Surah 33. Al-Ahzab, Ayah 24

Cf. 6:12 - "God, who has willed upon Himself the law of grace and mercy" - and the corresponding note [10].

Before Allah's Mercy there is always room for repentance and forgiveness, even after treason and crime; but the forgiveness will be according to Allah's Will and Plan, which will judge the penitent's sincerity and capacity for good to the nicest degree in his favour. Cf. also xxxiii. 17 above.
