The Holy Quran 66:8 — Surah At-Tahrim

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَّصُوحًا عَسَىٰ رَبُّكُمْ أَن يُكَفِّرَ عَنكُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ يَوْمَ لَا يُخْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلنَّبِىَّ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ ۖ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَىٰ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ أَتْمِمْ لَنَا نُورَنَا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَآ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Sincerely repent to Allaah (repent with a firm resolve never to repeat the wrong). Soon your Rabb shall cancel (forgive) your sins (after repentance) and enter you into Jannaat beneath which rivers flow. On that day (of Qiyaamah) Allaah shall not disgrace (degrade) the Nabi ﷺ and the Mu'mineen with him. Their light shall travel ahead of them (guiding them across the Bridge of Siraat) and on their right (and left) -hand side. They will say, "O our Rabb! Keep our light burning for us until the end (so that it does not fail us midway) and forgive us. Verily You have power over everything."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The definition of tawbatan nasuha (sincere repentance): repentance with a pure heart is that the thought of that sin no longer remains in the heart. If after repentance the thought of the same follies came again, then know that some deficiency has remained in the repentance, and the root of the sin has not been removed from the heart.
