“Those who devour interest become like the one whom Satan has bewitched and maddened by his touch . They have been condemned to this condition because they say trade is just like interest , whereas Allah has made trade lawful and interest unlawful. Henceforth if one abstains from taking interest after receiving this admonition from his Lord, no legal action will be taken against him regarding the interest he had devoured before, his case shall ultimately go to Allah. But if one repeats the same crime even after this, he shall go to Hell, where he shall abide forever. ”

“Allah deprives interest of all blessings and develops charity: and Allah does not like an ungrateful, sinful person.”

(Page 48 Second verse) 

(No 278-279 Albaqarah) 

“O believers fear Allah and give up that interest which is still due to you if you are warned of the declaration of war against you by Allah and His Messenger. If, however, you repent even now (and forgo interest), you are entitled to your principal; do not wrong, and no wrong will be done to you”
