Riba is the (Arabic: ربا) term for intrest, the charging of which is forbidden by the Qur'an here, among other places:

 The Prohibition Of Riba (Usury).   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Riba is also at work when wealth is sucked from the masses through deception and other forms of fraud.
A corrupted version of Islam, however, which does not recognize bank interest, for example, as riba, and which consequently does not challenge the predatory elite for its economic oppression, is warmly recognized in the media as the true version of the religion.
Our view is that the subject of the prohibition of riba constitutes a litmus test with which the true guides of mankind can be recognized, guides who truly know the Truth, and know how to guide and protect the sheep from the wolves of this age.

 RIBA-USA - Hiring an Architect in the US
In the USA, the title "Architect" may be used to describe an RIBA member who is licensed in his or her US state of current activity or, (in some states) if in partnership or association with US licensed architects, the firm that comprises such partnership or association.
Although, on their own, the letters "RIBA" are not a generally recognized description for an architect in the United States, the letters "AIA" certainly are, and there have been instances where US State Boards have prosecuted individuals for using the letters AIA while unlicensed.
The RIBA likewise advises its Honorary Fellows who are practicing or carrying on any kind of business in the UK to refrain from the use of the affix Hon.FRIBA as part of the name, style, or title under which they are practicing or carrying on that business.

 What is Riba - Introduction
The commonly held traditional view is that riba is simply interest, that is, any increase in the loan required by the lender as a condition for advancing the loan.
(For riba al-fadl, gold and silver are treated in some ahadith as the same type of commodity.) Thus if one sa‘ of dates of high quality are exchanged on the spot with two sa‘s of poor quality dates, then this is riba al-fadl and is prohibited.
This raises a distinct possibility that the concept of riba al-fadl on hand-to-hand exchanges is an error introduced into Islam after the Prophet, which in turn raises the possibility that the concept of riba itself was misunderstood by some early Muslims and their misunderstanding somehow got firmly established as a part of Islam.

Exchange of items in different categories, e.g., food for money, money for goods, etc. can be done in any quantities per the rule of supply and demand and with or without delay of one of the two sides of the transaction.
Riba may appear to be in increase and a benefit, but it will never bring any benefit and will only bring those who deal in it the wrath of Allah, a declaration of war from Him and His punishment in the hereafter.
Riba is one of the seven mubiqaat (sources of ruination) which the Prophet (sas) told us about in the hadith:

 Islamic banking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islamic banking refers to a system of banking or banking activity which is consistent with Islamic law (Sharia) principles and guided by Islamic economics.
Generally, Islamic law also prohibits trading in financial risk (which is seen as a form of gambling).
Some Muslims consider this to be the only type of loan that does not violate the prohibition on riba, since it is the one type of loan that truly does not compensate the creditor for the time value of money [2].

 DubaiBuzz Online!: Article / The Importance of the Prohibition of Riba in Islam   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
If you turn away (i.e., if you give up riba) then you shall have (i.e., you will be entitled to reclaim) only your principal sums (which you had lent on the basis of riba, i.e., you may have only the principal, not the principal plus a reasonable amount of interest, not even a service charge).
Allah's anger because of the oppression of riba is so great that the oppressors, who are already aware of their fate, will stand before Almighty Allah (SWT) after their resurrection as a people who appear to be driven to madness by the touch of Satan.
Riba poses the gravest of all dangers to which the Ummah of the Prophet (SAW) is exposed today.

The borrowers are granted loans on condition that the capital, which belongs to the depositors, is returned in full, whatever their financial circumstances, and they pay the bank a fee for making the funds available to them.
Since no riba was demanded or paid, the courier does not carry, witness or keep account of any riba.
One, riba is what is demanded and/or received by the capital-owner (who is the real lender) over and above the capital he lends; and two, the payment made by the borrower to the courier for his services is not riba.

 The Text of the Historic Judgment on Interest
According to this approach the prohibition of riba should he restricted to the limited transactions expressly mentioned in the Hadith literature and the principle cannot be extended to the modern banking system which was not even imaginable at the time of revelation of the verses.
Moreover, the literature of Hadith while explaining the word riba has mentioned in detail the transactions of riba which were used to be effected by the Arabs of Jahiliyya on the basis of which the earliest commentators of the Holy Qur'an have defined riba in clear terms.
The learned counsel while explaining the concept of riba al-fadl went so far that even interest-free loans, he claimed, are covered by the Prohibition of riba al-fadl, because according to the hadith prohibiting riba al-fadl, the exchange of the six things inter se must be on spot basis.

Later, the clerics of Jews and Christian Church abandoned the prohibition of Riba (interest, usury) that led the mankind into the economic anarchy of the present era.
The western economists have discussed the issue at large in the twentieth century and many of them are also of the view that the religious prohibition should be brought back into the conscious of the people.
As long as Riba prohibition was enforced with religious zeal, people were prosperous and the wealth distribution was not abnormal as it is today, and obviously there was not much debate on the subject but since the Riba was made legal by Judo-Christian amendments in the divine law - its destructive fallouts earthed at large.

 HazaRiba.com - Misconception about Riba
I have intensely investigated Quranic verses and Hadiths on Riba and found that the meaning and sense of both sources is the same, the most popular Hadith on Riba, i.e., hand to hand and equal for equal, had in fact helped a lot in the understanding and defining of Riba.
I said strange because when ALLAH has prohibited Riba and allowed trade then what does it mean "Riba in trade" and one should be careful in giving such title because this is a direct conflict with the verses of Quran.
Keeping the ideology of why Riba was prohibited and the definition of riba as stated in previous pages, the same reasoning and philosophy is justified on all Hadiths and Quranic verses on Riba.

Riba is prohibited in Islam as it appears explicitly in the Holy Qur’an.
The term nasi’ah means to postpone or to wait and it refers to the time period that is allowed for the borrower to repay the loan in return for the addition of the premium.
To sum up, riba al-nasi’ah and riba al-fadl are both covered by the verse, “Allah has allowed trade and prohibited riba” (2:275), while riba-al nasi’ah relates to loans and riba al-fadl relates to trade.

 Imam's Corner : Dealing with Riba is one of the Major Sins
Dealing with riba is forbidden not only in the Islamic (sharia’h) laws, but also in the previous divine legislation.
And their taking of riba (usury/interest) though they were forbidden from taking it and their devouring of men’s substance wrongfully." From the transgression, the oppression, and the corruption of the Jews was hindering many from Allah’s Way and dealing with riba (usury/interest) while it is forbidden.
So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops dealing with riba shall not be punished for the past: his case if for Allah (to judge); but whoever returns to dealing with riba, such are the dweller of the Fire-they will abide therein.
