“Babil tarihinde, borçlunun yüksek faizi ödeyebilmek için karısını, çocuklarını, hatta kendisini garanti olarak verebilmesi; hükümdarların zâlim uygulamaları (Nemrut’un kendi çıkarı için doğan tüm erkek bebeklerin öldürülmesini emretmesi gibi), Antik Babil’de sosyal ve ekonomik yaşama hükmeden “ana tanrıça/tabiat ana” nın temsil ettiği düzenin bazı neticeleridir. Antik Babil paganizmi, faizle borç verme konusunda da olmak üzere, bireysel çıkarların azamîleştirilmesinde sınırlamaya hiçbir sebep kabul etmeyen Naturalist felsefenin ürünüdür.
Ancak, İsa Peygamber’in dinine göre “açgözlülük putperestlikle özdeştir”. Risale-i Nur’da: “İstirahatim için zahmet çek; sen çalış, ben yiyeyim” içtimaî hayatın intizamını bozan ribanın manasıdır; ve esbaba tesir veren felsefenin birey için kaidesi “uluhiyet iddia etmektir” ve tabiatın icad kudretine sahip olduğunu varsaymaktadır.
Throughout Babylonian history, usury-high interest rates for which the borrower could give his wife and children, even himself for guarantee of debt; brutal practices of leaders (such as Nimrod ordering all born baby boys be killed for his own benefit) were some of the consequences of the order represented by “mother goddess/mother nature” ruled over social and economic lives in Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylonian paganism is a product of Naturalist philosophy that considers no reason to limit the individual to maximize self-interest, in the matter of lending money at interest as well.
However, from the religion of Prophet Jesus: “Covetousness is identical as idolatry”. From the Collection of Risale-i Nur: “You suffer hardship so that I can live in ease; you work so that I can eat” is the usury’s (riba) meaning, destroying the public order; and the principle for the individual of the philosophy which attributes effects to causes is “to claim godhead” and it assumes nature having the power to create.
