Devour USURY are Companions of the FIRE

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 offense) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever). Surah: AL-BAQARAH Verse # 275
