2:279
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَذَرُوا۟ مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
O ye who believe! fear Allah and relinquish what remains of interest, if you are believers.
English - Five Volume Translation
O ye who believe! fear Allah and relinquish what remains of interest, if you are believers.[285]
Commentary:
The verse hints that the taking of interest is against God-fearingness. The Creator loves goodness and beneficence towards the poor and the needy, fair and equitable distribution of wealth among people, and peace among the nations of the world; but the system of interest strikes at the very root of these blessings. The closing words of the verse hint that the taking of interest is also against true belief.
English - Short Commentary Translation
O ye who believe! fear Allah and give up what remains of interest, if you are truly believers.
