YOUTH AWARENESS ABOUT USURY: ANALYSIS OF STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION UNDER ISLAMIC INJUNCTIONS

Abstract

Islam is a religion of harmony and congruity. This religion has been chosen by Allah Almighty for the betterment of humankind. Since Islam doesn't permit the usurpation of one's privileges and usury wreck the privileges of someone else as well as spreads numerous disasters in the general public. Islam has forbidden usury and it has been proclaimed hᾱrᾱm. The purpose of this exploration paper was to get some views concerning usury (Rῑbᾱ). For this reason, two universities were taken, for example, SBBWUP and the University of Gujrat, and 180 examples (surveys) were circulated among students to discover their perspectives about usury (Rῑbᾱ). Every questionnaire had personal data and 15 questions. After dispersion tests, 162 out of 180 respondents were gotten back to us. The perspectives data were shown in different measurable tables and diagrams. Most of the students said they have usury knowledge, but more information should be provided in the form of seminars, workshops, and conferences so that more information the students can get.  Teachers of the Department of Islamic studies at the Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University, Peshawar, have provided information on usury, but no formal activity took place. While regular activities in the form of seminars, workshops, and conferences saw at the University of Gujarat about usury losses. The students also said that after completing their education, they would try to get a job, but they would not give priority to a bank job, as the bank's entire system depends on usury transactions. This research work can provide a lot of information concerning its specific field for readers and researchers.
