Ayah 275

Surah Al-Baqara

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.﴿275

Translation

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.

Simplified Tafsir

الذين يتعاملون بالربا -وهو الزيادة على رأس المال- لا يقومون في الآخرة من قبورهم إلا كما يقوم الذي يتخبطه الشيطان من الجنون؛ ذلك لأنهم قالوا: إنما البيع مثل الربا، في أن كلا منهما حلال، ويؤدي إلى زيادة المال، فأكذبهم الله، وبيَّن أنه أحل البيع وحرَّم الربا؛ لما في البيع والشراء من نفع للأفراد والجماعات، ولما في الربا من استغلال وضياع وهلاك. فمن بلغه نهي الله عن الربا فارتدع، فله ما مضى قبل أن يبلغه التحريم لا إثم عليه فيه، وأمره إلى الله فيما يستقبل من زمانه، فإن استمرَّ على توبته فالله لا يضيع أجر المحسنين، ومن عاد إلى الربا ففعله بعد بلوغه نهي الله عنه، فقد استوجب العقوبة، وقامت عليه الحجة، ولهذا قال سبحانه: (فَأُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ)
