Believers, do not devour usury, doubling. Have fear of God and you shall prosper. Guard yourselves against the fire of Hell prepared for unbelievers. Obey God and the Prophet that you may find mercy. Vie with each other to earn the forgiveness of your Lord and a Paradise as vast as heaven and earth, prepared for the righteous; those who give alms alike in prosperity and adversity; who curb their anger and forgive their fellow people. God loves the charitable. And who, if they commit evil or wrong their souls, remember God and seek forgiveness for their sins-who but God forgives sins-and do not knowingly persist in their misdeeds. These shall be rewarded with forgiveness from their Lord and Gardens underneath which running streams flow, where they shall dwell forever, How excellent is the wage of those who labour.

(3; 130-136)
