It is not a simple question. That is why Islam has three options and various views. Then it depends on the availability of money and that is why Central Bankers change the interest rates when necessary. It is beyond me, it may not be that for you. IMHO, a limit of 12% interest is the best solution.

Government of India provides free medical aid to all 1.47 billion people in India. If it is established that a person died because of vaccination, our Supreme Court will ensure that the family gets compensation. Some medical and other people died because of Covid in performance of their duties...

There is nothing in the universe which is not Brahman. Mandukya Upanishad "Sarvam Khalu Idam Brahma" (All this here is Brahman) Another topic mentioned in the thread: Mods do their duty in the interest of the forum. If they warn me, I accept my mistake. Mods do not hate anyone.

Sometimes it is necessary for welfare of all. Take the example of small-pox and polio in India. If vaccination against these were not meandatory, we would have had the diseases even now.

We have not interacted much, the other members here know that I am a strong atheist, I do not even believe in possibility of existence of any God. I also do not believe in existence of soul, reincarnation, heaven, hell, judgment, etc. You can say that I am a perfect model of what atheism should...

What is mentioned as 'Ishwara' is the poet's choice, not mine. I see it differently, as just a saying in our culture. Padma is sure the name of Goddess who sits on a lotus, Lakshmi and Sarswati. But Padma also means 'virtues'. It is used in this verse in plural.

That is not a mountain but a pyramid showing the effect of age. I am that. I was always proud of my nose. Wanted a broader fore-head, now I have more than what I ever wished for. :D

I do not take Rama as as God, Rama is mythology. But the ancient saying in Ramayana illustrates the Hindu importance of 'truth' over the importance of any God or Goddess.

Why did Muslims had to think of alternatives? Because, they became lords of many lands in time, became rich and had money to spend or lend.

"However, not all Muslims agree with the "orthodox" formulation that any and all interest- including contemporary "bank interest" (as opposed to interest charged in predatory, unfair or abusive lending) - constitutes riba." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riba#Issues_in_interest_as_riba_an-nasiya...

Because I do not believe any God, Goddess, soul or in any superstition. I go by science. Lord Rama said in Ramayana: "satyam eva iśvaro loke, satyaṃ padmā samāśritā; satyamūlāni sarvāṇi, satyānnāsti paraṃ padam." (Truth alone is the God in the world*, in truth reside all virtues; all have...

Beg to differ. They were not for any propaganda or subjugation of anyone. Vedas are what those IE herders endured and prayers to their Gods for safety and prosperity. Upanishads are like articles in today's science journals.

:D Where did you see my picture? This is not me. I still have some hair on my head. I wear smaller spectacle. I don't have a nose that prominent. I am a bit like a dreamer.

I think I have answered the question. If money is not given to the right persons, it is lost. There has to be control on what is being done with the money and how the money will be returned.

Well I do have some gray matter and some white matter up in the box. :) Brahman is what constitutes (makes up) all things in the unviverse.

I don't. Why would I? I just shoot at superstitions.

Vedas, Upanishads. They were not propaganda. Vedas were the lore of herder communities, and Upanishad were views of scholars, philosophers.

So, yes. There might have been a pool, John had heard of it and brought Jesus there. :)

I know, I know. Kindly read "Woe to the unrepentant cities". Does God forgive those who want to come to him not in the way of Jesus? "I am the door, no one goes to father ..". Or the commandments, "I am a jealous God ..".

Someone might be allergic to even to a vitamin. It happens, Vax is no exception. I had no inkling that there is something like glutamine allergy or allergy to milk, but it exists. A scientific disposition helps to keep away such thoughts. India has erdicated polio by using vax, it still exists...
