It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no one who deals in usury a great deal (to increase his wealth) but he will end up with little (ie, his wealth will be decreased)".
Usurious practices are forbidden in Islam because they are unfair and exploitative towards those who borrow money, as well as being detrimental to society at large. Instead, Muslims should strive for financial stability through ethical investments and honest work so they can provide for themselves and their families without resorting to such practices.
