Al-Baqarah 2:276

Word by word

يَمْحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ وَيُرْبِى ٱلصَّدَقَـٰتِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ

Allāh destroys interest and gives increase for charities. And Allāh does not like every sinning disbeliever.

يذهب الله الربا كله أو يحرم صاحبه بركة ماله، فلا ينتفع به، وينمي الصدقات ويكثرها، ويضاعف الأجر للمتصدقين، ويبارك لهم في أموالهم. والله لا يحب كل مُصِرٍّ على كفره، مُسْتَحِلٍّ أكل الربا، متمادٍ في الإثم والحرام ومعاصي الله.
