My Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite verse No. 278. Please refer to the Text :
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الر جيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
يََأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللهَ وَذَرُواْ مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ الرٍّبَواْ~إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ (278)
= "Ya~~ Ai-yu-hal-La-dzi~na A~ma-nut-Ta-qul-loha Wa Dza-ru~ Ma~ Ba-qi-ya Mi-nar-Ri-ba~~ Ink~Kunt~Tum~Muu-mi-ni~~~n.  (278).
 = "Ya~~ Ai-yu-ha" (a Mad Jaiz Mumfshil. A Mad Lin. A Mad Ashli and after it, is an Alif Lam Syamsiah, "-hal-") = O those,  "(A)l-La-dzi~na" = who,  "A~ma-nu~" (Two Mad Ashli. After the second Mad is a Hamzah Washol with a Syaddah Ta is, "-nut-") = Believe, have Faith,  "(I)t-Ta-qu~" (a Mad Ashli and after it, is an Alif Lam Syamsiah, "-qul-") = fear, be devoted,  "(A)l-Loha" (a Lafzhul-Jalalah. The Lam is Tafkhim) = The God,  Wa" = and,  "Dza-ru~" = blow away, throw away, leave,  "Ma~" = what,  "Ba-qi-ya" = left over, surplus, remainder,  "Mi-na" (after the above sign Nun is an Alif Lam Syamsiah, "-nar-") = from,  "(A)r-Ri-ba~" (a Mad Ashli and after it, is a Standing Hamzah, is a Mad Jaiz Mumfashil, "-ba~~") = the usury, the usurious interest,  "In" (after the silent Nun is a Kaf, is an Ikhfaa Haqiqi, "Ink~") = if,   "Kun" (after the silent Nun is a Ta, is an Ikhfaa Haqiqi, "Kunt~") = to be,   "Tum" (after the silent Mim is a Mim, is an Idghom Syafawi, "Tum~") = you (pl.),  "Muu-mi-ni~na" (a Mad Ashli and we pause here becomes a Mad 'Aridh Lis-Sukun, "-ni~~~n") = Believers.
= "O those who Believe ! Have fear and be devoted to Allah, and throw away, leave the surplus from the usury (which you (pl.) have not collected) if you were indeed Believers."  (278).
 (Allah Call upon the Believers, that is the Companions of the the Prophet s.a.w. who were still being involved themselves in the dealings which include usurious interest, not to take them, the usury, if they were truly Believers.  
 It is said that, this verse was revealed about Abbas bin Abd. Muttalib, an uncle of the Prophet s.a.w., and 'Uthman bin Affan r.a., both of them had loaned their date fruit trees to a man. And when the period of fruits picking, they went to the "loanee" asking for payment. The man said, "If both of you took all the date fruits belong to both of you now, then, there is nothing left for me to feed my family members. Would both of you take half and defer the other half of the fruits, and I will give/pay double later." Abbas and 'Uthman agreed. When the time for the next agreed payment arrived, they both went to the man asking for the payment and also  for the extra payment. This incident was told to the Prophet s.a.w., The Proohet s.a.w. prohibited both of them from taking the extra payment. Thus, this verse was revealed. And both of them obeyed the Commandment and both took only the "principal" amount, that is the money actually owed without the extra, the usurious interest.).
 Till we meet again in the next session, see all of You Quran Lovers soon, Insya Allah.
