ONE AYAT A DAY
اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَاٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ لَهُمْ اَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْۚ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ
Innal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣāliḥāti wa aqāmuṣ-ṣalāta wa ātuz-zakāta lahum ajruhum ‘inda rabbihim, wa lā khaufun ‘alaihim wa lā hum yaḥzanūn(a).
Indeed, those who believe and do righteous deeds and establish prayer and give zakāh will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
Allah Does Not Bless RibaAllah states that He destroys Riba, either by removing this money from those who eat it, or by depriving them of the blessing, and thus the benefit of their money. Because of their Riba, Allah will torment them in this life and punish them for it on the Day of Resurrection.

Imam Ahmad recorded a similar statement in Al-Musnad.Allah Increases Charity, Just as One Raises His AnimalAllah's statement,وَيُرْبِى الصَّدَق…
