Those who earn from usury stand only like one who is struck by the devil’s touch. That is because they claim that usury is a form of trade. But God permits trade, and prohibits usury. Whoever heeds this admonition from his lord. and abstains from usury, may keep his past earnings, and his judgment rests with God. As for those who return to usury, they will deserve hell, wherein they abide forever (QS 2:275)
