بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

ٱلَّذِينَ
يَأْكُلُونَ
ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟
لَا
يَقُومُونَ
إِلَّا
كَمَا
يَقُومُ
ٱلَّذِى
يَتَخَبَّطُهُ
ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ
مِنَ
ٱلْمَسِّ ۚ
ذَٰلِكَ
بِأَنَّهُمْ
قَالُوٓا۟
إِنَّمَا
ٱلْبَيْعُ
مِثْلُ
ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۗ
وَأَحَلَّ
ٱللَّهُ
ٱلْبَيْعَ
وَحَرَّمَ
ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۚ
فَمَن
جَآءَهُۥ
مَوْعِظَةٌۭ
مِّن
رَّبِّهِۦ
فَٱنتَهَىٰ
فَلَهُۥ
مَا
سَلَفَ
وَأَمْرُهُۥٓ
إِلَى
ٱللَّهِ ۖ
وَمَنْ
عَادَ
فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ
أَصْحَـٰبُ
ٱلنَّارِ ۖ
هُمْ
فِيهَا
خَـٰلِدُونَ
٢٧٥
But those who take usury will rise up on the Day of Resurrection like someone tormented by Satan’s touch. That is because they say, ‘Trade and usury are the same,’ but God has allowed trade and forbidden usury. Whoever, on receiving God’s warning, stops taking usury may keep his past gains- God will be his judge- but whoever goes back to usury will be an inhabitant of the Fire, there to remain.
