Fruitfulness of Alms against usury

Surah ‘Al-Baqarah (The Cow) – Chapter – 2)

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim. 
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)
 
Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

يَمْحَقُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلرِّبَوٰا۟ وَيُرْبِى ٱلصَّدَقَٰتِ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ كَفَّارٍ أَثِيمٍ 276

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ 277
  
276.  Allah hath blighted usury and made almsgiving fruitful. And Allah loveth not the impious and guilty.

277.  Lo! Those who believe and do good works and establish worship and pay the poor-due, their reward is with their Lord and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
276.  Yamha-qUllaahur-Ribaa  wa  yur-bis-Sadaqaat.  WAllaahu  laa  yuhibbu  kulla  kaffaarin  ‘asiim.

277.  ‘Innal-laziina  ‘aamanuu  wa    ‘amilus-saalihaati  wa  ‘aqaa-mus-Salaata  wa  ‘aata-wuz-Zakaata  lahum  ‘ajruhum  ‘inda- Rabbihim.  Wa  laa  khawfun  ‘alayhim.  Wa  laa  hum  yahzanuun.
   
Commentary

Counterbalancing between Usury and Alms, Allah Almighty has described about the End of the both separately in these verses. He commands that the Usury, whether, how much its growth goes up; its end is poorness and destruction. Allah Almighty will never make to succeed in it decisively. Resultant, nothing accrues beside ruin from such wealth. Result of Usurer persons and nations is before us as a proof. Bloodshed, ruin and destruction accrued reciprocally among them. Contrary to them, Allah Almighty increases the Alms and Charity, blesses them who spend, and increases their reward manifold, prosperity and independence arises because of Alms and Charity.

Then Allah Almighty describes that He dislikes Usurer, who is evildoer, as well as ungrateful. He is the sinner because he tyrannizes the helpless and necessitous. And he is ungrateful because Allah Almighty gave him wealth for spending it in His Way, distribute it in the poor and indigent people, help the necessitous, but he becomes miser, keeps the money folding it up, looks brothers starving, suffering endurance of hunger, fluttering due to poorness and helplessness, but he does not feel pity. His heart does not become soft. Moreover, he becomes cruel and hardhearted. So, for him, there is harsh threat.

Opposite to the Usurer, God Almighty described the reward of a Believer also and that who performs good works, who establishes prayers, pays the poor-due and alms, that he will be given full remuneration from Allah Almighty. He will face never any kind of fear or threat. Neither will he be displeased. Allah Almighty bestow us Divine Guidance and empower us to pay the poor-due and charity. So be it.
