Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath

prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas

Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from

his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the

profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him

who returneth (to usury) - Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide

therein. ( 275
