4.33. DEBTS AND DUES

After name or title of the Prophet say:
 “Sal-lal- lahu ‘Alaihi wa Sal-lam”;
(peace and blessings be upon him)

After the name or the title of every
prophet (nabi) and apostle (rasul) say:
“ ‘Alai hissalaam” (peace be upon him or them)

 After the name of their family member,
as well as a companion, say:
“Radi Allahu ‘Anhu—or ‘Anha—or ‘Anhum ”
(may God be pleased with him--or her--or them)

And for others, say: “Rahmat-Allah-e-‘Alaih”
(God’s mercy be upon him)


God says

If, however, [the debtor] is in difficult financial position grant him delay until the time of ease for him; and it will be for your own good -- if you but knew it -- to remit [the debt entirely] by way of charity. -- Q.2:280

O you who believe! Whenever you give or take credit for a stated term, set it down in writing… Q.2:282
