The answer

Borrowing from the bank for study is forbidden because it is usury (riba). The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who feeds it, its scribe, and its two witnesses, and he said: "They are all equal." Regretting the commission of a sin is repentance, and seeking forgiveness and resolving not to return to it are necessary. As for the diploma, work, and promotion, they have no relation to the loan, and accepting the promotion is permissible without any reservation.
