وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ لَنُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَلَنَجْزِيَنَّهُمْ أَحْسَنَ الَّذِي كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
As for those who have faith and do righteous deeds, We will absolve them of their misdeeds and We will surely reward them by the best of what they used to do.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 29:7
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 29:7] Allah gives incentive and encouragement to the sinners to amend themselves and become righteous. It is a self-destructive theory to believe that mere faith in some prophet or saint will save from punishment despite indulgence in the gravest sins and crimes, because this way the offenders will remain habitual sinners. The Christian doctrine advocating salvation of Christian believers through the blood of Jesus is ridiculous, since it implies that Allah has lost His authority over sinners. The sins of those who believe, turn repentant to Allah and amend themselves will be wiped out by Allah. For effective intercession by those whom Allah has given permission see commentary of al Baqarah: 48, 255; Nisa: 48; Yunus: 3; Maryam: 87; Ta Ha: 109; and Anbiya: 28
