In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I am thankful to you. May you be successful, God willing. God willing, tonight we shall speak on this subject, points on these same problems will be mentioned. I hope that God will assist us in order that we can realize Islam abroad the way it is, so that all will know that Islam is for all; and that our Sunni brethren know that the propaganda that is done concerning on what we think of them is not true. All of us are brothers, the right of everybody is secure, and all are equal.
In the same manner, the honorable women should know that the amount of benefits that the women have been given in Islam has not been given to others. Tonight, God willing, perhaps I may engage in a discussion on this subject. «1» May God willing, you be successful. May God willing, all of you be successful. And these banking systems operate in the manner that is Islamic and the way Islam wants it to be. It is hoped that the roots of usury be eradicated soon from this country, and a proper economy be put in place instead; and it should not be in a manner that the capitalists suck the blood of the weak. Islam sets down rights for all strata and it places more emphasis on the oppressed. We hope that you our brothers of the banking sector also help the rest of your brothers on the path of the very ideals that Islam wants from the banks, from the businesses, from the trades, and from the lives- those same ideals be realized. May God enable all of you to be successful.
