Alhamdulillah I don't plan on taking student loans insha Allah, but I know some people who are extremely close to me that have taken some (I don't think they knew much about it), and I was trying to find some solution. Alhamdulillah! May Allah reward you GREATLY with the best of the dunya and the akhira and may He help everyone here and all those Muslims who are in these situations. Ameen. We desperately need some sort of system in place to help Muslim students to pay for their education. May Allah give us one. Ameen. Jazakillahu kheirun for this article.

I was not very knowledgeable in the deen and was unaware of the seriousness of riba.. Now I am finishing my Master's Degree in the US and have nearly $50 K in student loads, subhanallah.. I am currently seriously thinking of ways in which I can do this, and I make dua to Allah to make it easy for me.. My point is, don't get into loans in the first place. I had a friend who worked the night shift at UPS his entire undergrad time, and they paid tuition for him. If you work hard, it can be done. I regret having taken OSAP in the first place, and am now warning other brothers against it. May Allah make it easy for us and guide us all. Asalam Alaykoom

I have roughly $16,000 of OSAP (unfortunately). But, Alhamdulillah, I have an offer of employment and will be starting full time work in June. I wish to follow your advice and borrow from Muslim brothers/sisters and pay my OSAP back immediately, i.e. next month. And pay my (now interest-free loan) back over the coming year(s). Can you please help me make this happen. Alhamdulillah, you seem to have a lot of good contacts. I pray Allah swt protects us from our own shortcomings in not having a support structure already in place that helps students like myself stay away from one of the greatest sins in Islam. Abdullah, is it okay if I ask people to post here if they are willing to help me? Jazakallahukhairan katheeran. Assalamualaikum,

Someone still paying the Riba on the money you borrowed...... May Allaha Bless us all... AOA,
