Surah Ali 'Imran
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَأْكُلُوا۟ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ أَضْعَـٰفًا مُّضَـٰعَفَةً ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū lā ta'kulur-ribā aḍ‘āfam muḍā‘afah(tan), wattaqullāha la‘allakum tufliḥūn(a).
O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful.
