In this verse the tone of the speech is changed and in pursuit of the preceding advices a strict warning is given to the usurer that if he does not cease devouring usury, he has to take notice and await a war from Allah and His Messenger. (MOHAMMAD (AS)) This is an ultimatum of war for the freedom of debtors who are oppressed by the usurers, and its lawfulness refers to another verse in QURÄN=S 49:9 that says: ``...

fight that which acts wrongly until he returns to Allah's command....''

      The commandment also implies that the Islamic governor is allowed to stop the transaction of usury even by force majeure. Then the verse ends in calling the usurer to return and repent; saying: ``If you repent; yours shall be your capital sum, suffering no loss, and causing loss to none.'' That is to say; if you return and repent, giving an end to usury; you may collect and have your principle sum which is lent to people without getting any interest. This is a just judgement because both parties will suffer no loss.

The pharase: (LATAZLEMUN VALA TOZLAMUN) WHICH LITERALLY MEANS (DO NOT OPPRESS, NEITHER BE OPPRESSED) HAS NOW TURNED TO A GENERAL ISLAMIC SLOGAN, WHICH IMPLIES THAT, GIVING WAY TO OPPRESSION IS AS BAD a sin, as being an oppressor.
