What is bakara 179?

Bakara 179 is a verse from the Islamic holy book Quran, which deals with the prohibition of consuming interest in financial transactions. The verse states that those who consume interest will be punished in the afterlife and will never find success. It also allows for those who have already engaged in interest-based transactions to repent and rectify their actions. This verse is considered important in Islamic finance, as it forms the basis of the prohibition of riba (interest) in financial transactions, and many Islamic financial institutions build their products and services around the principles of riba-free finance.
