By God's decree, the law of nature is such that interest not only serves as a strain on moral and spiritual well-being, and social and economic growth, it also causes actual regression and decline. For, although wealth apparently multiplies through interest and shrinks as a result of charity, in actual fact the opposite is the case. The fact stated in this verse is a truism from a moral and spiritual as well as from an economic and social viewpoint. *321 Allah destroys interest and gives increase for charities. (2:276) Allah deprives interest of all blessing and develops charity *320 and Allah does not like an ungrateful, sinful person.
