يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَذَرُوۡا مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ الرِّبٰٓوا اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ﴿۲۷۸﴾ فَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تَفۡعَلُوۡا فَاۡذَنُوۡا بِحَرۡبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖۚ وَاِنۡ تُبۡتُمۡ فَلَـكُمۡ رُءُوۡسُ اَمۡوَالِكُمۡۚ لَا تَظۡلِمُوۡنَ وَلَا تُظۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۲۷۹﴾
"O those who believe, fear Allah and and give up what still remains of the 'Riba' if you are believers. But if you do not, then listen to the declaration of war from Allah and His messenger. And if you repent, yours is yours principal. Neither you wrong, nor be wronged."
This warning is such a dire warning that other than for those people who intentionally commit 'kufr' such a dire warning has not been issued in the Quran for committing any other sin. May Allah Ta'alah save us all from being deserving of such a warning, and help those of us who are somehow involved in taking or giving interest get rid of it altogether. Ameen. There would hardly be a Muslim who believes that Allah Ta'alah exists, who believes in the Holy Prophet ﷺ being the Messenger of Allah, who believes that Quran Karim is Allah's book, and whose heart won't be affected by listening to this declaration of war from Allah Ta'alah.
