Abstract

Usury is the increase in money through manipulation under the pretext of trade, selling for a known period, and usury is one of the taboos that God Almighty has forbidden. Committing major sins such as adultery, drinking alcohol, killing oneself unjustly, eating usury, backbiting, gossip, and other sins, affects the Muslim individual in particular and society in general, especially in God's monotheism and belief in Him and weakens the heart. Some of the Quranic verses that forbade usury were studied in an objective study that explains the prohibition of it and repentance to God Almighty.
