Verse 47 of Surah An-Nahl. Or are they sure that Allah, wearing them down little by little, will not punish them? it says. That is, those who turned their backs on Allah and His Messenger, the polytheists and non-Muslims: or, it says, are they sure that Allah, wearing them down little by little, will not punish them? Allah Almighty is the First, the First, the Last and the Manifest and the Hidden; He is the First, the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden. In this case, His punishment is both worldly and otherworldly. His punishment in this world is affliction for them so that they mend their ways.
Because they do not come to their senses, (?) because they turned their backs on Allah, all the good deeds they have done have gone to waste. According to the verse, they fall into the state of people who are eternal dwellers of Hell. Yes. Indeed, your Lord is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. That is, however unjust a person may be, however deeply he may sink into kufr as a non-Muslim, when he becomes repentant, with a sincere heart, affirming with his tongue and confirming with his heart, if he turns to Allah, if he is honoured with the light of Islam, then we say: your Lord is Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
There is no sin He will not forgive. Yes. In this verse too, Allah Almighty, again from directions of Allah Almighty that are unknown surrounding people, with an illness He will give them, or an earthquake, or a drought, loss in their trade, worries, with such afflictions, their being scattered or diminished, says: are they secure against this? Are they sure that they (?) such punishments? Against the afflictions Allah Almighty will give them, that they will withstand these afflictions: do they have any proof of that in their hands? it says. Yes.
Nevertheless, Allah's mercy is vast and like the oceans. Whichever sinner, with a sincere heart, with humility, Allah's, from Allah (?), Allah Almighty does not (?) turn away this person's asking for pardon and forgiveness. Allah is Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Because there is no door other than Allah. And since He created man deficient, since He created man deficient in intellect, man can make mistakes. What does Allah Almighty say in the verse?
If We had created servants who do not make mistakes, We would destroy them and create servants who make mistakes. Why does He say this? That there is no god but Allah, that of all creation the one absolute and mighty Owner is Allah; and in this case, people, far from pride and arrogance, far from pride and arrogance, in submission to Allah, bowing in ruku to their Lord because of the mistakes they have made: this fits Allah's purpose of creation. Because Allah created people so that His Self be known. In this case, if man opposes Allah's (?) and does not listen to His commands, if he turns his back on Allah, then in this case man has prepared there his place, which is the eternal fiery Hell.
If he becomes repentant, if for the mistakes he has made he asks Allah Almighty for pardon and forgiveness, since it fits our Lord's purpose of creation, it will make Allah Almighty very forgiving. Yes. Because the verses are like this.
