Whoever gives something up for the sake of God, God will replace it with something better. God willing, our recommendations will be spot-only, in keeping with scholars’ classification of futures trading as usury. May God reward everyone who offers sincere advice, and we ask God for forgiveness. If you trade futures in pursuit of quick profits and quick wealth, know that your fate will be even quicker losses, because the usurer wages war against God.
May God honor you, Professor Hamad, and keep you steadfast in this decision.
By God, this is the best decision I’ve ever heard. I say that *from experience and pain, not hearsay*.
I’m one of those who got burned trading futures. I lost more than *$8,000*—money I’d worked hard for over years, gone in a single red candle in a minute.
Futures are an illusion. You think you’re making money quickly, but by God, *the losses come even faster*. You barely have time to think before your account is wiped out. Then you deposit more and lose again—a vicious cycle with no end, and a heaviness in your heart that only God knows.
And what you said is 100% true: the one who deals in usury is at war with God. How can anyone win a war against God?

You gave up what is forbidden for God’s sake, and God will reward you many times over in this life and the next. He will bless your analysis and your lawful earnings (spot trading).
I bear witness before everyone that what you said is true. I’ve experienced it myself: futures destroy families, and giving them up is the first step toward real profit—the profit of peace of mind.
May God reward you, cousin, and keep you steadfast. I wish every analyst were like you—fearful of God and willing to speak the truth.
