«275. Those who swallow down usury (i.e. gets the loan interest, including the dividends) cannot arise (on the Judgement Day) except as one whom Devil has prostrated by (his) touch does rise. That is because they say, “trading is only like usury” (in other words: trading income is like the loan interest); and God has allowed trading and forbidden usury. To whomsoever then the admonition has come from his Lord, then he desists (taking up usury), he shall be pardoned for the past, and his affair is in the hands of God; and whoever returns (to it) – these are the inmates of the fire; they shall abide in it.
276. God does not bless usury, and He causes charitable deeds to prosper, and God does not love any ungrateful sinner!
277. Surely they who believe and do good deeds and establish regular prayers and regular charity they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve.
278. O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) God and relinquish what remains (due) from usury, if you are believers.
279. But if you do (it) not, then be apprised of war from God and His Messenger; and if you repent [and turn back (to the Life and God’s precepts)], then you shall have your capital; neither shall you make (the debtor) suffer loss, nor shall you be made to suffer loss» (Koran, Sura 2, based on Shakir and Yusufali translations).
And this is not the only caution against usury in any of its forms, which is given in Koran.
However, there is no compulsion in religion. And every man after getting acquainted with the biblical doctrine and the Koranic opinion on it has an opportunity to decide by himself:
Either the biblical doctrine of enslaving everybody and destroying those, who disagree with it, is from God;
Or God prohibited usury and ordered to resist actively the spread of biblical slavery. (And the question of using weapons against the spreaders, if they don’t heed wise and reasonable words, is a question specified by certain historical and cultural circumstances).
As it is told in Koran about enemies of Islam (the meaning of the word “Islam” can be interpreted in the best way by words “God’s Realm at the Earth”, i.e. it’s told not about enemies of the historically formed Muslim ceremonials, but about the qualitatively different things – much more important!):
« And most of them do not follow (anything) but conjecture; surely conjecture will not avail aught against the truth; surely God is cognizant of what they do! (Sura 10:36).
God has written down: I will most certainly prevail, I and My messengers; surely God is Strong, Mighty! (Sura 58:21) ».
4. Why are hierarchs of churches against the Rightness-Truth?
The main cause of why Judaism is rejecting Koran being a record of the Afflatus from Above and Muhammad being a messenger of the Lord is that Koran is blaming the biblical doctrine of enslaving the mankind for being satanism. Meanwhile there are no theological dogmatic discords between Judaism and Islam: in both teachings there is the Only God, He is a Creator and the Almighty. And He is the same God of Abraham-Ibrahim.
However the historically formed Islam hasn’t developed its own sociological doctrine of the level of global importance (alternative to the biblical one[36]) during more than 1300 years after its appearance. Thus it constantly demonstrates its feebleness and is a pitiful sight in aspect of the global policy. And it is easily provoked to different hysterics and even to terrorism! The idea about that all other nations, for which Arabian is a foreign language, followed Islam in its traditional ritualistic forms is contrary to the Koranic Afflatus; and that was noted from Above. That’s why it cannot be realized with God’s assistance. In other words one cannot unify the mankind on the basis of spreading the historically formed Islam as rituals hold in Arabian language alien for non-Arabs. Moreover one cannot reach it with violence and threatening. So, it’s vitally important that the world of traditionalistic and extremist ritualistic Islam understood it as quickly as possible.
But today (as one can judge from mass-media and Muslim theological works) the Islamic world doesn’t understand the algorithms of its conflicts with the West, and the West doesn’t understand it as well (may be except for its “world backstage”).
Discords between Islam and Christian churches are beyond sociological doctrines, since neither side has its own sociological doctrine[37]:
Zealous Christians either work for spread of the biblical project and thus grow the Evil, or “do not resist the one who is evil”[38].
Muslims-traditionalists live mostly with everyday needs and don’t have a political will neither for spreading Good, not for resisting to Evil.
Muslims-extremists are mostly possessed or zombies. Though they are the minority of world Muslims, but their actions are over-stressed by the world media and since are the most noticeable. However they also work for the biblical doctrine and do their part of the work. They create negative meaning about Islam and Koran outside the Muslim world. Thus their activity is directed right against the Koranic Islam. And are successful in their deeds as it can be understood from the publications cited in the current note and by general state of mass media of many countries for many years.
This ignorance and indifference of the most part of traditionally Muslim and traditionally Christian people in Russia to sociological doctrines formed on the unity of lifestyle. And in the past, it was the basis for peaceful co-existence and collaboration of Muslims and Christians in Russia.
The discords between Islam and Christian churches have purely theological-dogmatic character. That’s why their truthful solution means primarily an alive belief to God, and God’s participation in solving the discords, and living in good conscience. (Moreover both sides mostly agree that God talks to people through their conscience).
Islam on the basis of Koran strongly objects to the verity of dogma of Trinity and considers it to be a kind of polytheism. But it regards Christ as one of the messengers of the Almighty and esteems him as a prophet.
The historically formed Christianity cannot essentially object to Islam in theological questions:
There is no text of the “Good Message[39] of Jesus Christ to all people” in which Christ’s teaching was written down in clear and understandable form. There are four Gospels in the New Testament, which are brief biographical notes about Christ’s life and deeds among people. They contain only fragmentary parts of his teaching, since one could not avoid telling about what he had taught when talking of his life. If to collect these fragments all together one can see the text, which is agree with Koran if to read directly[40], but quite different to teaching of Churches in a name of Christ and the biblical doctrine of enslaving the mankind.
The Creed of Christian churches (The Nicene Creed)[41] is the creation of founding fathers of churches and of their supervisors from the “world backstage” of those years. There is no word by Christ and about his ideas in it!
Christ has never told any similar to the dogma of Trinity. And as one can understand it from the New Testament, Christ and Jews contemporary to him had no discords on the dogma of monotheism, common for Judaism and Islam. The dogma of Trinity doesn’t follows from the New Testament texts. And moreover, there are reasons to think that those texts were “censored and edited” before becoming the canonical texts of the New Testament, so that one could explain the Trinity as given in the New Testament in allegorical metaphorical form. And it took founding fathers of churches and their supervisors near 300 years to take and “edit” the original texts and formulating the dogma of Trinity[42].
