وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ يَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth: He forgives whomever He wishes, and punishes whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 48:14
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 48:14] Evil must inevitably have its punishment, but there is one way of escape-through repentance, but the mercy of Allah may bring pardon or the justice of Allah may inflict penalty. It depends upon the independent decision of the Lord.
