275. Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one by
his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," but
Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from
their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but
those who repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for
ever).

276. Allah will deprive usury of all blessing, but will give increase for deeds of charity:
For He loveth not creatures ungrateful and wicked.
