Executive Summary Verse 39 of Surah Ar-Rum establishes a fundamental principle in Islamic economics and spiritual ethics. It draws a sharp dichotomy between wealth acquired through usury (Riba) to increase one's assets, and wealth given in charity (Zakat) seeking the pleasure of Allah. The verse concludes that while usury may seem to increase wealth numerically, it is spiritually diminished in the sight of God, whereas charity is the true source of multiplication and divine reward. 2.
