Usury
Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, “Trade is [just] like interest.” But Allah has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] – those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
Surat Al-Baqarah 2:275
Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allah does not like every sinning disbeliever.
Surat Al-Baqarah 2:276
O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers.
Surat Al-Baqarah 2:278
O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers.
Surat Al-e-Imran 3:130
And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and their consuming of the people’s wealth unjustly. And we have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.
Surat An-Nisa 4:161
And whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah . But what you give in zakah, desiring the countenance of Allah – those are the multipliers.
Surat Ar-Rum 30:39
