According to the Islamic Sharia law, yes Interest is considered Haram or Illegal. According to the holy Quaran, giving and receiving Interest is prohibited and hence it is considered Haram. So, most devout Muslims do not want to open bank accounts. The concept of Islamic Banking was formed to help Muslims utilize the banking services and at the same time not break their religious beliefs as well.
