Instead, they try to illegally acquire people's money by relying on evil methods. Those who consume Riba are not satisfied with the permissible and pure resources that Allah provided them. There is a connection between the beginning of the Ayah on Riba and what Allah ended it with. indicates that Allah does not like he who has a disbelieving heart, who is a sinner in tongue and action. Whoever gives in charity what equals a date from honest resources, and Allah only accepts that which is good and pure, then Allah accepts it with His right (Hand) and raises it for its giver, just as one of you raises his animal, until it becomes as big as a mountain.Īllah Does not Like the Disbelieving SinnersĪnd Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners. Imam Ahmad recorded a similar statement in Al-Musnad.Īllah Increases Charity, Just as One Raises His AnimalĪnd will give increase for Sadaqat, means, Allah makes charity grow, or He increases it.Īl-Bukhari recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said,
"Riba will end up with less, even if it was substantial.'' Ibn Jarir said that Allah's statement, (Allah will destroy Riba), is similar to the statement reported of Abdullah bin Mas`ud, (8:37)Īnd 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 people's property, has no increase with Allah. 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)Īnd put the wicked (disbelievers and doers of evil deeds) one over another, heap them together and cast them into Hell. On them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.Īllah will destroy Riba and will give increase for Sadaqat.Īllah 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.īecause of their Riba, Allah will torment them in this life and punish them for it on the Day of Resurrection. Truly, those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and perform the Salah and give Zakah, they will have their reward with their Lord.
And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners.Ģ77. Allah will destroy Riba and will give increase for Sadaqat. In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.Ģ76. Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Surah Al-Baqarah Ayah 276-277
