Interest is a word used in broader terms... Interest can be on a loan and investment as well.
Riba is a word used in a very limited context... Its the 'extra amount' gained by the principle from the 'loan' he has granted... It is not used for interest charged on Investments.
This topic is a very lengthy one... But if anyone wants to know more about it, I'll be pleased to explain what I have been told by learned scholars of Islam about Riba, and how our 'Islamic Banking' works.
