Description[?]:
| يقول المولا عز وجل في أحكم التنزل "يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ" The lord almighty says in the holiest of revelations: "God wants for you easiness and not hardship, and complete the count [days in ramadan], and praise god for what he was guided you and so that you will be thankfull" يقول المولا عز وجل في أحكم التنزل الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا ۚ فَمَن جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِ فَانتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُون The lord almighty says "Those who eat riba do not do anything except as the one who is wooed by the Shaytaan does so because they said that selling is like interest. Allah has forbidden interest and allowed selling. Whoever stops, then truly god forgives, but those who return to it have are the people of hellfire, they live their for eternity" عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْقَوِيُّ خَيْرٌ وَأَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِ الضَّعِيفِ وَفِي كُلٍّ خَيْرٌ احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْجَزْ وَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ شَيْءٌ فَلَا تَقُلْ لَوْ أَنِّي فَعَلْتُ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَلَكِنْ قُلْ قَدَرُ اللَّهِ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ فَإِنَّ لَوْ تَفْتَحُ عَمَلَ الشَّيْطَانِ Source: Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2664 Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The strong believer is more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, but there is goodness in both of them. Be eager for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not be frustrated. If something befalls you, then do not say: If only I had done something else. Rather say: Allah has decreed what he wills. Verily, the phrase ‘if only’ opens the way for the work of Satan.” Therefore, the MB asks the government to allow for economic reforms that strengthen our economy by following the rule of our Lord. |

| Message | The goal is to free ourselves from the communist / Socialist colonizing regimes of the past. Having a full command economy doesn't help our people at all when we are considered "third world" by the international community in the maters of economics. We agree with half this bill so we will tastefully abstain. |
| Date | 21:57:36, December 24, 2018 CET | From | ☪ (الاخوان المسلمين) MB | To | Debating the Economic Reform Package حزمة الإصلاح الاقتصادي |
| Message | This bill does not have full command 5/8 articles ban un-ahmadi (un-islamic) practises The stock exchange has riba (interest), and thus by placing it under government control we ban interest The fireworks ban form public is a matter of public safety as it limits it to only professionals As for energy, energy independence is key to national security, and placing private companies in charge of it is selling our nation away. Therefore we ask the HA to support our bid to rid the nation of true colonist practices, gambling, pornography and prostitution |
