89. Except those who repent afterwards, and reform;
for God is Forgiving and Merciful. |
Those people are not rightful to be forgiven in any condition, who (the guulty and the sinners) have been described in the previous verses. However, God is Forgiving and Merciful. To Him, if any sinner repents sincerely even after such severe sins and rebels, and intends to adopt good conduct in future, then his all sins are forgiven.
God has kept room of repentance for them and they have been given respite that if they refrain from the wickedness, leave the evildoing, and choose the right path, then God will bestow to them forgiveness; ignoring their errors. This verse manifests the Mercy of God.
There are many causes of depravity. The human being goes astray in ignorance, bad company, worldly love, improvidence, opposition and stubbornness etc, and does not think about his deeds. He does not pay attention to correct his conduct. But when either he stumbles or hears any sound of advice from somewhere or meditates himself upon his own circumstances of life, then suddenly he feels that he is going astray, repents upon previous deeds, is ashamed and tries to finish his sins all at once. He wants to be chaste from impureness and sins, becomes attentive towards God, wishes to implore earnestly and humbly before God for forgiveness by reproaching upon his shortsightedness, and intends firm to adopt the path of virtue in future. God accepts his repentance and covers him in His shadow of blessings. It is the luck of human being that God has kept space of repentance for him and bestows him respite to incline towards the goodness.
Contrarily, if no one reaps advantage from this opportunity, then who else will be more wretched and unlucky than him?
Tawbah – (Repentance), this word has been used in Holy Qur’an many times. Literally, it means to come back, to return and to consider. So it is commanded: Tuubuu ‘ilaa Baari-‘ikum (“Return the attention to your Lord”, and It gave the good news that the people who recourse to Me). ‘A-tuubu ‘alayhi (I become attentive towards Him).
First condition for repentance is that the person should perceive about his errors, disclose shame, regret on it, and determine to leave it and refrain from it. God accepts such repentance. He is Forgiving and Merciful..jpg)
