الَّذِينَ
يَأْكُلُونَ
الرِّبَا
لَا
يَقُومُونَ
إِلَّا
كَمَا
يَقُومُ
الَّذِي
يَتَخَبَّطُهُ
الشَّيْطَانُ
مِنَ
الْمَسِّ
ذَلِكَ
بِأَنَّهُمْ
قَالُوا
إِنَّمَا
الْبَيْعُ
مِثْلُ
الرِّبَا
وَأَحَلَّ
اللَّهُ
الْبَيْعَ
وَحَرَّمَ
الرِّبَا
فَمَن
جَاءَهُ
مَوْعِظَةٌ
مِّن
رَّبِّهِ
فَانتَهَى
فَلَهُ
مَا
سَلَفَ
وَأَمْرُهُ
إِلَى
اللَّهِ
وَمَنْ
عَادَ
فَأُولَئِكَ
أَصْحَابُ
النَّارِ
هُمْ
فِيهَا
خَالِدُونَ

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).
— Abdullah Yusufali
Those who exact usury will not stand but like one deranged by the Devil’s touch. That is because they say, ‘Trade is just like usury.’ While Allah has allowed trade and forbidden usury. Whoever relinquishes [usury] on receiving advice from his Lord shall keep [the gains of] what is past, and his matter will rest with Allah. As for those who resume, they shall be the inmates of the Fire and they shall remain in it [forever].
