The Holy Quran 4:99 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَعْفُوَ عَنْهُمْ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورًا

Translation

These are the ones for whom it is hoped (likely) that Allaah forgives them. Allaah is Most Pardoning, Most Forgiving. (A Muslim who cannot practise Islaam in his country should make Hijrah as soon as he is able to.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
