Interest? in islam

Re: Interest? in islam

yaar thats what we've always been told and its the written truth..

this guy at a local dinner, just started arguing that giving is okay but taking is haram, turns out he bought a new house last week.

he got very defensive, and was very "convinced" saying that there is no written thing in the quran that says "giving interest is haram" only taking it is haram
can someone provide me with a direct quote from the quran...

thanks in advance
