278. O ye who believe! Observe your
duty to Allah, and give up what remaineth (due to you) from usury, if ye are
(in truth) believers.
279. And if ye do not do so, then be warned of war
(against you) from Allah and His Messenger. And if ye repent, then ye have
your principal (without interest). Wrong not, and ye shall not be wronged.

Commentary
Maa baqiya – (that which
remained), it means that, the usury you have received before this order, that
is forgiven. After that, you will not recover usury in future. You are allowed
to get the principal only.
Harbun – (war), warning
of war against Usurers from Allah and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon him) means that they should be included in the list of
enemies of Islam.
Ru- ‘uusu
‘amwaalikum – (your principal (without interest), it is called capital
also and a principal sum.
Following orders have
been explained in these verses:
- The interest, you have taken before its prevention;
that is enough. But, you should give up now that, which was increased
after the restriction of usury.
- If you do not do so, then there is a warning of war against
you from Allah and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be
upon him). You will be treated just like the rebels and renegades.
- It will be transgression also if you demand the
increased usury after its prohibition.
- If the creditor deducts that sum of interest at the
time of returning the principal, which he has already taken, then it will
be violence.
- You should not demand the principal sum immediately, if
the indebted person is very poor. However, you should give him some time;
so that he may be able to return the principal sum.
Now imagine; how much
severely the usury has been forbidden? After so much clear commandments, if any
individual brings out any form of lawfulness about the interest/usury and does
not refrain from the business of interest, then think awhile, “Is he not rebel
of Allah Almighty and His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
him)?
