ٱلْأَنْعَام : ٥٤

  • وَإِذَا And when
  • جَآءَكَ come to you
  • ٱلَّذِينَ those who
  • يُؤۡمِنُونَ believe
  • بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا in Our Verses
  • فَقُلۡ then say
  • سَلَٰمٌ Peace
  • عَلَيۡكُمۡۖ (be) upon you
  • كَتَبَ (Has) Prescribed
  • رَبُّكُمۡ your Lord
  • عَلَىٰ upon
  • نَفۡسِهِ Himself
  • ٱلرَّحۡمَةَ the Mercy
  • أَنَّهُۥ that he
  • مَنۡ who
  • عَمِلَ does
  • مِنكُمۡ among you
  • سُوٓءَۢا evil
  • بِجَهَٰلَةٖ in ignorance
  • ثُمَّ then
  • تَابَ repents
  • مِنۢ from
  • بَعۡدِهِۦ after it
  • وَأَصۡلَحَ and reforms
  • فَأَنَّهُۥ then, indeed He
  • غَفُورٞ (is) Oft-Forgiving
  • رَّحِيمٞ Most Merciful
And when those come to you who believe in Our verses, say, "Peace be upon you. Your Lord has decreed upon Himself mercy: that any of you who does wrong out of ignorance and then repents after that and corrects himself - indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful."
And when those who believe in Our signs come to you, say, to them: 'Peace be upon you. Your Lord hasprescribed, He has decreed, for Himself mercy, to the effect that, truly (innahu, 'truly', may also be read as annahu, 'that', as a substitution for al-rahma, 'mercy') whoever of you does evil in ignorance, of it when he did it, and repents thereafter, after his [evil] deed, [repents] of it, and makes amends, in his actions - truly He, God, is Forgiving, Merciful', towards him (a variant reading [for innahu, 'truly He'] has annahu, 'then He'), in other words, forgiveness shall be for him.
