The phrase...

The phrase: " after We made it clear for mankind in the Book;" indicates that such persons, in fact, attempt to spoil the struggles of prophets and the devotions of the godly people alongside the path of the propagation of the Messages of Allah. This action is really a great sin so that none can ignore. * * * * The Qur'an, as a book of guidance, never blocks up the way of return and does not shut the windows of hope to people.

It never makes people despair for the Mercy of Allah, however much they are sinful. Hence, in the next verse, it shows the way of repentance of this great sin, thus: " Except those who repent, and amend (themselves) and make manifest (the truth) .

These it is unto whom I turn (mercifully) ; and I am the Oft-Returning (to mercy) , the Merciful (to people) ." The phrase: " and I am the Oft-Returning (to mercy) , the Merciful (to people) ," regarding that it has occurred next to the phrase: " These it is unto whom I turn (mercifully) " refers to the particular affection and kindness of Allah unto the repentant ones. It says if they return, Allah will return, too.

If they return to the obedience and servitude, and reveal the fact, Allah will return to Mercy and again shower over them the blessings He had ceased.

There is no god but He; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful." Commentary: It was described in the former verses that if the people who conceal the fact repent and express the reality, they will be involved in the mercy and grace of Allah. But in this verse they are warned that if they do not repent and remain in the state of infidelity until they die, they will be in the same situation that Allah, angels and all people curse them.

Of course, the repentance that occurs before death is accepted, but the repentance at the moment of death is not helpful.
