Surah Al-Baqarah
Verse 275–279

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who يَأْكُلُونَ consume ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ [the] usury لَا not يَقُومُونَ they can stand إِلَّا except كَمَا like يَقُومُ stands ٱلَّذِى the one who يَتَخَبَّطُهُ confounds him ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan مِنَ with ٱلْمَسِّ ۚ (his) touch ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because they قَالُوٓا۟ say إِنَّمَا Only ٱلْبَيْعُ the trade مِثْلُ (is) like ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۗ [the] usury وَأَحَلَّ While has permitted ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْبَيْعَ [the] trade وَحَرَّمَ but (has) forbidden ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ ۚ [the] usury فَمَن Then whoever جَآءَهُۥ comes to him مَوْعِظَةٌۭ (the) admonition مِّن from رَّبِّهِۦ His Lord فَٱنتَهَىٰ and he refrained فَلَهُۥ then for him مَا what سَلَفَ (has) passed وَأَمْرُهُۥٓ and his case إِلَى (is) with ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah وَمَنْ and whoever عَادَ repeated فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those أَصْحَـٰبُ (are the) companions ٱلنَّارِ ۖ (of) the Fire هُمْ they فِيهَا in it خَـٰلِدُونَ will abide forever ٢٧٥

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 Allāh 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 Allāh. But whoever returns [to dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

يَمْحَقُ Destroys ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ the usury وَيُرْبِى and (gives) increase ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِ ۗ (for) the charities وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love كُلَّ every كَفَّارٍ ungrateful أَثِيمٍ sinner ٢٧٦

Allāh destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allāh does not like every sinning disbeliever.

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] وَعَمِلُوا۟ and did ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ good deeds وَأَقَامُوا۟ and established ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer وَءَاتَوُا۟ and gave ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ the zakah لَهُمْ for them أَجْرُهُمْ their reward عِندَ (is) with رَبِّهِمْ their Lord وَلَا and no خَوْفٌ fear عَلَيْهِمْ on them وَلَا and not هُمْ they يَحْزَنُونَ will grieve ٢٧٧

Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish prayer and give zakāh will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] ٱتَّقُوا۟ Fear ٱللَّهَ Allah وَذَرُوا۟ and give up مَا what بَقِىَ remained مِنَ of ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ [the] usury إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ٢٧٨

O you who have believed, fear Allāh and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers.

فَإِن And if لَّمْ not تَفْعَلُوا۟ you do فَأْذَنُوا۟ then be informed بِحَرْبٍۢ of a war مِّنَ from ٱللَّهِ Allah وَرَسُولِهِۦ ۖ and His Messenger وَإِن And if تُبْتُمْ you repent فَلَكُمْ then for you رُءُوسُ (is) أَمْوَٰلِكُمْ your capital لَا (do) not تَظْلِمُونَ wrong وَلَا and not تُظْلَمُونَ you will be wronged ٢٧٩

And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allāh and His Messenger. But if you repent, you may have your principal - [thus] you do no wrong, nor are you wronged.
