Dr. Shabir Ally addresses Quran 2:275, which states that those who consume usury will rise as if driven to insanity by Satan. Dr. Shabir explains that classical commentators often interpreted this verse as referring to demon possession. However, he argues that this interpretation is not necessary and suggests a more rational understanding: the verse implies that the usurer's mad desire for wealth leads them to oppress others by charging exorbitant interest, driving them to act irrationally. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between the divine words of the Quran and the human interpretations found in classical commentaries, suggesting that the verse reflects a metaphor for the destructive nature of greed rather than literal possession by jinn.
