We can treat people equally by recognizing their inherent worth and respecting their rights,
regardless of differences.
Nabi Hazrat Muhammad (‫ )رسول ہللا خَاتَ ُم النَّ ِب ّٖین َصلَّی ہ ُّٰللا َعلَ ْی ِہ َو َع ٰلی ا ٰل ِّٖہ َواَ ْص َحابِ ّٖہ َو َسلَّ ْم‬emphasized the sacredness of

The salient points of the last sermon include respect for life and property, prohibition of
usury, kindness towards women, equality among humans, unity among Muslims, and
following the teachings of Islam.

Analyze:
Why is usury prohibited in Islam?
Answer: Usury, or charging interest on loans, is not allowed in Islam to be fair and kind to
everyone. It can hurt people who are already struggling and make our economy unstable.
It's also not right to take advantage of others for personal gain. So, Islam teaches us to treat
everyone fairly and help those in need without expecting something in return.
