The Cow
     1. [2.275] Those who swallow down usury cannot arise except as one
        whom Shaitan has prostrated by (his) touch does rise. That is
        because they say, trading is only like usury; and Allah has
        allowed trading and forbidden usury. To whomsoever then the
        admonition has come from his Lord, then he desists, he shall
        have what has already passed, and his affair is in the hands of
        Allah; and whoever returns (to it)-- these arc the inmates of
        the fire; they shall abide in it.
     2. [2.276] Allah does not bless usury, and He causes charitable
        deeds to prosper, and Allah does not love any ungrateful sinner.
     3. [2.278] O you who believe! Be careful of (your duty to) Allah
        and relinquish what remains (due) from usury, if you are
        believers.
The Family of Imran
     1. [3.130] O you who believe! do not devour usury, making it double
        and redouble, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, that you
        may be successful.
The Women
     1. [4.161] And their taking usury though indeed they were forbidden
        it and their devouring the property of people falsely, and We
        have prepared for the unbelievers from among them a painful
        chastisement.
The Romans
     1. [30.39] And whatever you lay out as usury, so that it may
        increase in the property of men, it shall not increase with
        Allah; and whatever you give in charity, desiring Allah's
        pleasure-- it is these (persons) that shall get manifold.
