Usury and gambling are distinct concepts, though they both involve financial transactions. Usury refers to the practice of charging excessively high-interest rates on loans, which is often considered exploitative. In contrast, gambling involves risking money or valuables on uncertain outcomes, typically in games of chance. While both can lead to financial loss, usury is primarily about predatory lending, whereas gambling is centered around chance and risk.

Usury (riba in Arabic) is condemned and prohibited in the strongest terms in Quran. It is explicitly forbidden in Quran.

That is because they say trade is like usury, but God (ALLAH) has permitted trade and forbidden usury.... God (ALLAH) will deprive Usury of all blessing but will give increase for deeds of charity...".So, Muslims do not do Usury (Riba):first as obedience to God commands, andsecond because by usury you exploit the need of others to money and instead of helping them by charity or giving loan at no profit you gain more money out of them.
