REPENTANCE (TAWBAH) — THE DOOR THAT NEVER CLOSES
The Quran describes repentance (tawbah) as a door that never closes. Surah Az-Zumar verse 53 states this plainly: "Say: O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of God. God forgives all sins; He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful." This verse declares that turning back from sin is possible no matter its magnitude. Sincere repentance (tawbatan nasuha) — repentance made with genuine remorse and firm resolve not to return — is a direct call the Quran addresses to believers (At-Tahrim 66:8). You can listen to the verses in this collection and reflect on repentance.
