them and they realized that there was no refuge from
Allah except in Him, He relented towards them so that
they might repent. Allah is the Ever-Returning, the
Most Merciful. (Surat at-Tawba: 117-118)
As we learn from the verses above, the three people
who were left behind suffered a great regret in their

hearts. Consequently, they realized that the only way to
be saved from this regret was to repent and seek refuge in
Allah. This is the sincere regret that mobilizes people,
changes them, and urges them to correct their mistakes.
Such sincere people will lead a life in compliance with
Allah's consent and hope for Allah's compassion and
mercy. Allah informs us in the Qur'an that He surely
accepts repentance from His servants and forgives them:

Except for those who repents and have faith and act
rightly: Allah will transform the wrong actions of such
people into good - Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most
Merciful - for certainly all who repents and act rightly
have turned sincerely towards Allah. (Surat al-Furqan:
70-71)
But as for those who do evil actions and then subse-

quently repent and have faith, in that case your Lord is
Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Araf: 153)
But I am Ever-Forgiving to anyone who repents and
has faith and acts rightly and then is guided. (Surah
Ta Ha: 82)
