The Mercy of Allah Almighty

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

  إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 89

89.  Save those who afterward repent and do right. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
89.  ‘Illal-laziina  taabuu  mim-ba’-di  zaalika  wa  ‘aslahuu; fa-‘innallaaha  Gafuurur-Rahiim.

Commentary
      
Those persons are not rightful to be forgiven in any condition, who (the criminals and the sinners) have been described in the previous verses. However, Allah Almighty 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.

Allah Almighty has kept room of repentance for them and they have been given respite that if they refrain from the wickedness, leave the evildoing, choose the right path, then Allah Almighty will bestow them forgiveness; ignoring their errors. This verse manifests the Mercy of Allah Almighty.

There are many causes of depravity. The human being goes astray in ignorance, bad company, worldly love, improvidence, opposition, stubbornness etc, and does not think about his deeds. He does not draw his attention to correct his conduct. But when either he stumbles or hears any sound of advice from somewhere or he 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 pure from impureness and sins, becomes attentive towards Allah Almighty, wishes to implore earnestly and humbly before Allah Almighty for forgiveness by reproaching upon his shortsightedness, and intends firm to adopt the path of virtue in future. Allah Almighty accepts his repentance and covers him in His shadow of blessings. It is the fortune of human being that Allah Almighty has kept space of repentance for him and bestowed him respite to incline towards the goodness.
            
Contrarily, if no one gains from this opportunity, then who else will be more wretched and unlucky than him? 

Tawbah – (Repentance), this word has been used in the 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 God, 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. Allah Almighty accepts such repentance. He is Forgiving and Merciful.
