BEWARE : Allah Does Not Bless Riba (Dealing in interest or USURY) Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, Trade is [just] like interest. But Allah has permitted trade and has FORBIDDEN INTEREST. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allah . But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.(2: 275) Allah states that He destroys Riba, either by removing this money from those who eat it, or by depriving them of the blessing, and thus the benefit of their money. Because of their Riba, Allah will torment them in this life and punish them for it on the Day of Resurrection. Allah said, (Say: Not equal are Al-Khabith (evil things) and At-Tayyib (good things), even though the abundance of Al-Khabith may please you) [5:100] (And put the wicked (disbelievers and doers of evil deeds) one over another, heap them together and cast them into Hell) ﴿8:37﴾, and, (And that which you give in gift (to others), in order that it may increase (your wealth by expecting to get a better one in return) from other peoples property, has no increase with Allah) ﴿30:39﴾. Ibn Jarir said that Allahs statement, (Allah will destroy Riba) is similar to the statement reported of `Abdullah bin Mas`ud, Riba will end up with less, even if it was substantial. Imam Ahmad recorded a similar statement in Al-Musnad. May Allah save us all from Riba and increase our sustenance through Halal means, ameen
