Interest charged by banks are generally time value of money. Inflation rate in the us is like 7% and a mortgage may be 3% so overall the consumer wins against inflation.

Banking systems interest rates are in line with inflation. Whole idea of ‘time value of money’ needs to be understood before applying the Islamic understanding.

A practical solution would be to take a basket of commodities I e flour, sugar, milk, rice, gasoline etc. Price it at the time of the loan e.g. valued at $50. Assuming loan amount is $1000 which will give you 20 units of the commodities. At a later period say at repayment the commodities are valued at $55. Then amount owed would be 55*20=$1100. The only problem is what would be the incentive for someone to lend the money and how to incentivise it. Parties could agree on an additional mark up of say x% on the basket at repayment to incentivise it.You don't have to change a whole financial system for it

How does he come to conclusion that a small rate is not usury and high rate is ? because he can pay a small rate? Other than blaming muslims of the past he did not give any solid answer

He said usury needs to be looked at in terms of the reason for the law prohibiting it, i.e. to avoid the exploitation of the consumer/those in need. The Islamic banks he believes exploits consumers more than regular banks which are more highly regulated. He makes a distinction between regular interest as practiced in the regular banking system and usury, the former being less exploitative. He considers Islamic financial institutions more exploitative than regular banks. Effectively although they don't call it interest their so called bank charges are somewhat equivalent to a 30% interest rate. Some of these institutions have been sued for these practices in the UK. Dr Akram Nadwi of Cambridge Muslim College says he's never known an Islamic bank anywhere in the Islamic world to benefit the poor. He acknowledges that many will not be convinced by this argument and he says he respects their opinion but for him it doesn't really make sense as the shariah's purpose is not to make life difficult for people but to help ease their life and make it easier to worship Allah. But God knows best. Not taking loans for essentials of life is not going to challenge an exploitative banking system. Say you don't take a loan to buy your own house you can be forced into an exploitative rental market, unstable and increasing rents, slow to get repairs done etc. And if you don't take out a student loan your will not get a good job to contribute to meeting your needs, your family's needs and the needs of your community.

You don't wait for muslim countries to challenge the system or institutions to challenge the monetary exploitative system. Challenge it yourself in yourself by yourself. And that is your role and that is your Ibada. Wa Allah 3lam.
