Contrary to the two preceding verses on the subject of charity and alms giving, the two following verses are about usury which is opposite to charity. USURY, which is the most important factor of class distinction and the rebellious aristocratic life, is strictly condemned and prohibited:

      ``Those who devour usury shall not get up except as one whom Satan by his touch has driven to madness.''

      The usurer whose raise in this life is unwisely and mingled with love for wealth, in the life to come also he will raise like a one whom Satan by his touch has maddened. He lives mad, dies mad and raises mad!

      The thesis of those who devour usury is saying: ``Trade is like usury.'' They take no notice that our Lord God has made trade lawful and declared usury unlawful and forbidden. Great and reasonable aims and purposes are layed in any commandment that is issued by God.

      The verse then opens the door to return and repentance to the usurer saying: ``He who receives an admonition to desist usury from his Lord, and follows the commandment, giving an end to such heinous sins, will find his reward with his Lord besides having his past gains, and his affair is committed to Allah.'' On the other hand if they continue devouring usury, they will join the blazing fire of Hell, and God loves them not.
