About Interest What Allah Told In Quran & Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) in an authentic hadith

يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ

Allah destroys interest and nourishes charities (Quran, 2:276)

The Prophet (salallahu alayhi wa sallam) in an authentic hadith said:

إن الربا وإن كثر عاقبته إلى قل

Verily interest even if it is more, its ultimate end will be less [ii].

The commentators of the Quran state that Allah erases the gains obtained through riba (interest) or takes away its barakah (blessings), while the one who gives sadaqah (charity) experiences an increase in his wealth or barakah (blessings).
