puts things right, Allah
                               will turn toward him [or her]. Allah
                             is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat
                            al-Ma’ida, 39)

                          As for those who believe and do right ac-
                         tions, they will have forgiveness and a gener-
                        ous provision. (Surat al-Hajj, 50)
                     Those who fear [and respect] their Lord in the

                    Unseen will have forgiveness and an immense reward.
                   (Surat al-Mulk, 12)
                       Through His eternal mercy, Allah reveals that
                  everyone is given the possibility to repent. For example,

              shape of a calf, and worshipped it:
                   And when Moses said to his people: “My people, You
                   wronged yourselves by adopting the calf, so turn toward
                   your Maker and kill yourselves. That is the best thing for
                   you in your Maker’s sight.” And He turned toward you.
                   He is the Ever-Returning, the Most Merciful. (Surat al-
                   Baqara, 54)

                   The Qur’an reveals that Allah will forgive anyone who,
              after making a mistake inadvertently, sincerely repents and
              turns toward Him. Allah informs us that no matter how big
