Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(4:161) and for their taking interest which had been prohibited to them, *201 and for their consuming the wealth of others wrongfully. And for the un believers among them We have prepared a painful chastisement. *202
And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from meaning
*201). The Torah categorically lays down the injunction: 'And if you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be to him as a creditor, and you shall not exact interest from him. If ever you take your neighbour's garment in pledge, you shall restore it to him before the sun goes down; for that is his only covering, it is his mantle for his body; in what else shall he sleep? And if he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate' (Exodus 22: 25-7). This is one of several passages of the Torah which embody the prohibition of interest. The followers of the Torah, however, are most conspicuously engaged in transactions involving interest and have become notorious the world over for their meanness and hard-heartedness in monetary matters.
*202). God has kept in store a painful punishment both in this world and in the Next for those Jews who have deviated from the course of true faith and sincere obedience to God, and are steeped in rejection of faith and rebellion against God. The severe punishment which has befallen the Jews in this world is unique and should serve as a lesson for all. Two thousand years have gone by and they have remained scattered all over the world and have been treated everywhere as outcasts. There has been no period during the last two millennia when they have not been looked on ignominiously and there is no part of the world where they are respected despite their enormous riches. What is more, this nation has been left dangling between life and death, unlike other nations which once appeared on the stage of history and then vanished. Their condemnation to this state of suspension makes them a lesson for all nations till the end of time. It marks the tragic fate that meets a people who, despite enjoying the guidance of the Book of God, dare to defy God. It would seem that their punishment in the Hereafter must be even more severe than in the present world. (For the questions which arise about the validity of our view, in spite of the establishment of the state of Israel, see Towards Understanding the Qur'an, vol. I, Surah 3: 112, n. 90.)

اور سود لیتے ہیں جس سے انہیں منع کیا گیا تھا، اور لوگوں کے مال ناجائز طریقوں سے کھاتے ہیں، ہم نے بہت سی وہ پاک چیزیں ان پر حرام کر دیں جو پہلے ان کے لیے حلال تھیں، اور جو لوگ اِن میں سے کافر ہیں ان کے لیے ہم نے درد ناک عذاب تیار کر رکھا ہے
