Surah 9. At-Tauba, Ayah 27
| ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَىٰ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ |
| Transliteration | : | thumma yatob 'allaah min bacdi dhaalika calaa man yashaa' wa- 'allaah ghafor rah.em |
| Pickthall | : | Then afterward Allah will relent toward whom He will; for Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
| Asad | : | But with all this,35 God will turn in His mercy unto whom He wills: for God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.36 |
| Malik | : | Then after that, you also witnessed that Allah guided to repent some of them whom He wanted, for Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Again will Allah after this turn (in mercy) to whom He will: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. 1277 |
Note - 35Lit., "then, after this".

Note - 36Most of the commentators (e.g., Tabari, Baghawi.
Zamakhshari, Ibn Kathir) understand this verse as
relating to the unbelievers and having a general import;
Razi, however, thinks that it refers to the believers who
behaved badly at the opening stage of the battle of
Hunayn. In my opinion, the former interpretation is
preferable. (See also last sentence of verse {15} and
note [22] above.)
|
Note - 1277Examples of Allah's mercy and grace in difficult
circumstances in one case illustrate His grace and mercy
at all times to those who have faith.
