That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," But God 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 God (to judge); But those who repeat (The offence) are Companions Of the Fire: they will Abide therein (for ever).

Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:278ye who believe! Devour not Usury, Doubled and multiplied; But fear God; that Ye may (really) prosper.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:130That they took usury, Though they were forbidden; And that they devoured Men's substance wrongfully;— We have prepared for those Among them who reject Faith A grievous punishment.
