Sura 2 · Juzuu 3

Al-Baqarah · 2:275

الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا الْبَيْعُ مِثْلُ الرِّبَا ۗ وَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ الْبَيْعَ وَحَرَّمَ الرِّبَا ۚ فَمَنْ جَاءَهُ مَوْعِظَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّهِ فَانْتَهَىٰ فَلَهُ مَا سَلَفَ وَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ۖ وَمَنْ عَادَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

Wale wenye kuamiliana kwa riba- nayo ni nyongeza juu ya rasilmali-, hawainuki kutoka kwenye makaburi yao Siku ya Mwisho isipokuwa ni kama anavyoinuka yule anayepigwa na Shetani akapatwa na wazimu. Hivo ni kwa kuwa wao walisema kwamba biashara ni kama riba, kwa kuwa yote mawili ni halali na yanapelekea mali kuongezeka. Mwenyezi Mungu Akawakanusha na Akabainisha kwamba Yeye Amehalalisha biashara na Ameharamisha riba. Kwa kuwa katika kuuza na kununua kuna nafuu kwa watu binafsi na kwa jamii na katika riba kuna unyonyaji, hasara na maangamivu. Basi mwenye kumfikia yeye makatazo ya Mwenyezi Mungu ya riba akakomeka, achukue iliyopita kabla ya kumfikia yeye uharamu wake, na hana makosa kwa hilo. Na mambo yake ya siku zake za baadae yako kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Akiwa ataendelea na toba yake, basi Mwenyezi Mungu Hapotezi malipo ya wenye kufanya wema; na akiwa atarudia kwenye riba, basi kitendo chake hiko baada ya kufikiwa na makatazo ya Mwenyezi Mungu, kitamfanya astahili mateso, kwa kuwa hoja imesimama juu yake. Kwa ajili ya hii Alisema Mwenyezi Mungu, «Basi hao ni watu wa Motoni; Wao ndani yake watakaa milele».

Tafsir

Hakuna tafsir katika lugha yako. Hii ni Al-Mukhtasar kwa Kiingereza.

275. Those who take interest will rise from their graves on the Day of Resurrection like a person who is afflicted by Satan: they will stand up from their graves and then fall like a person who is epileptic. This is because they made usury permissible and made no distinction between usury and that which Allah has permitted in terms of profit earned through sales transactions. They claimed, ‘Sale is like usury’, meaning that both are lawful since both lead to an increase in wealth. Allah refutes their comparison and explains that He has permitted sale because of the general and specific benefit it contains, and He has prohibited usury because it is oppressive and abusive of people’s wealth. The person who stops taking usury, and repents from his sin, after receiving Allah’s instruction prohibiting it and warning him against it, may keep the usury that he received in the past, without any sin. Then, whatever he does from then on, Allah will judge it. Whoever returns to taking usury after knowing of the prohibition deserves to enter the fire of Hell and to remain there eternally. The reference to remaining in the fire of Hell eternally in relation to those that believe in Allah’s Oneness is an indication of a long period of time; for only disbelievers will actually remain eternally in the fire of Hell.
