Ya, it's part of Islamic religion. There's a whole banking system set up around it.

It's also part of Judaism, and Christianity.

I heard it wasn't part of Judaism, but definitely part of Christianity and Islam, which is allegedly one of the historical reason Jews are associated with banking, since the Christians and Muslims had to go to the Jews for loans.
