Those who consume interest cannot stand as one stands whom Satan confounds by his touch. That is because they say, "Trade is like interest." But God has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. *_{Leviticus 25:36}* - 37, *_{Psalms 15:5}*, *_{Ezekiel 18:8}*, *_{Ezekiel 18:13}*, *_{Ezekiel 18:17}*, *_{Ezekiel 22:12}* - 13 So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with God. But whoever returns to [dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
