( ياأيها الذين آمنوا لا تأكلوا الربا أضعافا مضاعفة ) أراد به ما كانوا يفعلونه عند حلول أجل الدين من زيادة المال وتأخير الطلب ، ( واتقوا الله ) في أمر الربا فلا تأكلوه ، ( لعلكم تفلحون )
O you who have faith in Allah and follow His Prophet, stay away from usury: increasing and compounding the wealth that you lend to people as the people of the time of ignorance before Islam did; and be mindful of Allah: following what He instructs and staying away from what He has prohibited, so that you may reach the good you desire in this world and in the Afterlife.
