Allah will punish them with a grievous penalty in this life and in the hereafter: they shall have
none on earth to protect or help them. 1331
1331 The reference is to a plot made by the Prophet's enemies to kill him when he was returning from Tabuk. The plot
failed. It was all the more dastardly in that some of the conspirators were among the men of Madinah who were
enriched by the general prosperity that followed the peace and good government established through Islam in
Madinah. Trade flourished: justice was firmly administered with an even hand. And the only return that these men
could make was a return of evil for good. That was their revenge, because Islam aimed at suppressing selfishness,
stood for the rights of the poorest and humblest, and judged worth by righteousness rather than by birth or position.

11: 3 - ("And to preach thus) `Seek ye the forgiveness of your Lord and turn to Him in repentance;
that He may grant you enjoyment good (and true) for a term appointed and bestow His
abounding grace on all who abound in merit! But if ye turn away then I fear for you the Penalty
of a Great Day: 1495
1495 The enjoyment of all good and true things in life refers, I think, to the present life with its limited term, and the
abounding Grace refers to the higher reward, which begins here but is completed in the life to come. (11.3)
19:60 - Except those who repent and believe and work righteousness: for these will enter the
Garden and will not be wronged in the least
24:5 - Unless they repent thereafter and mend (their conduct): for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most
Merciful. 2959
2959 The punishment of stripes is inflicted in any case for unsupported slander. But the deprivation of the civic right of
giving evidence can be cancelled by the man's subsequent conduct, if he repents, shows that he is sorry for what he
did, and that he would not in future support by his statement anything for which he has not the fullest evidence.
Secular courts do not enforce these principles, as their standards are lower than those which good Muslims set for
themselves, but good Muslims must understand and act on the underlying principles, which protect the honour of
womanhood. (24.5)
25:70 - Unless he repents believes and works righteous deeds for Allah will change the evil of such
persons into good and Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful 3130
3130 But even in the case of great crimes, if there is true repentance as tested by a changed fife in conduct, Allah's Mercy
is available, and it will transform the repentant's nature from evil to good. (25.70)
30:31 - Turn ye back in repentance to Him and fear Him: establish regular prayers and be not ye
among those who join gods with Allah, 3543
3543 "Repentance" does not mean sackcloth and ashes, or putting on a gloom pessimism. It means giving up disease for
health, crookedness (which is abnormal) for the Straight Way, the restoration of our nature as Allah created it from the
falsity introduced by the enticements of Evil. To revert to the simile of the magnetic needle (n. 3540 above), if the
needle is held back by obstructions, we must restore its freedom, so that it points true again to the magnetic pole.
(30.31)
39:54 - "Turn ye to your Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will) before the Penalty comes on
you: after that ye shall not be helped. 4325
4325 The exhortation in brief is: 'Repent and work righteousness, before it becomes too late'. No help will come to you
when the Judgment is actually established and you stand before Allah. (39.54)
42:25 - He is the One that accepts repentance from His Servants and forgives sins: and He knows
all that ye do. 4563
4563 Whatever the sin, Allah's Mercy is open to sincere Repentance, at all times, until the decree of condemnation issues.
(42.25)
66:8 O ye who believe! turn to Allah with sincere repentance: in the hope that your Lord will remove
from you your ills and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow the Day that Allah will
not permit to be humiliated the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their Light will run
forward before them and by their right hands while they say "Our Lord! perfect our Light for us
and grant us Forgiveness; for Thou has power over all things." 554255435544
5543 Whatever may have been the faults of the past, unite in good deeds, and abandon petty sectional jealousies, and
Allah will remove your difficulties and distresses, and all the evils from which you suffer. Indeed He will grant you the
Bliss of Heaven and save you from any humiliation which you may have brought on yourselves by your conduct and
on the revered Prophet and Teacher whose name you professed to take. (66.8)
