Equipose Of Usury And Alms

Comparison between Interest and Alms (L-347)

يَمْحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ وَيُرْبِى ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ276. إِنَّ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكاةَ لَهُم أَجرُهُم عِندَ رَبِّهِم وَلا خَوفٌ عَلَيهِم وَلا هُم يَحزَنونَ277.

276. Yamha-qUllaahur-Ribaa wa yur-bis- Sadaqaat.  WAllaahu  laa  yuhibbu  kulla  kaffaarin  ‘asiim. 277.  ‘Innal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  wa    ‘amilus-saalihaati wa ‘aqaa-mus-Salaata  wa  ‘aata-wuz-Zakaata  lahum  ‘ajruhum  ‘inda- Rabbihim.  Wa  laa  khawfun ‘alayhim. Wa  laa  hum  yahzanuun.

276. God condemns usury, and He blesses charities. God does not love any sinful ingrate. 277. Those who believe, and do good deeds, and pray regularly, and give charity—they will have their reward with their Lord; they will have no fear, nor shall they grieve.

By counterbalancing between Usury and Alms, God has described about the End of the both separately in these verses. He commands that the Usury, whether, how much its growth goes up; its end is poorness and destruction. God will never make to succeed in it decisively. Resultant, nothing accrues beside ruin from such wealth. Result of Usurer persons and nations is before us as a proof. Bloodshed, ruin and destruction accrued reciprocally among them. Contrary to them, God increases the Alms and Charity, blesses them who spend, and increases their reward manifold, prosperity and independence arises because of Alms and Charity.

Then God describes that He dislikes Usurer, who is evildoer, as well as ungrateful. He is a sinner because he tyrannizes the helpless and necessitous. And he is ungrateful because God gave him wealth for spending it in His Way, distribute it among the poor and indigent people, help the necessitous, but he becomes miser, keeps the money folding it up, looks brothers starving, suffering endurance of hunger, fluttering due to poorness and helplessness, but he does not feel pity. His heart does not become soft. Moreover, he becomes cruel and hardhearted. So, for him, there is severe threat.

Opposite to the Usurer, God described about the reward of a Believer also and that who performs good works, establishes prayers, pays the poor-due and alms, that he will be given full remuneration by God. He will never confront any kind of fear or threat and neither will he be displeased. God bestow to us Divine Guidance and empower us to pay the poor-due and charity. Amen.
