3. Surah Ali 'Imran, Verse 130

O you who believe, do not consume financial interest multiplying over, and revere God that you may succeed.

(The battle was about protection from the external threat. Your prime duty remains to preserve a benevolent society, to which usury is a big detriment).

Do not eat up other people's money by way of usury that appears to you ever-increasing. But Allah's Law blights usury and flourishes acts of caring (2:276). Walk aright in the Way of Allah to attain true prosperity.
