May 16, 2025
قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'
کہہ دیجیے، 'اے میرے بندو جنہوں نے اپنی جانوں پر زیادتی کی ہے، اللہ کی رحمت سے ناامید نہ ہو۔ بے شک اللہ تمام گناہوں کو بخش دیتا ہے۔ بے شک وہی بخشنے والا، رحم کرنے والا ہے۔'
