یَأَیُّهَا الَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُواْ اللهَ وَذَرُواْ مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ الرِّبَواْ إِن کُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِینَ (( 278 ))

278- O, YOU WHO BELIEVE! BEWARE OF ALLAH AND GIVE UP WHAT REMAINS OF YOUR DEMAND FOR USURY, IF YOU ARE INDEED BELIEVERS.

فَإِن لَّم تَفْعَلُواْ فَأْذَنُواْ بِحَرْب مِنَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَإِن تُبْتُمْ فَلَکُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَالِکُمْ لاَ تَظْلِمُونَ وَلاَ تُظْلَمُونَ(( 279 ))

279- THEN IF YOU DO IT NOT, TAKE NOTICE OF WAR FROM ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER. AND IF YOU REPENT, YOURS SHALL BE YOUR CAPITAL SUM, SUFFERING NO LOSS AND CAUSING LOSS TO NONE.

وَإِن کَانَ ذُو عُسْرَة فَنَظِرةٌ إِلَى مَیْسَرَة وَأَن تَصَدَّقُواْ خَیْرٌ لَّکُمْ إِن کُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُون(( 280 ))

280- IF THE DEBTOR IS IN DIFFICULTY, LET HIM HAVE RESPITE TILL THINGS ARE EASIER. (AND IF HE REALLY CANNOT REPAY HIS DEBT) AND IF YOU REMIT IT AS ALMS IS BETTER FOR YOU - DID YOU BUT KNOW.

وَاتَّقُواْ یَوْماً تُرْجَعُونَ فِیهِ إِلَى اللهِ ثُمَّ تُوَفَّى کُلُّ نَفْس مَّا کَسَبَتْ وَهُمْ لاَ یُظْلَمُون (( 281 ))

281- AND BEWARE OF THE DAY WHEN YOU SHALL RETURN TO ALLAH. THEN SHALL EVERY SOUL BE PAID IN FULL, WHAT IT HAS EARNED, AND THEY SHALL NOT BE WRONGED.
