The term "interest" refers to the "fees" or excessive payment of money on goods or loans that have been borrowed to achieve some sort of financial gain. usually a bank charges interest on credit cards and loans. This makes the borrower responsible for the payment of interest money and the actual amount of loan as well. many people erroneously believe that charging interest makes them more money. However, the fact of the matter is that interest actually destroys economy at a much larger scale according to an article published on Washington Post. I have always tried to avoid interest due to religious reasons but now I can understand the wisdom behind why my religion prohibits receiving and paying interest. The fact of the matter remains that many banks also manipulate borrowers into taking loans and they do charge a heavy interest rates. This leads to more inflation in the end. What do you say?
