The Qur’an on usury
In this article I will be looking at what the Qur’an (God’s final revelation to mankind) has to do say about usury or interest. The Arabic word ribaa means An excess, and an addition: an addition over and above the principal sum [that is lent or expended] (see Lane’s Lexicon: http://lexicon.quranic-research.net/data/10_r/026_rbw.html). According to the Qur’an, any money charged by a lender …
