Surah Al-A'raf, Verse 23
قَالَا رَبَّنَا ظَلَمْنَا أَنفُسَنَا وَإِن لَّمْ تَغْفِرْ لَنَا وَتَرْحَمْنَا لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
"They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers.""
They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."
دونوں نے کہا: اے ہمارے رب! ہم نے اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کیا، اور اگر تو ہمیں معاف نہ کرے اور ہم پر رحم نہ فرمائے تو ہم ضرور نقصان اٹھانے والوں میں سے ہوں گے۔
Explanation
Adam and Hawa's repentance is the model for all humanity—honest self-admission, appeal to mercy, and recognition that without forgiveness we are lost.
Context
The first human prayer; establishes the pattern of tawbah that defines the believer's journey.
