Abstract
Alloh has threatened to destroy everything related to usury, "Allah Ta'ala destroys usury and fertilizes alms. And Allah Ta'ala does not like everyone who remains in disbelief, and always sins." (QS Al Baqarah: 276). Riba from usury transactions is commonplace in Indonesia. `The research wants to find out the moral message of sharia economics regarding usury and the outbreak of the corona 19 disaster. It is a naturalist research in the form of literary studies of classical interpretations from 7 classical hadith books. The result is that all classical hadiths reveal the connection between usury and various dangers in the form of threats and risks to the world and the hereafter. Riba is a major sin, usury brings the curse of Allah Ta'ala and His Messenger including the Corona Plague, Riba made business sluggish and discourages direct investment. His recommendation is time to eliminate usury.
