Question:
His saying: [al-Baqarah: 279]?
Answer:
It means: Know.
Q: What type of war is this?
A: It is an indication of the severity of the major sin, the severity of the disobedience, and that they are at war with Allah. So sins are a war against Allah, but specifically riba (usury or interest), for Allah has explicitly mentioned it. Otherwise, the sinners are at war [with Him] because they disobeyed and opposed [Him].
