إِنَّمَا
التَّوْبَةُ
عَلَى
اللَّهِ
لِلَّذِينَ
يَعْمَلُونَ
السُّوءَ
بِجَهَالَةٍ
ثُمَّ
يَتُوبُونَ
مِن
قَرِيبٍ
فَأُولَئِكَ
يَتُوبُ
اللَّهُ
عَلَيْهِمْ
وَكَانَ
اللَّهُ
عَلِيمًا
حَكِيمًا
ʾinnamā t-tawbatu ʿalā llāhi li-lladhīna yaʿmalūna s-sūʾa bi-jahālatin thumma yatūbūna min qarībin fa-ʾulāʾika yatūbu llāhu ʿalayhim wa-kāna llāhu ʿalīman ḥakīman
Allah accept the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them will Allah turn in mercy: For Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
— Abdullah Yusufali
[Acceptance of] repentance by Allah is only for those who commit evil out of ignorance and then repent promptly. It is such whose repentance Allah will accept, and Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
