Transliteration:( Summa yatoobul laahu mim ba'di zaalika 'alaa mai yashaaa'; wallaahu Ghafoorur Raheem )
Thereafter Allah will accept the repentance of those whom He pleases [60]. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.
From this verse, we learn that Allah accepts the repentance of whomever He wills, demonstrating His infinite mercy and forgiveness. Specifically, the remaining members of the tribe of Hawazin were guided by Allah towards Islam. They came to the Holy Prophet ﷺ and embraced Islam sincerely. As a mark of generosity and clemency, the Prophet ﷺ freed their prisoners, showing kindness especially because they belonged to the people of Haleem Sa’din—a group known for their patience and nobility.
This verse underscores Allah’s willingness to forgive and the importance of sincere repentance, reinforcing the message that no matter the past, Allah’s mercy is always accessible to those who turn to Him sincerely.
The tafsir of Surah Taubah verse 27 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Taubah ayat 25 which provides the complete commentary from verse 25 through 27.
(9:27) Then (after so chastising the unbelievers), Allah enables, whomsoever He wills, to repent.[24] Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Merciful.
24. “Allah will accept repentance” refers to the large number of the disbelievers who embraced Islam after the victory at Hunain as a result of the kind and generous treatment they received from the Prophet (peace be upon him), in spite of their former antagonism. This was mentioned to allay the anxiety of those new Muslims who feared that, as a result of the declaration, all of their mushrik relatives would be put to death. (E.N. 16). They have been told to expect, in the light of the previous experiences, that the mushriks would be obliged to accept Islam, when they realize that neither any hope of the revival of the order of ignorance was left nor of any props to support it.
