يأكلون الربا لا يقومون الا كمان يقوم الذي يتخبطه الشيطان من المس ذلك بانهم قالو انما البيع مثل الربوا و احل الله البيع وحرم الربوا وفي نظر الكافر حلال لانه من الامور المسلم بها بداهه فالدائن في التعامل الربوي يدعي ان استعماله في ذاته يلزم المدين ان يؤدي اليه الربا سواء أظهرت له منه صفة جلب الربح ام لم تظهر

The book does a good job explaining the demerits of the capitalist system and the communist system. Also explains how the islamic economic system lies somewhere in between these two; giving freedom to individuals for becoming wealthy people but not allowing them to hoard up wealth.
The fundamental islamic principal is : any transaction is legal if both the parties are receiving a benefit. If only one party recieves benefit, or the benefit of only one party is certain, then that transaction is Haraam.
Capitalists fundamentally believe that money inherently has a value, so even lending it to someone for some time, makes them entitled to money. That's not the case. Money only has value once its worked upon. The capitalists do this so that the wealth flow always remains from the poor to the rich.
Suppose the money lender is ready to bear losses (i.e. if the lent money, which was invested in something, doesn't reap benefits, rather there was a loss in capital, then if the money lender is ready to recieve a decreased amount proportionally as a pay-off of the loan). This makes this thing halal then, as it's not interest, rather a partnership which is considerate of both parties.
I am not an economist and I don't know the particulars of an economy. I am a layman. So an economist might find some questionable things in here.
The only reason this book is a three star for me is that the book keeps repeating itself many times. The book could be more to-the-point. The book can really be compressed eightfold. Otherwise, it's a great work and it also has a rebuttal to the popularly raised questions at the end.

مولانا مودودیؒ کی کتاب سود اپنے موضوع پر ایک بہترین تصنیف ہے۔ اس میں مولانا نے سب سے پہلے سود کو عقلی بنیاد پر انسانی تاریخ سے انسانی معاشرے کے لیے مہلک ثابت کیا ہے اور بتایا ہے کہ کس طرح سود معاشرتی اور حکومتی سطح پر عام انسانوں کو غلامی میں مبتلا کرتا ہے۔ پھر بینکنگ کی تاریخ بیان کی ہے اور بتایا ہے کہ کس طرح ساہوکاروں نے عام انسانوں کو بیوقوف بنایا ہے اور اب غریب ملکوں کو عالمی سطح پر غلام بنایا جا رہا ہے۔
اس کے بعد مولانا نے سود کی شرعی حثیت بیان کی ہے۔ سود کیا ہے اور کیا نہیں ہے کو تفصیل کے ساتھ قرآن و سنت سے واضح کیا ہے۔اس کے بعد عصر حاضر میں موجود بینکنگ کی جگہ کس طرح سے اسلامی معاشی نظام نافذ کیا جائے اس کے متعلق تجاویز دیں ہیں۔ اور یہ کتاب سود سے پاک معاشی نظام قائم کرنے میں بڑی مدد گار ثابت ہو سکتی ہے۔
Maulana Maududi's book Sood is an excellent work on its subject. In it, Maulana has, first of all, proved that Interest is fatal to human society from human history on a rational basis and has explained how Interest enslaves the common man at the social and governmental level. Then there is the history of banking and how moneylenders have fooled the common man and now poor countries are being enslaved globally.
After this Maulana has explained the legal status of Intrest. What is Intrest and what is not is explained in detail from Qur'an and Sunnah. And this book can be a great help in establishing an interest-free economy.

Islam has introduced a rather unorthodox economic system which calls for the abolishment of all riba (Arabic word for interest) based business models, shattering the very basis of all economies of the world.
The modern Muslim who happens to be born and nurtured in a system riddled with interest fails to understand how a economic model that was presented 1400 years ago in the desert planes of Arabia and perfected in the subsequent Muslim empires can be implemented in the modern era.
This book does not only go into the answers to these objections but goes on to discuss the social, moral and economical consequences of an interest based economic system.
While economists all over the world struggle to justify interest, Maulana Abul A'la Maududi presents irrefutable logic backed by Quranic verses and Hadiths to wage war against the cancerous malice of interest. For both the students and followers of Islam, this book is a must read.

Aslında kitap kendi içinde çelişiyor. Hatta, soldaki sayfada yazan ile sağdaki sayfada yazan arasında fark olduğu durumlar mevcut. Buna rağmen ben bu kitaptan çok yararlandım. Tabi ki bu, benim bilgimin az olmasının bir sonucu.
Kitaptan anladığım asıl husus faiz değil zekattır. Eğer zekatın manası ve gerekçesi, kitapta anlatıldığı gibiyse faiz müessesi ve hatta atıl yatırımlar hızla ortadan kalkacaktır.
Ben yanlış anlamadıysam, kitaba göre zekat, faize bağlı ya da hiç bir şeye bağlı olmayan menkul yatırımlar üzerinden hesaplanmalıdır. Buna göre vadeli ya da cari hesapta duran tüm menkul değerler (para ve kıymetli maden) zekata tabidir. Bununla birlikte hisse senetleri, ev, dükkan, araba, arsa gibi atıl olmayan hiçbir şey zekat hesabına katılmamalıdır. Hal böyle ise, atıl duran ya da faize bağlı yatırımlarından % 2,5'ini zekat olarak vermemek için herkes, elindeki parasının mümkün olan en çok kısmını ya harcayacak ya da verimli yatırımlara yöneltecektir.
Kitapta, tasarruf kötü gösterilmekle birlikte, verimli yatırımlar övülmektedir. Dolayısıyla servet birikimini eleştiren bir tutum takınılmış gibi görünmekteyse de servetin verimsiz yatırımlara plase edilmesinin eleştirildiğini, faize bağlı olmayan ve topluma faydalı olacak yatırımlara yönlendirmenin teşvik edildiğini kabul etmek daha doğru olacaktır.
Bu kitapta mı yoksa bir öncekinde mi okudum hatırlamıyorum, hisse senedi yatırımlarının kısa vadeli kar güdüsüyle yapılmamasının şeriata uygun olmadığı belirtilmekte, alınan hisse senediyle o şirketin ortağı olunduğu, şirketin zor duruma düşmesi durumunda şahsi menfaatlerle şirketin terk edilmesinin doğru olmayacağı savunulmaktadır.
Hal böyle ise açığa satışın hiç kabul edilebilecek bir şey olmadığı açıktır.

كتاب جيد يشرح ظاهرة الربا من مختلف جوانبها، بنظرة واقعية بعيدة كل البعد عن التعصب والمغالاة.
استطاع أبو الأعلى المودودي أن يتطرق لكل الجوانب الإيجابية منها والسلبية ويقوم بعدها بتقييم إجمالي، متبوعا باقتراح نظام مالي يعوض هذه الآفة التي ما فتئت تنخر جسد الدول ومجتمعاتها.
نظرة المدودي للموضوع نظرة مفكر إسلامي من طينة خاصة
