Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 275

اَلَّذِیْنَ یَاْكُلُوْنَ الرِّبٰوا لَا یَقُوْمُوْنَ اِلَّا كَمَا یَقُوْمُ الَّذِیْ یَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ قَالُوْۤا اِنَّمَا الْبَیْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبٰوا وَاَحَلَّ اللّٰهُ الْبَیْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبٰوا فَمَنْ جَآءَهٗ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّهٖ فَانْتَهٰی فَلَهٗ مَا سَلَفَ وَاَمْرُهٗۤ اِلَی اللّٰهِ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ ۟

Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the Evil one by his touch Hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their Lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who repeat (The offence) are companions of the Fire: They will abide therein (for ever).
