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)?
