قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَى أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Qul ya AAibadiya allatheena asrafoo AAala anfusihim la taqnatoo min rahmati Allahi inna Allaha yaghfiru a(l)ththunooba jameeAAan innahu huwa alghafooru a(l)rraheem(u)

Say you-SW: O’ My-SWT bondmen who have committed extravagance against themselves: Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah-SWT : Verily Allaah-SWT will forgive the sins altogether. Verily He-SWT ! He-SWT is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ

أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَى علَى مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ

An taqoola nafsun ya hasrata AAala ma farrattu fee janbi Allahi wain kuntu lamina a(l)ssakhireen(a)

Lest a soul should say: Alas! For that I have been remiss in respect of Allah-SWT, and I was but of the scoffers!

بَلَى قَدْ جَاءتْكَ آيَاتِي فَكَذَّبْتَ بِهَا وَاسْتَكْبَرْتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

Bala qad jaatka ayatee fakaththabta biha waistakbarta wakunta mina alkafireen(a)

Yea! Surely there came to you My-SWT revelations, but you belied them and were stiff-necked and were of the infidels.

(39:59)


وَيَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَرَى الَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسْوَدَّةٌ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ

And on the Day of Judgment you shall see those who lied against Allah-SWT -their faces blackened. Is not the abode of the stiff-necked in Hell?

Allah-SWT is the Creator of everything, and He-SWT is a Trustee over everything.

(39:62)


لَهُ مَقَالِيدُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ

Lahu maqaleedu a(l)ssamawati wa(a)lardi wa(a)llatheena kafaroo biayati Allahi olaika humu alkhasiroon(a)

His-SWT are the keys of the heavens and the earth; and those who disbelieve in the revelations of Allaah-SWT -those! They are the losers.

(39:63)


In The Name of Allah-SWT the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
SECRETS OF REVELATION:

O' Prophet-SW! Inform the believers who might have erred not to despair of My-SWT Mercy. Embracing Islam before death or a believer's repentance expatiates all sins. Allaah-SWT is so kind that He-SWT remits all lapses provided the repentance is observed with due decorum

 

Repentance and its Terms


It is improper that a person expresses repentance by word of mouth yet ignores the correction of his conduct. The proper way is to turn to Allaah-SWT from the core of one's heart and to persevere on His-SWT obedience. So repent quickly lest your malefactions invoke a. sudden doom and you are in a state of unawareness. The capacity to repent is indeed a reward by itself Remember that the Quran, which addresses you, is a special Divine favour. It is the best of all Scriptures. Although the preceding Divine Books also contained the basic truths, yet this Book is an alien compassing concise revelation for the entire mankind. So follow it before it is too late and you are caught unaware. Let it not be that you lament on the Day of Reckoning over your neglect of Allah-SWT's Magnificence, and for having laughed it away, when the reality is unfolded to you. And let there be no excuses· that you were not guided to piety or upon witnessing the doom; you may long for a return to the world to practice it now.

 

The obvious answer then would be that Allah-SWT's Message had been duly delivered to you while you were in your senses but you refuted it and chose the path of arrogance and denial. This conceited lot who fabricated lies over Allah-SWT, and promoted concocted beliefs as Din will be black-faced on that Day and bound for Hell, while those who were obedient and feared their Rabb-SWT would be free of any anxiety. This is because Allaah-SWT is the Sovereign and the Creator of everything including every form of retribution. The doom will strike at His-SWT Command, and the rewards will be dispensed by His-SWT choice. He-SWT holds the keys to the heavens and the earth and the deniers will indeed be in total loss.
