My Story

For years, I’ve lived under the heavy weight of debt — not just any debt, but interest-based (riba) debt. It’s something that has taken away my peace, my focus, and at times, my hope.

I made mistakes in the past. I took loans thinking I could manage them, not realizing how serious riba truly is in the eyes of Allah. But when I read the verse where Allah says that those who deal in riba are at war with Him and His Messenger, it shook me deeply. That verse has never left my mind.

I knew I couldn’t continue like this. I couldn’t carry something that distances me from the One who gives everything.

So I made a promise to myself — and to Allah — to do everything I can to free myself completely from riba. By His mercy, I have already managed to close €150,000 out of the €303,000 total debt. Now, I’m working to close the remaining €153,000, insha’Allah.

This website is my way of reaching out — not with pride, but with honesty. I’m trying to make things right, to purify my life, and to live free from the burden of interest once and for all, insha’Allah.

Every contribution, no matter how small, helps me take another step closer to freedom.
If you help open this door for me, may Allah open many doors for you — in this life and the next.

Help me close this chapter and live debt-free, insha’Allah.
