Quran 24:5 — An-Noor, verse 5
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
except for those who repent later and make amends––God is most forgiving and merciful.
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
illā alladhīna tābū min baʿdi dhālika wa-aṣlaḥū fa-inna l-laha ghafūrun raḥīmun
