Hijrah

It has been more than a year since Rusdi, 38, left his job
as deputy head of a state-owned bank's branch office in North Sumatra

over the fear of the danger of riba (interest)

that he learned from preachers on the internet.

He put an end to his 13-year banking career in April 2018,

when he was leading an office worth Rp 400 billion (US$28.3 million) in assets
and had 10,000 customers.

Zainur now works from home,

running an online business

and helping his wife operate a beauty salon for Muslim women.

 “It started when I watched a video on the danger of riba from Erwandi”
Zainur said, referring to

a Muslim preacher on YouTube.

It was early 2017 and
 Zainur found himself delving more and more into anti-riba campaigns

on Facebook and Instagram,

especially through the sermons of social media-savvy preachers Abdul and Buya
