A staged, verse-referenced account of the Quranic revelation on riba (interest): moral condemnation only at Surah Al-Rum 30:39-40 in the sixth or seventh year of the Prophet's mission, sharpening through Surah Al-Nisa 4:161-162 and Surah Al-Imran 3:130-131 after the Battle of Uhud (3 AH, 625 CE), to the complete and final prohibition at Surah Al-Baqarah 2:275-281, stated to have been revealed near the Prophet's death (11 AH, 632 CE).

A denominational magazine (published by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community), not a neutral academic source, and no publication date is stated on the fetched page, an absence named here rather than left silent. Used only for the staged Meccan-to-Medinan chronology of the riba verses, a sequence standard across Sunni and Shia tafsir generally and not a point where Ahmadi theology diverges from mainstream Islamic scholarship; the verse references themselves are independently checkable against the Quran's own text.
Notes
Cited for the dating of Surah Al-Baqarah 2:275-281 as the final and complete riba prohibition, revealed near the end of the Prophet's life, circa 632 CE.
