The Sinner is Deprived of Religious Faith

The Sinner is Deprived of Religious Faith
 

Zurarah says that I asked Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) concerning the Qur’anic verse:

 “Allah does not bless usury, and he causes charitable deeds to prosper...”

(Surah al-Baqarah 2:276)

 And added:

“But I see that wealth of usurers goes on increasing?”

Imam (a.s.) replied,

“What could be a greater loss? That in return of a Dirham of interest he loses his faith. And if he repents of his deeds in the world all his wrongfully earned wealth comes to an end and he becomes a destitute.”

(Wasa’il ul-Shia)
