An Islamic narration says that those who do not pay their debt without any excuse will be recorded sinful the same as it is recorded for a thief; and for the givers of respite, a reward will be recorded similar to that of martyrs, Explanations 1, Not only do refrain from taking interest, but also give a respite for taking the capital, even, 2, The capability of the debtor is the base for the length of time in repayment of the debt, "….then grant a respite until the time of ease…" 3, Islam is a supporter for the indigent, "And if (the debtor) is in straitness…" 4, Remittal, due to the insolvent debtor, is better for you, because it may happen that you will be in the same situation in future.
"….and if you remit it as charity it is better for you …" Taking tile capital will be forgotten, but remittal to an insolvent debtor will never be forgettable. Gaining the indigent's consent and the pleasure of Allah are much better than gaining wealth, "... if you but know." In religious jurisprudence, putting the excused debtor in prison is forbidden. In cases that a debtor is not really able to pay his debt, it is to the Islamic government to pay that debt.
"And be in awe of a Day in which you shall be returned to Allah, and every one shall be paid in full what the one has earned; and they shall not be dealt with unjustly." After stating some particular characteristics of the divine ordinances and Islamic affairs, the normatic custom of the Qur'an is that it often brings a general, common and inclusive notification forth at the end of a group of verses in order to emphasize and strengthen what has been cited before, and in order that the senses penetrate in the mind and spirit.
Therefore, in this verse, having attracted the attentions of the believers to the Resurrection and the chastisement of the wrong doers there, it warns them to be aware that there is a great Day in front when all the actions of every person, without anything less or more, totally will be given to him. . "And be in awe of a Day in which you shall be returned to Allah ..." It is at that time that the one will terribly wonder about the consequence of his evil deeds.
