📖 Commentary of Surah An-Nur – Verse 10

“And if the grace of Allah and His mercy [20] had not been upon you, …and that Allah is Relenting, Wise. (He would have opened your secret).”

✅ [20] The Restraint of Divine Mercy

This verse reminds believers that only through Allah’s grace and mercy are they protected from disgrace or exposure.

Had Allah not been Relenting in accepting repentance, and Wise in managing His creation, many hidden faults could have been laid bare.

This portion suggests:

  • If not for Allah’s favour, the hidden faults or intentions behind certain accusations or behaviors might have been exposed.

  • But because He is Tawwaab (Relenting) and Hakeem (Wise), He allows room for repentance, and protects the dignity of believers unless wrongdoing is made public.

It gently warns against hypocrisy and false accusation, while affirming that Allah’s mercy often withholds punishment even when it is deserved.
