Question: Rejecting verses of the Quran
As salam aleykoum,

Recently I get a new job in an Islamic bank elhamdoulilah, then my mom went on the bank website and read the verse of the Quran where it was mention that someone who is involve in riba has to take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger.
Then she said that it was not true, but i don’t know if she was aware that this words are from the Quran.
When my mom act like that, most of the time I don’t say anything I rather think before I tell something to avoid saying something wrong about Islam, and to tell her things in a proper way. But this is the first time that she acts like that with something related directly from the Quran, so does the fact that I said anything makes me a disbeliever ? How to advice my mom when she is certain that riba based loan are halal especially to own a property ?
Does my silence if I hear someone telling something wrong about Islam (for example what was mention above, or someone who says that birthday are halal…) makes me a disbeliever ?
Also you have to know that someone has already told her that riba is a major sin, interest are haram but she seems to not believe in that… this is mainly why I didn’t said anything because I know that she is not ignorant, but maybe to tell her things in a different way to make it really clear to her that this is really really haram

BarakallAllah oufikom for your help.

الجواب حامدا ومصليا

It is Wajib on every Muslims to command the good and to forbid the evil.

وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌۭ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ ٱلْمُنكَرِ ۚ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ

Let there be a group among you who call ˹others˺ to goodness, encourage what is good, and forbid what is evil—it is they who will be successful. (3:104)

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْت رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم يَقُولُ: "مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ، وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الْإِيمَانِ" . [رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ].

On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim]

Advise your mother about the prohibition of Riba. May Allah grant her guidance. Ameen


And Allah knows best
