The Holy Quran 2:278 — Surah Al-Baqarah

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَذَرُوا۟ مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Fear Allaah and give up (write off) what interest is left (what is still due to you) if you (really) are Mu'mineen. (After learning about the prohibition of interest, do not demand any interest owing to you.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, what usury you took before the prohibition, you have taken; but whatever accrued after the prohibition, do not demand it at all.
